Snow snow and more snow

new CD Design bag

Just a taster and some colour on this white white day,this bag is the foundation of the new Chrissie Day bags so watch this space –

Well I am getting tired of snow now as it is preventing me doing the chores that have to be done and the things I wish to do ,like calling on old acquaintances to talk yarn and felting and felted slippers etc .Funny I always think of slippers when it snows, today I have a bright pink pair on from one of my earlier patterns .Yesterday when it was icy cold I wore my Lopi felted slippers they are so warm I remember sitting with Janine at Glaramara years ago when slippers were being produced like a factory .I cannot think how many pairs I have knit or designed since then or even how many differing yarns and variation on a theme there must be .

Remembered today to do all my ACID membership stuff now that is one very good organisation to belong to and if you have ever been worried about your work being copied then I do recomend it to you.With images you can of course make sure you have your copyright registered and even if you put them on flickr they are logged as being copyrighted and you get a link attached to them.

I have taken now to logging all my patterns even before they go off to publishers and magazines  just as an extra precaution –we live in strange times .

Back to slippers and warmtoes yesterdsay I met a very special young lady who will be 1 year old on Sunday called Holly.Her Mother had bought a pair of knitted shoes designed by me actually a special order I did and she visited me and it was a delightful time I was given a lovely Thank you card with a cat with attitude on wearing a tiarra .

Holly would have been a very clever girl to know that at the moment I am busy designing my daughters tiarra for her big day in May.

If jewelry is a passion for you as well as yarn pop over to http://www.beadilicious.wordpress.com and see what I am doing over there.

yarn piccies

Ok I am showing off now,managed to get card from camera to computer and some of my yarn pics I am really proud of like this ‘need lace’ pic, beautiful yarn from Sundara .I have started one of the patterns from Jane Sowerby’s beautiful book.Think the colours just great and the names swung it for me when I was buying it believe it was something like ‘blackcurrant over raspberries ‘ 

More  fab yarn  and this piccie of my hyacinth flowers the colours in this make me wish it was yarn.Back to yarn colours and my last piccie on this post watch out though there will be no stopping me now .

       This was some beautiful yarn from Poshyarn over here in the uk ,this is one that did not get way and I have enough for a huge shawl–yummy yummy .So just to counteract all this talk of colours and food thoughts I have been to the gym on the bike, on the steps machine and 6 lengths of the pool,cannot describe how self righteous I feeel but I can tell you that 3 hours on now and my legs ache ache ache –arms are ok but they get lots of exercise normally.

Next nice thing that happened today was I got an invite from my daughter to go and stay for the weekend -so in between felting and Cologne I shall be in Cardiff ,this is going to be a good month .

Nice to have visitors from across the pond and do hope they check back soon .

Next post will have free bag pattern for knit to felt from moi,it is very chic and tres french.
