Midnight Amethyst

Working feverishly on a new coat with a recipe of yarns I call "Midnight Amethyst" . All yarns are part of the Lion Brand collection which is now my favorite as a staple of my creative fiber recipes since the yarns are easy to find, readily available and a good quality for a mass produced yarn collection . I am currently working on a Midnight Amethyst coat for the show at the museum tomorrow. Lets hope I get it finished.

Upcoming Jacket

Here are the ingredients for my proposed jacket.

Hooking Again

I the words of Rakim: It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you... (old school hip hop heads know what I am talking about). Had to put up my needles to address my quilting demand and to my purchase of expensive quilting equipment (trying to get them to pay for themselves!!!). I have also invested a lot of $$ in yarn over the years and everything must earn their keep at the Gadson Gallery so I am back hooking. With my trusty S hook (she is only for the "Big Girlz") and 4 strands of yarn/fiber I expect to have at least 1 coat and 1 jacket ready for this weekend's "Kocktails and Kouture" at the Rio II Gallery. Splitting my time between crochet and quilting will not be easy (and did I even mention my recent love affair with paper?) but I will be giving it a shot this season. I love buying supplies and now it is time to work on paying the piper.
