FO Friday 110

I am SOOOO sorry! I scheduled to post this today, but I forgot to set the time for 12am!!!!!! It was schedule to post at 10:30pm, when I wrote it!


Hi everyone! Happy Friday. I don't have a FO this week unfortunately. :( I hope to next week if I get more time to knit. I do have some fun news though! Candy Skein is now on Facebook! Be sure to 'like' Candy Skein here to get updates, news, exclusive contests and more!! I'm really excited to finally being able to offer a fun and easy way to deliver Candy Skein news (well, other than the Ravelry group and this blog!)

Since I don't have a FO, I feel like I need to leave you with some kind of picture, so here is a sneak peak of my studio that I shared on Instagram and Facebook today! As mentioned, I'll be posting pictures of the before, after and in between pictures soon here on the blog! There is a lot more work to do to make it completely set, but I'm soo excited. As you read this (after 8am PT at least) I'll be dancing on the floors for the first time as I do a happy dance while moving in all my stuff to start working! Despite it not being 100% finished, it's kind of fitting I get to move into the space on FO Friday, isn't it??!! Let the dyeing begin!!!!!

Work in Progress Wednesday 116

Hi everyone!!! I hope you had a great weekend and are having an even greater week. I've been busy with electrians, plumbers and my family in town to help build out Candy Skein studios. I will have a bunch of pictures (which you can see on Instagram right now...username Candyskein) in a post coming up in the Life as an Indie Dyer series soon!

As a sneak peak, I thought I would share this picture, which is the outside of the studio. It's a separate bungalow on my new property, steps away from my laundry/mud room and master bedroom. A beautiful courtyard separates everything. It only shares one wall, which is the garage.

The inside was a little rough when we bought the house, but wait until you see it finished! Stay tuned for pictures of the whole process.


Now on to what you've been waiting for. As mentioned, I haven't had much time to knit recently, but I figured I'd share this picture with you anyway. :) This is the Quaker Ridge Shawlette and I'm using Madelinetosh Tosh Sock in Worn Denim. I've done the set up and two full repeats. For those wondering, I did end up ripping out the shawl and starting over because of that extra stitch. I wasn't very far along, and I think it would have always bugged me.

For those that are new to WIPW, to share your WIPW post with us, just fill out the Mr. Linky below. Despite it saying you must comment, don't feel as if you do. That is something Mr. Linky automatically adds. I just ask you to check out a few of the links posted to see what everyone else is working on and comment there if you can. Everyone loves feedback and a little encouragement on their projects! Also, please link back to this post in your post to get the word out! The more the merrier!

FO Friday 109

Oh my! I almost forgot FO Friday as I'm posting this after midnight! I have a ton to share with you, hopefully next week, as we started the construction on the inside (and roof) of the new Candy Skein Studios. I'll have tons of pictures next week, I promise! If you have an Instagram account, follow me at username Candy Skein to see pictures now! I'm taking pictures as we go in the process, as I want it every step of the way!

Have a great weekend!

Share your FOs!
