a knitter lives here
yarn has made it's way into my decorating plans. i bought this yarn solely as a decor item. i think it personalizes my space a bit!
now i just haven't been using yarn for props, i have actually knit with it as well. this past weekend was knotty knitters and i got to work on some holiday knits (ohh sorry, can't show them yet!). it was a lot of fun. this time it was hosted by angie and carry of fairie knits. here she is working on one of her many projects. This may even be the debut shot of her NBT (nothing but a t-shirt from knitty)??
sorry for the grainy pics, i think my digital cam might be on it's last legs. it has been producing blurry shots these days and my photoshop skills aren't what they used to be.
here is katherine, i have mentioned her before i believe. she has been knitting for a very long time. she is amazing at it. she is actually the one that helped me when i first started. she is a regular at our meetings too.
i had done 3 pattern repeats of the vintage velvet from scarf style (in alpaca silk, similar to the one i did before, but not the nice debbie bliss yarn). at lunch today i frogged it. too similar to the one i had done. plus i really want to make it someday in the touch me and figured i would probably be burnt out on the pattern if i did it again now.
anyhoo, here is a quick peek at my new yarn dresser. i put my old shabby chic furniture to good use in my craft room/office.
if you notice the missing image icon on some of my older posts, i am in the process of updating my blog entries to use the photos hosted on this domain. i apologize for the unpleasantness. :)

I like the "yarn as art". I think I may have to steal your idea.

I am totally loving the yarn dresser!!!
Very nice yarn dresser. I've got one too, but yours looks much more nicely organized.
What a great idea to store all your yarn in an old dresser. Now it's so much more than just a dresser. Add yarn to anything and it becomes something else, and in my opinion, something better!
BROWN & BLUE! i should have guessed!
excellent choice!
I love that dresser! Beautiful! :)
