Custom Rags

I remember when I was very young and starting to crochet, my Barbie had many Wilma Flintstone style dresses – of my own design. My older brother used to laugh at them and call them Diane’s custom rags. At the time, it really hurt my feelings; although he had a great sense of humor and I know he was just trying to tease me.

Many, many moons later, I am still cranking out the custom rags. Fiber arts is second nature to me, and  I am as passionate about my art as cooking and eating. If I go too long without a project, I get antsy, and nothing seems quite right in life.

I like my creations a lot better then back then.  I can even read and write patterns now.

Now that I have been knitting for over a year, I am getting some of my favorite hand spun stash out and finding projects that really match.  I found the perfect one for my Spanish Moss yarn: Boutique Knits Soft Kid Bubble.  What a beautiful pattern.  This will be my first attempt at a fine knitted project with my hand spun.

I already started:
