As promised, Vogue Skirt Pictures

Here's the Vogue Knitting skirt all laid out for blocking. It takes up my whole dining room table! Ain't it purdy?

I wore my skirt to knitting group last friday to show it off. I'm so happy its done. I worked on it for almost a year and a half! Buts its so beautiful, its all worth it! The crocheted edging took me forever, and I stayed up until almost one a.m. that night finishing tucking in all the little ends.

And looks at how it twirls! The first picture we took it actually twirled so high my slip was showing, so this is a very modest twirl. :-)
I know, its terrible it took me over a week to post the pictures, but I know you'll all forgive me. Oh, and I changed out the elastic, so it no longer slides down. The knew elastic is much stronger and I can spin without haveing to hold it up!

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

More Partying

Joining in with Tickle Me Tuesday!  I hope I'm not overloading you, but it's fun to party  ;-) I love this apron , but being a non-pinky, I wish it was blue. These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
