Last night was our monthly Craft Yourself Happy night at the Art Hive. It's like a Stitch'n Bitch but we wanted it to include more than just Knitters and we wanted it to sound a little less harsh.
Last night it was just the core group. Erin, Wendy, Suzanne, Kim and myself. Suzanne and I were spinning on drop spindles, Wendy was on her spinning wheel, Kim was knitting and Erin was working on a wire necklace.
I enjoy these nights so much because I am only responsible for my own happiness. Sometimes at the Crafty Girls events I find myself worrying that people aren't having enough fun or liking the project or whatever but CYH is super relaxed. Kim of IndigoDragonfly Yarns always brings an enormous box of her delicious hand-dyed yarns and we fibre fiends dive right in like hungry beasts. Her colourways are gorgeous, the yarn itself is dreamy to work with and the names are awesome. I picked up three skeins last night the names of which are as follows "Vancouver Melt" (teal, turquoise and lime), "One Turtle Short of a Pond" (rich emerald green to almost black) and get this - "I'm Going to Have Abandonment Issues" (a delightful and varied mixture of purples, turquoise, gray and raspberry red)
For more of her great work and titles, I've linked Kim's blog at the left, check it out!
