I dyed this yarn for Carole… you know her. Carole Knits, Carole.
Eye Candy goddess Carole.
Yeah, her. With the inspiring pictures every Friday that make me want to dye more yarn.
She finished these very lovely socks out of her Daffodils colorway. They have gotten such a great response that I put 15 special orders of this limited edition colorway up in the shop.
Get ‘em while you can!!!
I leave you with pictures of our newly planted garden…
Cowboy looks like a jedi gardener, no?
“plant you I will…”
Seriously… I am so wiped. I have not been to bed before 2 am since TUESDAY night.
I have run my poor Canadian friend into the ground with my last minute madness. She should have gotten a work visa is all I’m sayin’!
We went to DC / Alexandria, VA to drop off a huge order to Knit Happens (merino / tencel… love it) and the poor girl got to see our nation’s capital from the passenger side window of my Volkswagon Rabbit (turbo and paddle shifter) rental vehicle.
I was all like “there is the Washington Monument”… and she was all like “there is a car that you are going to hit..”
Some people I tell you!
I have been annoying Michelle with my new game for the weekend. I decided it was best to deal with my anxiety for the weekend by labeling the emotion I am feeling at the top of my lungs. For a full 24 hours I have been intermittently shouting out words like
“WORRIED!” “ANXIOUS!” “TIRED!” “ANGRY!”
Michelle has been shouting out words like
“EAR PLUGS!” “DON’T CARE!” “ZIP IT!”… how rude? right?
What is our schedule for the weekend you may ask?
Tonight, FRIDAY MAY 2:
OPEN HOUSE at the Warehouse. Starts at 4 ends around 11. Details are here.
SATURDAY, MAY 3:
8am - 1pm at the Cloverhill booth. Main barn, D2,D3
Come say hi to me and the gang!
7pm -11pm Ravelry party at the Sheraton in Columbia.
SUNDAY, MAY 4:
Aimlessly wandering the fairgrounds yelling at the top of my lungs
“COWBOY!” “GET BACK HERE!” “1 ……… 2 ……. YOU DONT WANT ME TO GET TO….. 3 !!!!!”
See you at MDSW! (or miss you at MDSW!)
WHOOOOOOOPIEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Oi vey people!!!
Can it be MDSW NOW?! I just want to fast forward to Wednesday when I pick my partner in crime up from BWI and the party starts!
I had another round of oral surgery this morning. Much more minor compared to the last round… but it still sucked. No more baby teeth for me (yes… I still had one lone ranger!)
The last of my sheep and wool roving is steaming… and all is quiet here at the warehouse. (Yes… I still had to work today… I wish I had my ja-jaminas and some codene)
I totally feel like I am in a flippin’ Judy Blume novel along with some nameless 9 year old girls I know. It is raining and pouring for me and my homies…lets just hope that the weather breaks for us (figuratively and the like).
Any astrology buffs out there? Anyone wanna take a stab at my charts? I would LOVE to see that!
Oh.. and I love you Doris Day. You made my night.
More (brighter) topics of conversation tomorrow… Like the MDSW open house/ pre party at my studio on Friday!
I have been thinking a lot about beginnings… how did this yarn thing start for me?
In my recollection… I sent out some test skeins in late 2005 to 5 folks around the country to see what they thought. They gave the thumbs up and the yarn started being produced. The name “C*EYE*BER Fiber ” stemmed from all of the input and support that the virtual web-based internet community provided (and continues to provide, I may add!)
I remember one of the things that I loved doing were “customs”. Send me your images and I send you that in yarn.
So.. fast forward a couple years. And… the fact that there are 2 of us that make C*EYE*BER Fibers now. And…we reopened the Warehouse. And we are interested in getting back to basics. So..
Welcome back the custom colorway! WOOT! You can have it your way again… any weight , any combo! Come and see…
Thanks so much for your support! We are so touched by how amazing you all are!
First off… thanks SO much to everyone for your kind and thoughtful healing vibes. We are doing well.. the cowboy is up to his normal speed (if any of you have met him that is double time!) and I am getting into the swing of things.
Dawn and I are slowly expanding our product lines. We are adding lace yarn to the site very soon. We would LOVE some lace patterns to offer with the yarn. if you have any fingering weight patterns… we would love to see them too!
Please email us if you are interested!
