New Yarn in Etsy Shop!
Come on over to my Etsy shop and see the five new skeins of hand-dyed yarn for sale! I couldn’t not be blogging this long and not have anything to show for it! (That’s a trick sentence there) Here is a peek of the yarnie goodies:
Please say hello to Ante Bellum. I couldn’t learn about [...]
Seventeen going on Eighteen!
I feel old, lol. Ok, so I’m not very old, I just can’t believe I’m already seventeen. I’m not exactly sure how it happened. One day I was fifteen, the next I had my sixteenth birthday, we came to the states and all of a sudden I’m seventeen, wondering how in the world did that [...]
Last Dye of the Summer
Next Monday, our family starts school. Since we’re moving in September, my mom thought it might be better if we started a bit earlyso we could take off of school when we’re moving. These are the last few days of summer vacation for me. Therefore, I’m ending summer with one of my favorite things to do, [...]

Before I left, I was busy dyeing some yarn for my etsy shop, and writing up tutorials. I’m sort of sick [...]
A little bit of nothing much

Because I just finished a huge project, my shawl, I’m now sort of taking a break with knitting. Not to say I’m taking a break from knitting completely, just that I don’t have anything too big on the needles right now. I’m just working on a pair of knee-high socks that I had started [...]
Sanka Pup Designs, now retailer of Cascade Yarns!
I see the UPS truck at the neighbor’s house. It’s coming our way. Will it stop at our house? I watch from the window, hoping. It stops. I stop and stare. The box looks about the right size. My brother suggests it might be something else that was coming by UPS, but I wouldn’t give [...]
