Warping in the warm summer breeze....

I went over to Shelley's a couple of days ago and there she was ~ barefoot and blissed-out, in her front yard, wrapping some strands of heather green yarn around her warping mill.  She looked calm and happy, doing what she does best -- anything with fibre!
And this is what she saw when she lifted her eyes from the wool. Hard to see it from this photo but the ocean was in her view, and it was lovely, as was the weather ~ sweet and summery.

Cotton Stretch

We posted about the store's Cotton Stretch yarns on the website this week, and it got me to thinking about the last of a skein I have hanging around, left over from my socks.

To me, the stretch of this yarn lends itself perfectly to a headband. I'm just playing around with stitches and needle size, thinking I'll graft it at the ends.

I definitely love this yarn (Patons Stretch Sock in kelp colourway) for the slight stretch on it, and it should be perfect for a headband, so I'll keep you posted how this turns out.
