quick update

So I went to Miss V's both Monday and Tuesday and we did not dye a single skein. Miss V got her soap stuff and we made soap instead. Well she made soap and answered all my questions. Miss V gets all mad scientist. Very fun to watch. It was pretty cool to see it come together.

I did get some dyeing done yesterday pictures soon.

The kids are having a great time with Papaw and Grandma S. They love the lake and the boat rides. P &GS seem to be having a good time too. The dogs are a little upset that we took the little people away. Winston misses his sleeping buddy. I pick the kids up tommrow.

More goodies!

There is some new stuff in the shop. Including another roving. I have 2 more to dye next week.
I hope to get a lot done next week as the MKs will be with Papaw and Grandma S for 4 days. I am going out to help Miss V dye the next Loopy Ewe order on Monday. That should be fun. She is a blast. Tuesday I will be dyeing here all day. I have some silk fabric I want to play with too. Gotta run kids to play with...

Knitting

I have in fact done some:

Here we have the neck warmer I knit for my God Daughter. Yarn is BMFA Socks That Rock lightweight in the Hard Rock colorway. It flares at the bottom so as to fit under her ski jacket. Keep the draft out without adding any bulk. I wrote up the pattern for this. I just have to type it up and have it tested. I love how the pattern is always changing. Anyone want to test knit this for me? I will send you the pattern and a skein of BunkyBoBo's to knit it with. Leave a comment with your e-mail.

Below are my boot socks. I finished the one you see here and have just started the 2nd. Yarn is Cherry Tree Hill supersock thin. Cosmic Night colorway (I think) I have had this yarn wound forever. I really like the colors, it is darker than it appears. This is also a pattern I just made up. Nothing fancy. I wanted a tight fitting leg but a flat foot to wear with my boots. I find a bumpy foot bugs me with all of my boots. I am not a girlie girl but I do love me the boots. I wear them almost year round. Short ones, tall ones, high heels, and low. Short red leather with spike heels and pointy toes... you get the idea. So I call these Short Boot Socks. I am knitting these on a 2.25mm. Tight for me. I am hoping they will wear well.

I have posted some more yarns and roving in the shop. With more coming later today. Remember free shipping on 2 or more skeins in July!

BunkyBoBo's July Special

4 ounces of Superfine Merino Wool Roving

Colorway: Strider

I love how this came out. I can't wait to see someone spin this up!

And now to the shop special part. All orders in July come with a free gift! It's a surprise so I'm not telling.

Also any order of 2 skeins of more will come with free shipping! So stock up on some pretty yarn won't ya?

Happy 4th of July!

It is the 4th of july and big dog Winston is a pussy! he has been hiding in the house and will not go out because he is afraid of fireworks. Even when they are no fireworks going off he cowers in the corner. Poor guy. Puppy Toph couldn't care less. She is feisty and fearless. She just barks right back at them. This would not be a problem if the people in the neighborhood did not set off fireworks at 3 in the morning!


In shop news. I have the first of the spinning fiber ready for the shop.(I hope it s dry this morning!) Ms. B will be glad to know that it is the colorway Strider. Pictures later today. Also the last of the Guide colorways. I will be starting on the fall/winter colorways soon. I really enjoyed working with a theme so I am thinking about one for the f/w line. I have too many ideas to count right now. I need to do some research.

In knitting. I finished the Estes scarf. The lace shawl still needs to be ripped back. I am not too sure about that one. I may just restart it. I am working on some socks too. Not sure what I'll do next. Maybe Dads Vest. or maybe a fair isle hat. or maybe some mittens.

Hope you all enjoy the long holiday weekend!

Weekend Update

We had a great weekend with my folks. MB was a bit of a monster but hes 4 what ya gonna do?

It was nice to see them. The kids love them. They really like it when Grandpa rough houses with them. Poor Dad. I hope he is not too sore

We went to the zoo Sunday and met this cheeky monkey. She didn't get anything from us. She was looking at a little kid eating Fruit Loops. All of the monkeys were out playing. It was really fun to watch them. There were tons of people there. It was the first nice Sunday of the summer. I did notice a lot of tree damage from last weeks storm.

After I take the kids to the park today I am going to post 4 new colorways, and work on dyeing the fiber I got last week. I also have a pattern to write up. I want to have it test knit before sharing it.
