little angel

Sometimes you just have to fine a right yarn for a right project, only happens when the right moment appears.
I bought this yarn at  The Loopy Ewe yarn store in CO last year. I love that store. It has lot brands yarn. I had very hard time select yarn, because I like them all 。

one of the yarn I got , few days ago I finally found a right project to go with.

60% baby alpaca 40 pima cotton. It is very soft and bright color.

I knitted this top for my daughter Jade. I use needle US 5 3,75mm., size 12 in pattern.
It turned out very nice, the yarn fell soft with a very bright color. The style very lacy and girly, even thought it looks live little bit big on her , but with this unique style, it still looks pefect pretty.  Jade loves it very much.

This is a super fast project. I made for Jade. she loves it .
I got this pretty yarn from Nebraska yarn barn, when we visited a yarn shop with my fiber friends group. it only has 3 balls left. I got them all, This top is still short little bit yarn. so I added fringes and also made front shorter than back . It turns out even more pretty.

A colorfully sheep

I have always wanted try to do this, then I did. The results I really like it.
I used whatever I had on hand. the fiber the yarn and beads. the fiber i have dyed long time ago, it hasn't spun to yarn yet. someday....

 I dyed the color all  I like and comb them very well. Maybe someday will turn to some yarn.

 pull out some fiber gently then glue onto canvas .

 then use small needle comb them well. It looks much nicer.

 then I found some yarn go with the color very well and also added some beads. The sheep looks not bad at all.
