Toe Up 2-at-a-Time Socks - 6 hours
Taught by Melissa herself right here in Yorktown, VA.!



What could be better than socks knitted 2-at-a-Time?
Why 2-at-a-Time socks knitted from the
toes to the top, of course! Now there’s no “second sock syndrome”, and you can build your socks
from the toes up – no yarn shortage surprises, you can make a cuff shorter if need be! Under the
tuition of the creator of this novel knitting method, students will create their own miniature
sample socks using the technique outlines in the book
Toe Up 2-at-a-Time Socks.

Sedalia Fiber Festival

I was a vendlor at the Sedalia Fiber Festival. What follows are random thoughts:

Wonderful fibers, great colors, but what happened to worsted weight yarn? Patterns still call for them.

Great support for raffle items. Lots of chances to win great yarn, a spinning wheel, etc.

Traffic was less than desireable. With the yarn available, more should attend. Understandably, the venue is out of the way, but perhaps the VA community could help support this great event.

Charity Knitting at the Beach

Feeling rather smug, but thankful for my vacation at the Outer Banks, NC. Decided to charity knit this week in thankfulness for my good fortune. You know, knit on the beach....So far, 12 preemie caps & one chemo cap for a neighbor with ovarian cancer. I indulged at the LYS for patterns & yarn for a caplet & shrug (a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!). I love supporting the LYS. Hope this blog inspires VA interchange of ideas.

RT&OF

A reminder for those of you that may be unaware...June 6 is the third annual Rustic Tarts & Old Farts Hoot 'n Holler in Martinsburg, WV. If you'd like to attend, please email me at Diana (at) TLCPhotography (dot) com. I'll send you an invite to our group on Yahoo, where you may learn all the details!

What's this?

I started working on this project Friday evening. I worked Saturday and Sunday too. Any idea what it's for? I'll give one hint: Sedalia Spring Fiber Fest. I needed it because I am going to Sedalia for Saturday's festival.

The photo above was taken Saturday.This photo is the almost finished project.

Like I needed another reason to knit...!

I got sucked into the Harry Potter Knit & Crochet House Cup on Ravelry... have any of the rest of you joined that particular bit of insanity?

Earrings and pretty things for Mother's Day

Look for my tent on Saturday, May 8 at the Strawberry Street Festival in the Fan, on Hanover Avenue. I will be in spot #38, TG Designs, LLC. This will be a great time to pick up gifts for Mothers Day.

The Sarah Collections - these square bright transparent studs were originally created for my best friend Sarah.

The earrings featured on the right side are called Fire in Ice. Once you put them on they throw out firey colors which are different with everything you wear. There are pendants to match. These are also a favorite of brides.

Yes, we make clips too!

We take Master Card and Visa.
