I stopped into Eddie’s Quilting Bee the other day to check it out, since I had been walking past on my way to the library all summer, looking at the “Coming Soon” sign…
I might have walked away with a pattern (and some fabric)…
or two (and some more fabric)…
The exterior of the downtown purse…

In preparation for the CA Wool & Fiber Festival, I dyed a bunch of fiber, which I’ll be posting about and adding to the store sometime soon. I also dyed some linen yarn, and designed a pattern for it. The yarn is called Fiber Fiend Linen and the pattern is called the Practice Stole Hand Towel! The towel is knit like a stole, starting with one edging, then picking up stitches for the body, then finishing with the second edging. It’s perfect for someone who isn’t quite ready to knit a stole, but wants to practice knitting some lace. It’s also a great gift. In order to make a stole, you could just widen and lengthen the towel.
Here it is in its native environment…
Hanging on a chair…
A detail…
Here are some pictures of the Roberts Creek colorway used in the sample Practice Stole Hand Towel.
And here is the Stormy Weather colorway.

Buy the yarn here! There will be many more colors coming soon!

I started crocheting this bag on the Bobaknit Retreat, teaching myself how to crochet, before I started Grover… I stopped when I ran out of yarn, although I had another ball at home. The yarn is Cascade Bollicine Revolution in the S20 colorway. My sister gave me this yarn a while back. It’s what I knit my palm pilot cover out of.
The pattern is from Stitch ‘N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker. I bought circular bamboo handles for it.
