Ballet Slippers

The last pair of ballet slippers are complete. I have given them to two very beautiful girls who looked absolutely adorable in them.

I just made a new purchase. I bought the nickel plated circular options set with case and nickel plated DPNs from Knit Picks. I am rather excited about this purchase and plan to immediately get started on the Bella mittens for my pal Josh. I tried using a pair of circular needles I had but it wasn't looking good, the cord was not flexible enough to do the magic loop technique. I also tried to change the pattern so I could use DPN but grew impatient with it. So $90 later I have a set of new needles that I intend to get a lot of use out of.

Well I am going to make another attempt to add pictures through the picture option on blogger. I hope it works.

Happy knitting!

She Bop Socks

I finished a new pair of socks I called She Bop Socks using Serenity Yarn in a pink and grey color way. I love them so much but it has been so hot that I have not had an opportunity to wear them.

Such a great CD. I love Cindy Lauper!! I hope you all enjoy her and the She Bop Socks.

Happy Knitting!!

Pictures

The picture problem is now fixed! Though in past blog entries there may not be a picture present all future posts will have pictures!! Yeah!!

Picture Problems!!

So I seem to have picture problems. I add a picture to my blog for everyone to see and a few days later the pictures disappear! I hope to have this resolved but I have been busy. The site updates are COMPLETE!! Product will be added and soon we will open for business.

I can't tell you all how excited I am! Madelyn has some great colorways and I have had some great spurts of inspiration.

I also wanted to thank everyone for their patience and support.

I am currently knitting up some toe up socks in a pink and grey color way. Superwash Merino Wool, 2ply. I absolutely love the colorway.

Also for anyone in the Park City, Kansas area I hope to start a small group. I love to have anyone interested join me. Please contact me at blog@serenityyarn.com for more details.

Well I must sign off and figure out this picture problem!

Happy Knitting!

Bella's Baseball Scarf

The scarf is complete! Finally. I really put that project off. It was fun to knit up, I just took my time and as most knitters know once you lose momentum you end up moving onto a new project. I posted pictures on my facebook page for my facebook friends to see and to get a chance to win. Yes thats right I am gave it away. The winner Josh Witt and he is expected to send me some pictures with him wearing it!

Lets see what is now on my needles, well another Twilight Scarf. Rosalie's White Scarf. This one I hope to knit up pretty quickly. Its a simply and repetitive pattern. I posted a picture for everyone to see what scarf I am talking about.

I also painted a few skeins of yarn. These skeins will be for sale as soon as I get them twisted and tagged. Below is just two twisted skeins but I think I will keep for scarf knitting. I have some great socking yarn that I am so excited to share. Madelyn just loves them and has come up with her own colorway ideas for her product line, Madelyn's Lollipop Yarns.

Like I posted on facebook I asked if anyone is interested in seeing something knitted up that they saw on tv or movie to let me know. I would love to knit it up and I would love the challenge. Well I am off to knit!

Happy knitting!

May Day!

I can't believe it is May already. Serenity Yarn site is moving along and I have added product. Right now I am busy dying some beautiful yarns I look forward to sharing with everyone. Madelyn has started her own product line called Madelyn's Lollipop Yarns. I am so amazed with her. She puts together the most beautiful colors.

I have been so busy that I still haven't sewed the blocks for the Bella Scarf together. I am actually pretty disappointed in myself for this. Hopefully here soon I will get it done. I was looking at the Rosalie Scarf and I think I can knit it up pretty easily. A simple pattern but a beautiful one.

Summer sure has taken its time getting here. I haven't decided what summer knitting projects I want to work on so I am defaulting to knitted socks... however I have a crazy notion to knit a wild bikini, maybe with yarn that I hand painted myself.

Well I have some yarn to paint. Happy Knitting!
