Finally Finished My Fancy Cowl!

So why do I call it my Fancy Cowl? The yarn is only available in Europe, of course! I have been coveting this cowl :

on the yvestown.com shop. It's a free pattern, so I finally broke down and ordered the yarn. I love the matte color combination, and the pattern was pretty easy - although I did change it up with a decrease so the cowl would drape more at the shoulders.


Let me tell you - I am THRILLED with it! I rarely keep anything for myself, but I had to make the exception for this one. I have since found yarn to replicate the colors (and reduce the cost of it by 2/3), so if you want one for yourself, just let me know :-)




Happy Hooking!

It's a Cinco de Mayo Celebration!

...And not just because its Cinco de Mayo today. But because I got my new Silhouette in the mail. And I am so stinkin' excited to bust it open! For those that aren't familiar (how could you not be??), here's what they look like:

Minus the laptop, of course. You hook it up to your trusty computer, log onto their silhouette store, and start shopping! It's different than other machines because you don't have to buy an entire cartridge of fonts and/or pictures! You ONLY buy what you want. Insanely smart, these people are.
