My dinosaur pal
This little guy’s my new buddy! He’s the Stegosaurus in the Prehistoric Pals pattern by Knitting at Knoon.
I still have to knit his legs and attach the spikes along his spine, so he’s about half finished. He’s knitted in Noro Kureyon – gotta love the bright colors!
I’ve also finished another Noro Striped Scarf in Silk Garden, just for me.
I made DH one a couple years ago, in husbandy colors, but mine’s a lot more colorful – a riot of aqua, pink, green, blue – definitely my colors. I’ve seen this scarf done in many color combinations, from subtle to shout-out-loud, and each one has looked great!
The International Quilt Festival in Houston is coming up fast – this year, it’s October 14-18, two weeks earlier than usual. The Quilt show is total nirvana for quilters, and lots of fun for non-quilters too, as there are zillions of booths to explore. Great Yarn Company will be there again this year, so if you plan to attend the show, please come visit our booth. We’ll have lots of yarns and patterns, and some fun new items that would be perfect gifts for you or someone on your gift list. (Can you believe it? Time to start thinking about gifts again!)
Also coming up, and very exciting (at least for us!) – we’re getting a new logo and redesigning our website! As we get closer to unveiling the new website, I’ll give you some sneak peaks!
Rarrrr – uh-oh, that’s my not-quite-finished dinosaur calling me!
