Busy day at Elizabeth Drake Designs

I spent a couple of days taking pictures and getting some of my yarns on line. I have been having so much fun posting them and seeing them on line. Now I need to get people moving to the site. I have knitted up some really nice new objects and the more I work with my homespun the more I like it.


This yarn is going to be used in a sweater. I almost have enough of the purplish color to make a nice sweater. I think putting the designer yarn on the collar or the neckline or across the front as visual element would make it very nice. Then the rest of the sweater could be knit with a stockinette. There are about 4 ounces left to spin.

Love, love, love, my suri alpaca. It is soooooo soft. It will be thread spun as a trial to see what happens. Hope it works like I want it to. It has been washed and carded. Now on to the work.

Finished a few hats and shawls in the last few months. I especially like the green one with the flowers in the yarn.
I then wove more yarn through the length of the shawl and it has a nice look to it. It is a simple shawl and just garter stitch on big needles but it does have interest by the colors and flowers from the designer yarn.
