Speaking of which, I received these yummy fab's of Amy Butler's at a pretty good price thanks to a tip from Knitpastis, a fellow AB fabric fan.
I'm sure they will turn into many totes, a girl can't have too many can she?
Progress is being made on the first ankle sock. Cascade fixation in Desert Sand and you can see the color I chose for the next pair! I see many of these in my future as they are perfect for here in hot, humid, muggy, miserable NC. Once I get the pattern perfected for my feet...they'll get done in no time!
Lastly...see this, 1 lb of Kona Superwash in fingering weight! My emergency sock yarn arrived from NH in 2 DAYS!!!! As I was so worried about the previously dyed yarns and was not going to send either one...well I have decided... my pal is getting the merino/tencel blend. Not as dark as I wanted but sooo very soft, I can't resist sending her them. I ordered these skeins fromCatnip Yarns! Amazing service! I emailed my angst late Monday nite, and after a few emails and payment on Tuesday, it was shipped the same day. There may be a tiny weeney bit of dyeing this weekend..then again..thinking of the winding and weighing involved, I may take some time off LOL! Besides, my roots are calling me...dye me not your yarn!!!
My hats off to all of those who do this themselves as a home business either full-time or part-time! That means you Heather and Dani as my top two I purchase from. All those skeins you both produce..I don't know how you do it..but very glad that you do!
Happy Friday everyone! :)

Happy Friday to you too, Z. I love the fabrics! And the ankle sock - are you following a particular pattern or winging it?
I gotta get me some of that Wilton! Wow, what awesome colors!
Soak and dye a test strand (a few yards) of the Kona before you decide - it changes into a completely different animal, I promise! :)
Z! I love your Cascade Fixation Ankle Sock! I also love your Amy Butler Fabric. You gotta be in all your glory with all your hobbies surrounding you!! The fabric to make bags, knitting a pair of socks and dyeing yarn!!
Fabulous fabrics! Have fun with the kona!
Ooohh, Butler fabrics. I wonder if I'm up to the task, but her weekender bag has been hauting me. I love the paisleys you've chosen. Can't wait to see what you sew with them!
Fabrics are fabulous! I am suggesting little summer tops and matching purses! What do you say 'bout that?
