Stole Finished and New Socks

I finished my stole design for Donna Druchunas' new book to be released next year. I used Jamieson & Smith 2 Ply Jumper yarn - this was my first time using it and I really like how it knitted up. I won't show the complete stole until the book is released but here is a peek:

I also have a new sock pattern available on the Goddess Knits website, called Airmid - she is the Goddess of herbs and healing.

Mystery Shawl 6 Set to Begin

I am now officially taking orders for the next Mystery Shawl set to begin on Saturday, December 1, 2007. Please visit my website Goddess Knits to place your order. Remember you will also need to join the Yahoo group in order to access the pattern files.

This will be the last Mystery Shawl for 2007. Next year will be a new year and there will be some changes and I hope everyone will be happy with them.

On a Lighter Note...

The Mystery Shawl 5 went very well. I love seeing all the photos of finished shawls in the different yarns - they are all gorgeous! I'm still amazed, when I see them, that I actually designed them.

Mystery Shawl 6 will begin, most likely, sometime in December. It will be a triangular shawl with a winter/snow theme. I will put more info on the website when the time is closer.

Plus I have other things going on - working on the Sockdown Ravelry and joined the SSEC 'cause I keep accumulating sock yarn! I'll be offering a prize there too! Also working on a design for a book coming out next year.

Can't wait for the snow to be here, it makes me feel better! You know Seasonal Affective Disorder - I have it in the Summer. Maybe that's my problem LOL. I know it's supposed to be Fall but it sure doesn't seem like it.

MS5

With Mystery Shawl 5 coming to a close, I'm thinking about Mystery Shawl 6. This will the the last Mystery for the year. Also, Halloween Mystery Shawl will be closing to new members soon so it's not too late to sign up. The last clue will be posted this Saturday.

Next year is a whole new year and the Mysteries will continue but I will be doing things differently. More info to come when I have it all figured out.

Ravelry

I finally got my invite to Ravelry about a week ago and I'm impressed so far. The way you can link everything together and see who's working on what project. I like how I can see which of my patterns are someone's favorite or see photos of WIPs. And the group thing - I keep finding ones that I like so I'm in like 25 groups. Is it possible to be in too many? Anyway, I think this is a great community project.

Website Now Back Up

The Goddess Knits website is now back up and can be accessed through http://www.bopeepswoolshop.com or http://www.goddessknits.com.

Website Down

For anyone trying to access the Goddess Knits website - the site is temporarily down (which is also why this page looks like it does, all my images are on that server) because the server is being updated. The site should be back up by Tuesday afternoon. Thanks for your patience.

Another Mystery

The Halloween Shawl sign ups are now being accepted on the Goddess Knits website. All of the information on yarn, needles, etc is available there as well. If you are concerned about the finished shawl being obviously Halloween-related, rest assured that the lace design itself is just a "regular" design. The only element, besides the name, that would be obvious is optional.

Visit the Goddess Knits website to order.

Two New Patterns Available

Two new shawl patterns now available from Goddess Knits - a multicolor circular shawl and an easy mohair lace shawl. Plus all sock patterns have been updated to the new pattern format. Visit the website now to order.

An Autumn Mystery

Sign-ups are now being taken for the next Mystery Shawl to begin on Saturday, September 15. There is a slight price increase, due to the extensive amount of time that it takes to get the files ready and manage the group, but it is still less than a regular pattern on my website.

There is an Autumn theme to this shawl so any "fall" colors will work for this - reds, oranges, golds, dark greens, browns; or any handpainted yarn with a mixture of any of these colors. More information is listed on the website.

Please make sure that you provide your Yahoo ID when you order so I know who has paid when I go over the member list. Some of you have different email addresses for your Yahoo ID than what you use when you order and sometimes it's difficult to figure out who you are.

If you are not already in the group you will need to join to be added and please remember that you will not be added until the day of the first clue.

Visit Goddess Knits to sign up.
