Babymoon coming soon

Wow, I haven't updated this blog for 2 months! 10 more days before my due date... I have been dyeing a little bit in the last month or so. I didn't really fulfil my list because I've been busy knitting for the baby! I have some yarn for the wish list that I need to reskein and take pictures. Also I have planned to stock this month, so as soon as I reskeined and took some pictures, I'll list them in my HC. I'm no longer in any congo because I need some flexibility to stock whenever I can.

I've also signed up for Winter 2010 Etsy Baby Shower. You should check it out.


In the meantime... a few yarns that I've completed. I've also finished Selah Whimzy in merino/silk that is TDF! Picture is coming.. it's still damp.

Stocking tomorrow - Serenity Tree

Whew, time flew by and I didn't realize the amount of work for stocking. I finally was able to reskein all of the yarns for Tuesday stocking. I'm trying to give more quantity per colorway, either in same or different yarn base. Please come and visit Serenity Tree congo as we're doing a one-year anniversary celebration.

I've been spinning quite a bit too in the last few weeks. Finally the fatique is gone and I have more energy.

Some of the handspun...
Selah Neverland
This will be available at http://hyenacart.com/CharityStore/ on October 14.



WSK Iris, the main color was done a while ago, but I finally was able to wash and reskein the trim. This will go to Laura and she'll turn this into SMSS Handspun Pinafore.



I think I took the last spinning custom, will be completed approximately 1 month before my due date. I experienced carpel tunnel during the last month of my first pregnancy, so I'm afraid I'm going to experience that again. I will taking 5 months off from January thru May and will be just doing some here and there as time allows.

'Nother handspun yarn and stocking info

I've been picking up more spinning now. Not as fast as used to be but trying to make time for other things as well. Here's the last 2 (well, there're 3, but I haven't reskeined one). I got decent yardage.

After taking an extended dyeing hiatus, I'm back with a birthday stocking at the Giggling Guppy Congo. Please check it out. I'd like to offer some new yarns that I've never (or rarely) offered, new colorways, and yarn that suitable for newborn. These will be stocked on the 15th at noon.

Just want to point out that I'm closed for custom dyeing but I take some wish list in my yahoo group. Please indicate who you are and if I have some yarn that meet the criteria, I will offer them to those who is in the list first.

Last spinning FOs

I haven't spent too much time dyeing this last couple months. The morning sickness still lingers and who thougt that wet yarn just stinks! LOL. Hoping to get back to the dyeing groove soon. However, have been spinning some more, though slower, but I think I got so much yardage recently. Which means my yarn is no longer dense.. yay!

Here's some pictures..

Stocking update and what's up with Yarnoodles!

There will be a huge stocking this month... One will be on the 10th and the other one will be on the 24th. On the 24th, I'll be joined by other wahms whose sharing the same birthmonth. This will be on http://hyenacart.com/Yarnoodles/, which is newly redesigned by super talented Cynthia from Webwurkz.

What will be up for grabs? Well, I can't tell you yet, but there will be a lot of colorways and yarns since I haven't done the inventory yet. Unfortunately I won't be offering any handspun yarn at this stocking. I might shoot some preview pictures. Some listing will be up this weekend.

Now, what's up with Yarnoodles? We won't be stocking this week at the Serenity Tree because the congo is taking a break. We're still in the fence from stocking at the Giggling Guppy. Why? Well, we're pregnant (edd 01/25/10) and in the first trimester. Nausea and fatique really prevent us from dyeing and they're saying it's best not to dye during the first trimester. We'll see... Unfortunately we won't be stocking too much in the next few months depending the energy level.

That's all.. Pictures are coming...

May stocking

May is going to be busy and fun for us.. I'll be having my Serenity Tree stocking Tuesday and we'll be leaving for vacation on Wednesday afternoon. There will be a couple existing colorway, one new colorway and a couple OOAK colorway from my month mash line. Here's the link: http://hyenacart.com/SerenityTree/

I won't be stocking at Giggling Guppy this month but.. there will be some surprise stocking toward the end of the month... and a couple guest stocking that you don't want to miss...

Stocking today... and several finished handspun yarn

We're stocking today at the Giggling Guppy (http://hyenacart.com/GigglingGuppy/). There are one new colorway though didn't turn out as I want it exactly but I think it's pretty good.



Right now I'm dyeing 2 or 3 set at the time and trying to stock up for my big stocking in July. I'm also planning on some special stocking in May (if I can) as part of Yarnoodles first anniversary..

Here's some pictures of completed handspun yarns..

I want to thank you for all who participated, but I keep hearing that people wants to try handspun yarns.

So I decided, let's give it to someone who never knit/crochet with handspun but want to. I can't check the validity, but.. post if you want to be entered, why you want it and what you would make with this yarn if you get it. Entry will be closed on Friday midnight PST (April 3rd).

Oh, also post who you are (either from DS or HC) so I know how to contact you.

Thanks everyone.
