I've been really productive lately. First, I took this alpaca yarn, which I got from this shop. and knitted a scarf for me! Yes, finally something for me, after all that holiday creating.
The great thing about this shop is that it introduces you to the aplaca from whence your yarn came. Mine was from the adorable Elvira.
I used the same Saxon braid pattern I used on this Celtic Knot scarf, and I love it!
I really wear it all the time.
Then... well, remember that dinosaur scarf I made for my nephew? As promised, I did another one! My Daffy the Dinosaur is a stylish accessory and toy all in one!
He really does love to snuggle
We did have one slight misunderstanding while taking photos, when he thought it was acceptable to try and eat my head, but we soon straightened it out and found that his favorite food is alpaca yarn!
Now that that's taken care of, he's perfectly safe to be around children, and would really, really like to go home with some great kid who will care for him. You don't have to be too careful, though, as he's 100% washable wool and won't felt if he gets wet.
If you think you'd like him as your household pet, you can find him in my shop right here.

Artist Spotlight: Part Ninety-Three
This time I'd like you to meet Alix Browning of The Alchemists Vessel.
Her jewelry has a style that just really draws me. partly because she does chainmaille, and we know I just love chainmaille.

Bent on helping and promoting other artisans, she's also the owner and operator of Little Shop of Artists, a retail venue for local artists in Boise.
