I'm not saying that running a shop
doesn't keep me super busy, but I somehow find time to be a sometimes hand dyer
as well. I've been occupied creating a vibrant line of hand dyes
deemed 'Ginger's Hand Dyes.' It must be said that I really look
forward to naming the colour ways. This is one of my new favourites:
Gorblimey. This word stems from the ol' British way of saying, 'God
blind me.' Hence, Gorblimey.
Now for some project talk. August has
flown by, and Lucy Hague's status as Designer of the Month in Ginger
Twist Studio HQ is coming to a close. This being said, I still can't
get enough of her lovely lace and cables. I've just started my very
own Averin in candy floss coloured kid mohair (Marta's Yarns). I just
have the nicest image of me spending the Winter months knitting up a
storm in the shop, whilst wrapped in this pink cloud.
I'm also embarking upon some wristees
knit out of something very special and soon to be featured in the
shop: Ginger Twist Hand Spun. Check out this kitty-tastic
shade. AND it's sooooooooooo squishy!
PS: I've just received September's wool
of the of the month, with much squealing and excitement. All will be
revealed soon my kitties.
Don't mean to be a party-pooper, but gorblimey is cockney and def not Scottish! But love the colour anyway...
ReplyDeleteAch Mrs. Ferret, I stand corrected.
