Beyond Adorable and other stuff

I don't think I've ever said this before, the knitwear is irrelevant...don't even look at the hat and scarf...Look at this beautiful child! Holli (having a child gives her access to other children), hooked me up with this outstanding model. I can provide no details about her at this time as casting agents from all over will try to take her away from me. Thank you Karen for lending me your daughter. Quite the monkey on the climbing wall!

I actually managed to drop off an application before the last hour it was due. This is exciting for me. Almost all of January and February this year went specifically to new designs. This was a change, but necessary. No shows, no selling, just creative work. It was intense and wonderful.

Now I have a specific plan and direction for the year (also new for me). Each month will focus on one specific task.....The rest of February will be for spinning new yarns for example. I haven't worked out all the kinks yet, but it will be fabulous when the plan comes together.

My fibre friend from Oddwear and I have a plan for the fall that is just too wonderful. We are considering a cross country fibre buying road trip. All would be documented on the way, podcast and blog wise....let me know what you think. Seriously. More details to follow.

Received some new fleece today...This is my favourite colour ever....
I have some strange and unusual plans for this yarn. I am going to make vampire skeleton yarn. It will be a thick thin spin, then I'm going to ply it with fine black cashmere on which I will be threading these skull beads...

I know, plastic skulls and cashmere....It's been in my mind for a while....time to make it happen. Now where did I put that cashmere...got to go!
