Summer Knitting

This happens every year.  Wool is and always will be my favorite sport, but it gets hard to keep the passion alive in the warmer months.  No one wants to hold their favorite yarn with sweaty hands.  No one wants a blanket draped over them in the middle of August.

Every year I find new things to make for warm weather.  This year I've gotten on a bit of a headband jag.  Yes, it's February.  Yes, it's still cold.  I am thinking ahead for once and creating my summer inventory now so I don't have to knit while it's too hot to look at any wool.

I like these little guys.  They're soft, they go with everything, and they have a little vintage look to them.  

I've also been working on some more cross stitch projects.  I've just finished some more naughty ones, head over to my Facebook Page to have a look at those.  

I wanted to find a way to combine my love of reading with my love of crafts, and I finally found it. Coming soon to the shop are my bookmarks!

I've started with making First Line bookmarks.  Of course, in true Llama fashion, there will eventually be profane ones.  But this is a strong start.  

First lines of novels are a drug to bibliophiles.  They invoke memories and emotions of the story from which they came.  Taking a piece of your favorite character, your favorite universe, or your favorite plot with you into your next literary journey has a comfort all it's own. 

Any suggestions/requests for your favorite first line?  Let me know here!
