SD's in da'house. actually, just the rough draft all marked up with what needs to be changed, added, removed...etc. also, Madder's website should be up and running in the next month - no joke this time. for real!
the top swatch is for a new project i'm starting for Classic Elite

i love looking at old knitting magazines for inspiration. so much fun.
i've sent off SD's rough draft to the printers, which is exciting and relieving a lot of pressure. i'll feel like a million bucks when i finish this first issue!

I love working with Bamboo. I have a couple projects in the line-up right now using the silky-feeling fiber. This is another yarn by Classic Elite. I love this orange! Although, the garment I'm swatching for will be made with Henna.
Yarn: Bam Boo

My swatch is a bit airy...I'll give size 6 a try.
