I love wrapping. I like to try and make big elaborate bows. And I am clumsy at it sometimes. I also like each package to look unique and I often run out of ideas before I am done. But this year I am inspired! I had some great help on sunday at the make:Tulsa Christmas party getting started. I wrapped and Erin of Sunshine and Carousels made toppers and bows for me. And now I am home and ready to tackle some more myself. But wait! She is still helping me. See, this year she is writing a Ribbons and Bows series on her blog, so if you are looking for DIY wrapping that looks almost too amazing to want to open, go and check out part 1 here and part 2 here. The second post especially made me want to drop everything and go wrap some more presents. Eventually I will post some pics of the ones I had help with and the ones I do myself. Christmas is extra fun with pretty, pretty packages!
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. My whole Monday night knitting group went mad ov
