Finally as I look out of the window and sip my Ambrosia, or food coloring colored water, I am at the edge of many projects at once and very exciting as I am making each of them a priority day by day. Thanks for stopping by.
I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I am also sharing my SECRET persona, Lt. DAX, my life in code while living in Bajor. Maybe fiction maybe not is up to you to decide. Peldor Joi!!!

Benjamin New Clothes
These are different views of a pattern that I came up with as I wanted to use some of this Lion Brand Home spun Baby yarn, this yarn was discontinued and I can see why it was. It sheds a lot and it is made out of acrylic and polyester very 70 's.
Here is is holding to his pacifier for dear life, he enjoys to hold it in one hand while grabbing one of the hat strings on the other. This pattern was created in about 5 hours. The Cardigan Coat has like a very nifty neck line on the back, and folds like a beauty. I was going to make a Hood, but I decided not to at the end and thus there is the nape fold of the neck.
Isn't he cute, I am also practicing my photographic skills and hope you like my latest pictures. Benjamin does not mind posing and he loves the attention, thanks for stopping by!

Persian Poppies , Moonshadow, Toot's LeBlanc
Later that day we Had Toot's Leblanc come for a visit. Owner's Carl Brittain & Michele Camacho gave us a wonderful presentation. I am honored to have the possibility of having them carry one of my patterns. I am working on getting it tested and when ready I will forward it to them. Michele was chatting with me in Spanish which was a lot of fun, she speaks very fluent Spanish. Her brother was a very Handsome shy guy.
That day we got a Knitting machine demostration by Morgan Hicks from All Points Yarn , and later that night we had a horrible Swedish Vampire movie for Movie Night PJ Party. lol! IKEA will never be the same after you watch this movie. Terrible choice, but it was fun to look at something through the eyes of the Swedish, I know I am so antropological sometimes. Thanks for stopping by!

Bi-Tone HoneyComb & Photography
My first class was Bi-Tone Honeycomb by James Herbison from http://fibrealive.typepad.com/ who has his own yarn store in New Zealand. His great shop http://www.joyofyarn.co.nz/ is online and you can get possum wool!!! I have known James for over 5 years by Internet friendship, so it was nice to finally meet him and give him a big hug. What a nice guy and he comes with lots of New Zealand Candy!
The bi-tone honeycomb is a beautiful texture that you can use for a sweater , jumper or a bag or even a cushion cover. I wanted to learn that for such a long time and got the opportunity to do so, Thanks James and MFKR.
I took this class last year and it was a hit this year as well. Hand spindling there is Michael, Kent , James, WonderMike Teaching and Keith.

Men Knitting Retreat West Coast 2009
I just want to share the video first. This was at Dumas Bay Center in Washington State. The Second Video is about the outside of the place. We went to Skacel Company which makes Addi Turbos and yarn, we went to Moon Shadow Alpaca farms and saw where the yarn comes from and how the Alpacas are treated, we also met Toot's LeBlanc owners and saw some of their yarn as well. I hope you enjoy the little tours and I will be blogging later on with more detail about each day.
Thanks for stopping by!
