Just stopping in to let you know a few things before we get to the schafer family tour of rocks and renegade and other photo entries.
Just wanted to let y’all know that thanks to nat and his web genius, after breaking the website successfully several times, i’m updating all my software and stuff. So i now have a MAILING LIST for fans of our etsy shop. So if you want to sign up to know when we’ll be updating and which fabrics either look near the top of my blog on the left where it says blog, store, contact, MAILING LIST...click that and sign up. Or go here for the lazy. Do me a favor and spread the word, i know we’ve always been spradic in updating, but this will really help you to know the down-low. So please feel free to take advatage of that.
Next up some pictures to assure you that i haven’t given up on knitting. The monkey sock was too tight for my liking and was frogged in Utah. I didn’t bring other sock needles on the plane. I did start a chevron scarf.



that’s two skeins of socks that rock midweight in lucy and froofraw.



I’m not so sure how i feel about this scarf. I sort of like the way it’s coming out. Not so sure i like spending hours and hours and basically the rest of my life knitting this. This is one slow moving scarf. How in tarnation did the masses do this knit?
I also am tackling this ginormous stack of 70 project pouches. For stock for etsy and for Yarncon in october.

Edited: now mind you those are the insides of the pouches you see. to find out the outsides perhaps you should sign up on the mailing list? muwahahahahaha




I did some commissioned sewing for Aija’s little contest.
i made 3 sets of tissue holders and key fobs that matched.




I hope the people who get them like them, i think they turned out quite colorful and cute. I forgot how much i enjoy making those key fobs. Not only are they useful but fun to sew. I’m toying around with taking some knitting skulls scraps and making some key fobs for the shop what do you think?
next up how about a few pictures nat takes of me making weird faces? i’m very very unphotogenic. I also seem to give him the don’t take my picture face a lot. So here’s evidence

playing with simon friday


we went to a performance of the midnight circus on the park across the street from nat. They were raising money for a new playlot. Nat got a new camera for his b-day. A fancy schmancy Canon Rebel XTI SLR. So all these photos are taken by him with his fancy-pants new camera.
these guys were warming up, they were a jump rope team and they were pretty cool

me playing with nat’s lens while being camera girl holding them while he switches out



this guy was funny, i think he was a clown of sorts. He was like a super hero who made great faces and climbed chairs


ok so that was some of my weekend. A lot of sewing, watching the Bears lose tot he Lions and we checked out the movie Once. I highly recomment this little movie if you have a chance to see it. So worth the money.
