New hand-dyed sock yarn pics …

I spent some time working to clear up some of the yarn pictures in my shop today.
I am no photographer, so when I first listed these skeins,
the photos were not so clear and vivid.

Thanks to wonders of PhotoStudio,
the pictures now are closer to doing justice to the lovely colors in the yarn …

You can see more pics in the yarn sections of my shop — here and here!

Snow, Sewing, and Knitting …

This is the view we woke up to at our house this morning . . .

We had a lot of ice as well, before the snow coated everything,
so we are very grateful that we still have power today!

I believe that now the untouched, pristine snow
is even now being turned into a snow fort/snowball war zone!

In warmer news, there is a new Knitting Project Bag,
and new skein of Merino Sock Yarn in our Etsy shop today —
yes, we didn’t even lose internet access (which we often do!)
