| Fiber Optic Yarns - KnittyandColor - Avalon Springs Farm |
Here in these parts, the first weekend in May is MD Sheep and Wool. There is something for everyone at this wonderful event. Yummy food, sheepdog trials, books, tools, cute animals and every type of yarn or fiber a person like me could ever dream of. The above is my haul.
There is so much going on this weekend. Every weekend at this time has also been a Marvel Event and Age of Ultron is one of the biggest so far. And while the way Marvel has built to this movie has been amazing and I have loved each and every story (Including Agents of Shield and Agent Carter) the reason this movie is so significant to me is it has the Scarlet Witch in it. I have always loved the Scarlet Witch. I have her original comics as you can see. Over the years she has popped up in games and cartoons but when I saw that last sneak peek/spoiler/trailer at the end Winter Soldier I squeed with wild abandon like a little fangirl.
And I found this at the new toy exchange. So much love.

Finally, I can show you the secret project. I am very happy to have finished this before S and W! This is my sister's Awesome Trellis in Miss Babs Gradients. It is a twin to mine that I did in the pink color-ways. Her yarn is absolutely awesome, the hues are so lovely and it is such a joy to work with. That is why I was happy to wait in a long, long line to get more at S and W.
All in all I feel very accomplished.
This week it was back to making more flowers for the commission. I want to keep this forward motion going so I'm going to make a flower a day since I have a June deadline.
In between my flowers, I am going to make a Caitlin in some lovely yarn I just got from Italy on Etsy. Caitlin is going away to a crimson and gray school and I wanted to give my lovely model something special for all her hard work on the photos. I think this will be perfect!

There is also some designing going on as I have grabbed the next item from my very organized list of patterns I am in the process of creating. This is something I have been dabbling with for a while and finally, the dust has settled towards some forward progress. I just love this yarn!
I just had to totally reverse gears when I talked to the intended person I was creating this for and she told me she hated shawls. So a cowl it is then. Her birthday is on Valentines's Day so I interspersed hearts on every other block of the entrelac in lace. I'm going to name it Maureen after my friend who has been with me through all the ups and downs and we knit through it all. She inspires me with her fearlessness in fiber and she makes the most beautiful things.
I've been trying to work on this for a while but maybe the Universe knew that a shawl was the wrong direction all along and I just wasn't getting the message. I have trouble with getting the message sometimes it seems. I have gotten the 2 of Pentacles (Boulders in this deck) for my card of the week for 6 weeks now. You must understand that I shuffle and cut the cards for about five minutes each time and still I get the card of two fighting witches. This card is usually about juggling your priorities in an equal fashion. But this card shows two girls fighting tooth and nail over beets and beads. I read somewhere that they were going to a swap meet and one heard beets and one heard beads.
So is this a lesson of perception again? One girl was hoping for some lovely ripe beets and didn't want the shining beads and the other girl was hoping for a bauble of a different nature? Is it about disappointment because what you thought was not the reality of what you were supposed to get?
Obviously I do not know or I would not keep on getting this card. But I keep going forward, doing my thing and working on goals and being happy. Eventually, I will figure it out right?
I hope your day is full of happiness and joy and some forward progression on your goals!
Happy crafting,
Ruinwen
