Meet Rosie

Meet Rosie, so named for the beautiful color of the yarn she is knit with.  Of course it's my favorite for bear-making - Lobster Pot Worsted.  She is the second bear I have made with my new knitted bear design, though I reworked her feet and muzzle a bit since I was not entirely happy with those on Adelaide.  (Psst - don't tell Adelaide.  I don't want her to get a complex.)  Rosie is five-way jointed and is wearing a lovely knitted sundress made with another Sanguine Gryphon yarn  They have the most gorgeous colors and all their yarns are hand-painted.  I have one more bear in the works right now, but have to fill some scarf orders too, so the next bear will be a while in coming.  I will post finished scarfs as they come off my needles.

Brand new knitted teddy bear design

I can't believe how long it's been since I've written anything.  But as you can see, I have been very busy knitting lots of scarves and now this brand new teddy bear design.  It has taken many, many weeks to come up with a bear I really liked, so here is Adelaide.  She is 6" standing, fully jointed and wearing a knitted jacket designed just for her.  She's made with Lobster Pot Worsted, a fabulous, hand-dyed yarn that comes is beautiful, soft colors.  Her jacket is knit with hand painted yarn from a company I get lots of my yarns from:  The Sanguine Gryphon.  They have the most wonderful yarns in amazing colors, so any of you who are knitters, I suggest you check out their website.  You won't be sorry, and I hope you won't be sorry with Adelaide.

October already!

I can't believe it's already October tomorrow, and my last post was in August!  The time is just getting away from me.  I am very busy working on the samples for my 2011 line.  I know, I know, it's very early, but I am determined to have at least a dozen samples for my clients to choose from, and I need to have my orders in place by the end of April in order to guarantee delivery by October.  Speaking of which,  this year's scarves will be in Abigail Rose by Friday of next week (10/8).   If you are not near Piermont, New York and would like a scarf, I am sure they will ship it to you, so give them a call at 845.359.4649.   I am also thrilled to tell you that I have a brand new client:  Angelica's Muse - a wonderful ladies' boutique on Market Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  They will have a few of the 2010 scarves, and hopefully expand their inventory next year.  Portsmouth is a great little city, with lots of nice shops and things to do, so if you are in the area, stop into Angelica's Muse.  Finally, I have been filling orders for my little knitted mice, which I have not made in a while, and am now having so much fun knitting them again.  I'm going to show you one of the gentlemen to give you an idea of what they look like.  They are 3-1/2" tall and just so cute, all dressed up in their outfits.

A Unique Opportunity

This is the Luxurious Ruffles scarf, so named because it is knit with a combination of super soft merino, cashmere and a new yarn made from sugar cane.  It is so soft and has a wonderful drape to it.  When worn, it frames your face with luxuriously rich ruffles.  The sugar cane yarn gives it a bit of shine, which you may see a bit better in the close-up photo below.  Photographs can never truly show how a hand knitted garment really feels, wears and how beautifully it is made.


Now for the unique opportunity.  As I wrote in a previous post, my scarves are available exclusively at a wonderful ladies' boutique in Piermont, New York called Abigail Rose and Lily Too.  I realize that makes them unaccessible for many people, therefore I am prepared to take a limited number of custom special orders from today until the end of October.  I will guarantee delivery in time for Christmas.  You may have the scarf(s) of your choice knit to your specifications and color choice, so if you are interested, please contact me at meandewe@verizon.net

Back after a LONG silence

I know, I know.  You must have thought that either something terrible happened or that I just dropped out of sight and stopped knitting.  No such luck!  A few ghastly things did happen which took away so much of my time that I barely had enough to keep knitting my scarves and filling orders, but now I am back, full steam, and hope to be more faithful about blogging.


I also want to tell you that I just started a Facebook page and opened a Twitter account, so you can join me on either of those places and keep up to date with my posts and other things going on at Me & Ewe.

Diagonal Triangles Scarf

This is one of my absolute favorite scarves.  It is such fun to knit and I just love the colors.  The yarn is a blend of silk (45%), lambswool and mohair, but it feels nice and soft on the skin.  I made it narrow and very long so that is can be wrapped fully twice around the neck with scarf to spare.  The Diagonal Triangles Scarf will definitely keep you warm while looking stylish and unique.  I hope you like it.

Glitter Lace Scarf

I am so happy to be showing you my second scarf for the 2010 season - the Glitter Lace scarf.  This beauty is knit with a gorgeous rayon metallic yarn.  The photographs really do not do the colors justice.  They are soft, muted grayish blue and a rose clay-like color with copper metallic thread running throughout.  This is a super soft, drapey scarf that is long enough to wrap around the neck and have a length on either side, or simply hang it around your neck and let it sparkle and catch the light.
