I have a new favorite product
It isn’t a “new” product, just new to me. It is a beeswax lotion bar from Snohomish Soap Company. I purchase 2: Tuberose and Lemongrass. I purchased from my favorite LYS, Country Yarns on Avenue B, Snohomish, Washington, after a fellow knitter shared hers with me at Thursday night knitting. It is the most wonderful lotion and because it is in bar form you never have to worry about the lid coming off and spilling in your purse or pouring too much out and trying to get it all absorbed and end up wiping off with a tissue. You can leave your rings on and they don’t get all gunked up. AND the way it leaves your skin is to totally amazing. And one more big plus is that you can apply, rub it in and go right back to your knitting; there is no greasy residue. Another plus is that my friend told me it lasts forever. I looked on their website and could not find it listed anywhere on their site, but I am sure, if you don’t live close enough to purchase from my favorite LYS, you can probably contact them directly and obtain this wonderful product.
I completed two projects since my last post, the Lollipop Cabin Toddler Pants and a tunic top to go with them. Of course they can be worn without each other as well. I have pictures of the pants, but not the top yet. My DIL has my camera, so I have to wait for pictures of my completed projects. I am seriously researching cameras with the idea of getting one just for my knitting projects.
There is a one skein contest at my favorite LYS One Skein Project and I am planning to make another pair of these pants to enter into the projects since it took exactly 1 skein of Lollipop Cabin yarn. Visit www.lollipopcabin.com she has new pictures of her
· Beginning Wednesday I will be busy helping with the Lollipop Cabin Madrona Fiber Arts 2011 WINTER RETREAT (www.madronafiberarts.com) booth in Tacoma. Most all of the classes are full and closed, but you really should at least stop by one day and cruise the booths. The show is Thursday through Sunday.
My next project will be another Lollipop Cabin project. This time the project is a toddler dress and I will be knitting with two strands, which makes it worsted weight and I expect will go much faster than knitting single strand sock weight.
If you live in the North King/Snohomish Counties in Washington State I most strongly and lovingly recommend Country Yarns on Avenue B, Snohomish, Washington. It is the best LYS there is and the owner is a real kick. Here is the link to her latest newsletter:
Even if you don’t live close enough to get into Country Yarns, there is always something interesting and educational in this news letter. Be sure to check out Learning with the Llama, if nothing else.
That’s it for now and I most likely will not see you again until after Madrona at which time I will have tons to tell you about all the sights and wonders I found there.
Go forth and knit!
I pray you are all always happy, blessed, loved and healthy.
Have a God filled day,
V
