Old and New

My pride and joy this Memorial Day weekend was making this top from my hand dyed Shibori fabric.

I realized my sewing machine can make buttonholes but that I do not have any buttons.
So here's my rickety cross stitch that help my top together all weekend.


And below are some detail photos of a raglan top I made, screen printed, and hand painted(with the help of my amazing beau at the time) junior year of college.

Yarn Yarn and More Glorious Yarn!!!

Additions to my personal yarn stash:

Include Hand dyed, Handspun, and Naturally Dyed Yarns from:

Wind Spun Yarn- Hand and Naturally Dyed with Cochineal and Logwood (my Natural Dye teacher from SAIC would be proud)

Creatively Dyed Yarn 

Sliver Moon Farm- Hand Dyed Yarn

Maple Creek Farm- Hand Dyed Yarn

Handspun by Stefania- Gorgeous Handspun Yarns

Jitterbug by Colinette in Velvet Plum colorway. This little lady stole my heart at first glance.  Also Hand dyed.  I have used this yarn before and LOVE working with it.  I wish it came in a worsted or sport weight.

Congradulations to these vendors for winning my heart with their beauties and making me put my money where my mouth is.(Also a big thank you to all the vendors in the post and the last post who kindly allowed me to take pictures to share with all you folks.)

Just some eye candy...
