What's New in the Studio

by Phoebe

It has been a few months since I gave you an update from the studio... did you guess that Father needed a new set of colored pencils to start work on the next book?  He did the artwork for Phoebe's Sweater using his old art pencils from college, which was about 20 years ago!  So Mother decided it was time for him to have a great new set of colors... I think they are very inspiring if you are the drawing sort, which I hope to be.  So the cat is out of the bag~ book #2 is in the works!

Yarn Market News

Thank you to Yarn Market News for the shout out~ and a great article about Phoebe's Sweater and what we are up to here at Slate Falls Press.  Did you see the collection of covers over the last five years?  My favorite is the yarn spaghetti and meatballs!

More Amy Butler Sewing Adventures

by Phoebe There is just something special about Amy Butler's fabric. It is so pretty you just want to look at it folded up nicely on the table. But then again, it does deserve to be sewn up into something fun and useful! One recent Saturday the dining room table became a sewing station and I watched closely as mother turned a big rectangle of fabric into a sweet cap-sleeved dress. I think it is going into the big red suitcase for TNNA, which is a needle arts market we are going to together this month. I can't wait!

~Acorn Doll Blanket~

Here is the perfect one skein project for your favorite doll.  The simple lace stitch looks like an acorn and is fairly easy to memorize after a few repeats.  Make sure to block it properly to show the stitches at their best.

Enjoy!

Woolen Treasures Knitalong Update

by Phoebe

The knitters at Woolen Treasures have been busy~ Phoebe's Sweater knit in size 2 in Cinnamon Twist and Frosted Fuchsia, a sweet gray mouse doll, a peach doll sweater, a doll sweater in Cinnamon Twist, and the beginnings of another mouse doll!  I believe there are a few others working on projects from Phoebe's Sweater who couldn't come to our knitalong... but it is fun to see all of the progress made in just a few short weeks!  Happy Knitting!

Did you notice the sweet whiskers and needle felted face on this little doll?  Cute!
