Update: The flower girl is carrying lilacs, wearing her mother's pearls and little amethyst earrings...Oh my, I think I've gotten carried away. Here's my new yarn called Flower Girl

Update: Finally the groom has arrived! As soon as the best man gets here we can begin


Update:Oh no! My Bridesmaid yarn sold this morning and that left just the Blushing Bride all by herself! I'm working on the groom's yarn right now. I'd better hurry it up

I have some new yarns on my Etsy shop Blushing Bride and Bridesmaid...I'm trying to invision the Grooms Yarn...maybe black and white for a tux? Any ideas? Also lots of new posts on my blog. All looks are appreciated!

I looked in your shop and at your blog. They are very nice. I am sooo sorry for your goats. I want angora goats so badly and really all goats. When I get paid I will be back to buy some fiber anyway i want to have something made. You have a great day too.

Wow, Diana! You have some beautiful yarn! My mom is a wonderful knitter and has just begun spinning, too. She adores yarn and will love your Etsy store.

I am also so sorry about the loss of your goats. I know that really hurts. (((hugs)))

Thanks so much ladies. It is so comforting to know that other people understand how much your animals mean to you! It means I'm only half crazy :) BTW Katie, that is one of my favorite plays!

I used to have a llama to protect my sheep and goats. Past life.

I woke up on January 1st and it was 2009.
And it's been that way ever since!

Diana....I'm confused.

Can you use your "yarn" for "regular" knitting??

Scarves...hats etc.? and how much is 75-yards of yarn in skeins??

Dumb questions I know, but I am looking for an excuse to purchase your beautiful, beautiful yarn

Thanks Melody! Not a dumb question at all, because I know my yarn is a little "different"! It knits up beautifully. Here's a pic of some of the mohair knitted into a scarf. This customer used size 17 needles, but i've knitted with size 13 (for a hat) and size 15 (for a scarf) and those turn out great. Usually 75 yards will make you a narrow scarf or a hat and 90+ yards will make you a generous scarf. There are a couple of more pics on my blog. Thanks for the inquiry!!!

Oh, and MJF girls get free shipping on their first purchase :)
