Whew! I worked like crazy and got up two web pages about my ColorJoy Handpaints, in time for the midnight deadline on Socknitters. I have enough Handpainted fibers (yarn, rovings and silk scarves) for another page or two, so I will keep on plugging today and tomorrow to get those items up on the web.

I am set up basically to do art yarns, all one of a kind. I work alone and do my best to find great yarns to paint as they appear to me. Therefore, it is an eclectic mix, fun and fresh, and with no guarantee items will re-appear. This method keeps me interested (I remember trying to do production polymer clay Art Kazoos and it got old fast). I am hoping it works for others as well.

I am proud that my yarns do not pool when knitting. I work hard to apply dye in such a way that the colors do not make big blotches when you knit. It takes a lot longer to do this, but this is how I want yarns I buy to be dyed! I love Koigu because they basically do not pool, and as much as I love the feel of the Lorna’s Laces yarns, I just struggle to knit them in such a way that I enjoy how the colors display.

Wowie, I’m tired! (Three posts in one day, as well, whew!) See you tomorrow.
