I picked up these colorful felted balls at my mom's yarn store a couple of weeks ago. My plan is to string them onto some hemp and make a necklace out of it.
This is Shi Bui's yarn "Stacatto." It's a beautiful, light weight yarn that is suitable for those of us that live in the south to knit with year round. This is a snap shot I took while I was photographing Creative Yarns' latest ad.
My mother taught me to knit when I was 12 yrs old or so. She's been knitting for all her life because her mother taught her, so it was only natural that I get taught the trade, too. Ever since, I've been knitting, knitting, knitting. I've also picked up a serious addiction to all types of fibers thick or thin. Knitting is a sense pleaser--the range of yarn colors, the tactility, the hand motions, the satisfying clickclickclick of the needles. I'm glad that I've got the knitting strand in my dna & glad that my mom taught me what I needed to know to foster it.
