We're big fans of babywearing. We used wraps a lot when Boo was smaller, and now we use the Ergo quite extensivly. But there's one problem. See her overalls? They are almost too long when she's walking around, but in the carrier they ride up almost to her knees. For a knitting mommy wanting to swath her Boodle in woolly love, this is an opportunity.

Baby Legs. The yarn is from a Bishop Fiber Guild dyeing workshop last weekend on sock blanks. It's Paton's Kroy socks painted with Jacquard dyes (in skeins because we ran out of blank making time). It turned out gorgeous. None of the pictures quite capture the almost iridescent look. Also, the colors worked up to look like an FEA stress analysis graphic.

They fit and as near socks are beloved of the toddler.

Ice Queen

This summer I decided to go into the world of making gloves and made myself some gloves out of my handspun. It was a lovely wool/silk blend, and I had quite a bit left over. So I plied the remaining singles as two-ply instead of three and made myself an Ice Queen. I started New Year's eve and finished this Friday, partly because it worked up fast and partly because of a bit of obsession. I've worn it just about constantly since.



Cause it's just that pretty. And we don't keep the house that warm.

This is closer to the actual color, I love the subtle striping I got.


You can see the beads in this one


With the hood up. Sorry about the expression, it's hard to take good pictures of yourself.
