Fiber Friday, February 22

Posted on February 21, 2008 by ThePaintedTiger

Here’s what is Fresh from the DyePot this week!

Fiber Friday for February 22

In the top row:  Sunflowers, Robin’s Egg, Fresh

Middle:  Wisteria, Princess, Tropical Rainbow

Bottom:  Love Lies Bleeding

Most of these hand dyed yarns are on the Superwash Merino & Nylon sock yarn, Princess is on the Single Ply Lopi Style yarn that I carry.  They will all be appearing in on ThePaintedTiger sometime on Friday, and a couple of them will also be in my Etsy shop.

Love Lies Bleeding got its name due to too much time spent in seed catalogs!  This is a variety of Amaranth, and the name and color just jumped out at me.  It is a delighful semi-solid.  I guess I just can’t wait for spring to get here.  We haven’t had such a hard winter in Iowa for years.

Scarves

Posted on February 20, 2008 by ThePaintedTiger

As of 2011, I no longer make these scarves.  Sorry!

Here are a collection of scarves I’ve knitted over the past month or so.

This first scarf was requested by a Dr. Who fan.  The full length scarf is rather unwieldly, so I created a more managable version of it.Dr. Who style scarf

This three color scarf is in the progress of being custom knit for a hockey player in team colors of black, red, and white.

This tan/warm brown and black striped scarf and hat set is being sported by a fine young man.

And finally, I made a scarf for myself! *Gasp!* My previous one had seen better days, and it is always helpful to wear something that you sell.   Although not striped like my usual scarves, this is still a nice scarf, and was easy to make.

I have quite a bit of newly dyed yarn drying, so there will be some yarn pr0n in the near future!

As of 2011, I no longer make these scarves.  Sorry!

A new site, a new Blog

Posted on February 15, 2008 by ThePaintedTiger

Well, here is my first post on WordPress.  I had hoped to import all my blogger posts, but I haven’t managed to get past the error messages yet.  So, you just get me.  Oh, and I’ll share a yarn picture!

Rainbow Peruvian Worsted

Anyway, you can see that I am trying to get going here with my own independant webstore.  Encouragement is required, and I am learning many new things all at once, and going through the tutorials can be tricky, since some things I cannot do until some other things are done that I can’t do right now (follow that?!)  I’ll get it all straightened out soon, and be adding yarn here for you to purchase!
