Etsy Store open for business!

The Ambrosia and Bliss Etsy store is finally stocked. I've posted the stitch markers I made and will soon be adding some felted and knitted items. I had a lot of fun today photographing all of the pretty beads in the sunshine.



I'm also nearly finished with my first dishcloth for the church auction. It's a slightly modified version of the Squidge Cloth in a nice bright yellow. http://knit-nutt.blogspot.com/2008/01/squidge-cloth.html I'm discovering the huge difference between knitting wool and cotton. There is no stretch in cotton so the fabric is a little more crisp and solid. This yarn has a nice soft texture to it so it doesn't scratch, but it's a very odd sensation after so much wool.

My mom is re-learning how to knit after 30 years. We're going to make cotton dishcloths for her church auction. Since it's being held in honor of St. Patrick's Day, we chose Lily "Original Sugar 'n Cream" 100% cotton in happy spring green colors. There's yellow, lime stripes, cool breeze ombre, green twists, country twists, shaded denim, and sage green.




We're going to see my grandmother in a couple weeks and I'll hopefully be able to learn about dpn's and circular needles from her. She's been knitting for years and years and I know she has a lot of experience to share. She knits hats for preemies, so maybe we can contribute to the cause while she teaches.

It's hard to believe I've only been knitting since November. It feels like I've been doing this forever.
