A new beginning


And another one begins....another barn that is.  This one is another commission and I'm rather excited about it because it's in fall colours, different from any I've done up until this point.  I've been wanting to try this colour scheme so now I have a good excuse.  

This is the photo I'm working from...





and this is how far I've gotten...




Today's quote..."No response IS a response, and it's a powerful one"

  2. I checked the link for sock yarn (no surprise there) and discovered something awesome: Julia Mueller (who designed the Knotty Gloves pattern which has been in my Ravelry library for years) has made ALL her patterns available on Rav for FREE! I just downloaded about a dozen glove patterns. Thought I'd mention it here, in case anyone else would be interested/thrilled :)
    Thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole!

  3. Hello it's been a while sorry! It wasn't that no response was a response or anything like that haha.
    Good to see you are barn-ing away still :)
    Have a lovely day

  6. Love the colours of fabric for this barn, and it’s looking great!
    Great links! Love those boot toppers ..... doubt I’d ever knit them, but can’t help loving them!
    And those tabs ..... oooh, just sooooo cute!

  8. Seeing as you are Canadian and I am a Kiwi can I hazard that the quote for today made me think of Mr T and Mr John McCain. Smiles. Have a great day!
