Just Added a TON...

Just added a  TON of magazines, patterns, books to the ever expanding list of magazines, patterns and books I am selling.  Come visit on Ravelry on the BOOK DESTASH & ISO LIBRARY (or email me here for a list) http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/book-destash--iso-library/241236/1-25

I've been working on this.....

Here's my progression on the "Josephine" Top.... I am doing it in an incredible shade of indigo blue. I am using Hempton by "Hemp for Knitting" which is a combination of cotton, hemp and modal. It is soft and the drape on this is going to be beautiful.

and here is a taste of one of my new Art For Your Head hats......................

and here are three patterns i am carrying in the DreamWovenSupplies.etsy.com shop (along with the yarn to make any of them. I think my next one will be the 'all over lace' top.

Enjoyable Work By:

A must see artist... YUKO SHIMIZU Currently featured in Communication Arts magazine (May/June 2008 issue).... use the link below and make sure you look at some of her illustrations...quite a few of them have fiber related (yarn especially) themes running through them. A great combination when paired with a good sense of humour and a talent for drawing.

Yesterday a top was started....

So yesterday I started a summer top for myself... yes.... we will try to follow another pattern.  (anyone that has been reading me know that this, 'the following a pattern' , is truly a challenge for me!   I've chosen The Josephine Top by Deborah Newton that appeared in the Interweave Knits Summer 2007 issue.
  Here's what it looks like... 
 I appreciate this style.....loose but fitting.... I am doing it in HEMPTON (30% hemp/30%modal/40%cotton)  by Hemp For Knitting/LanaKnits in an Indigo Blue.....  pretty pretty stuff.  I will keep you appraised.

oh.. .and the Pistachio AND Espresso CASHMEREcanapa yarn sold yesterday.... i have ordered more in Pistachio, Espresso and Cristallo Blue and a couple of patterns.  This will get into the supply shop upon arrival along with some other goodies.

Whats that you say??Cashmere,Cotton,Hemp,Modal?????

oh yeah............ can we say soft? can we say luscious? can we say environmentally correct?

ATTN: KNITTERS and CROCHETERS!

I am selling a lot consisting of 16 Sandra Fashion Knitting magazines in my etsy supply shop, as well as a lot of 7 Family Circle Easy Knitting (Newer), a lot of 7 Family Circle Easy Knitting (Older) and a lot of 5 vintage Knitting With Simplicity Magazines. DreamWovenSupplies.etsy.com

Stunning colour work, lace work, patterns, graphs. Going thru the magazines gave me second thoughts about selling them, but I really need the space. I was also shocked at just how fashionable (currently fashionable) these styles were. Good basic designs as well as designs for the more advanced knitters and crocheters

2 Things.......

• This Art for Your Head - Attitude Hat got bought yesterday.
• 
  It was bought by a woman who wanted to give it as a gift to the daughter of one of her co-workers. She is going to be starting a years worth of chemo and wanted her to have this... What a great woman she must be.... she is also a knitter and it makes me go all warm and gooey when there is a story like that behind a purchase.

• My first ACEO card: (Available at DreamWoven.Etsy.com )
• This is the first ACEO in the series "Exotic Forays". There will not be another like it because each fiber piece will be different.
  
  "The Rubaiyat" by Omar Khayyam
  
  This card is comprised of a delicate fiber paisley either crochet,knit or woven (or a combination) by me... It rests on a collage of moroccan tapestry and a partial illusration, as well as Stanza 47 of the Fitzgerald translation of Omar Khayyam's "The Rubaiyat", which reads:
  
  "And if the Wine you drink, the Lip you press,
  End in what All begins and ends in -- Yes;
  Think then you are To-day what Yesterday
  You were -- To-morrow You shall not be less"
  
  The entire collage is backed on to a 2.5" x 3.5" varnished piece of cherry wood that is 1/8" thick which was purchased from another etsy seller - RonH, whose shop can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=16067 .
  
  The paisley crochet has been stitched to the collage, prior to backing it on the maple wood. If you really wanted to, it could be removed and used as a patch or pin
  
  ACEO stands for Art Card Editions and Originals. The standard size is 2-1/2" x 3-1/2". That the ACEO is that size is the only requirement in making ACEO's.
  
  This ACEO will come in a plastic sleeve.... but, due to its nature it is meant to be touched, not sealed away. It will be signed and dated on the back.
  

Two Heads are better than One.....

I wanted to put a blurb here about a woman that went out of her way for me. I recently ordered some yarn from HandKnitting.com, prior to the holidays. It is a type of yarn i usually dont stock but needed it to complete a custom order. I received a letter from Nancy at Handknitting.com advising that she had sold the business to a lovely woman named Laurel. I contacted Laurel and she advised they were having trouble with US customs, getting the yarn across the border from Canada. She wasn't sure that she was going to be able to ship as expeditiously as she wanted, so she ordered the yarn from another shop and had it sent directly to me. TALK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish Laurel the best of luck in her new business and will post a link as soon as she has set up shop!
