Updates galore!

There has been knitting, there are not great knitting pictures to post.

It's hard to take pictures of yourself in a new sweater and hubby and I just haven't got around to doing photo shoots.
(Picture taken by my 6 y/old with the 3 y/old running for the camera)


This is the completed February Lady Sweater. Knit with Cascade 220 (my fist time using that yarn and I loved it) that was gifted to me...

Once I got the hang if the pattern repeat-it went quickly. It's warm, I love it.
I used some old buttons that were my Mom's--gives it a nice touch,I think.


I have a couple of test knits that I can't post--which makes the Knitting content part of Knit blogging difficult.

What am I to do....
Pictures of dyeing:




Pictures of Soap! (Apparently Blogger likes sideways pictures of soap)


I have been wanting to make this Strawberry Soap since I first started making soap a year ago.
I finally dove in and am loving the results.

It's make with real Strawberries, some yummy Strawberry fragrance that I bought and some red colouring.

I also made some Patchouli Soap. I love Patchouli--this is a nice light scent--not the overwhelming 60's dirty hippy Patchouli. Spicy, light, and fresh.



Looks good huh??

Very pretty sweater. And very nice-looking soap! Mmmmmmm.... strawberries!

Brenna: You're a VERY good photographer! And you CAN'T be six years old already.... no way. Not possible.

I think the six-year-old did a pretty good job, given the threat of an incoming three-year-old. :-)
