It’s A Wrap
https://sskandco.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/its-a-wrap
It’s A Wrap. It’s A Wrap. I don’t know what has come over me. Is it the new Madelintosh “Dandelion” (shown above) and “Pashmina” yarn I just acquired? Or is it all of the great wrap and shawl patterns out there these days? Upper left: Exploration Station. By Stephen West; Upper right: Drachenfels. By Melanie Berg; Lower left: Tubularity.

https://sskandco.wordpress.com/about
Hi, my name is Shannon Yeaton. I live in the great Ohio Valley in Southern Indiana where I love to surround myself with a lot of color and texture namely in the form of yarn and fabric of which I like to knit and/or sew. I must. Have a cup of green tea every day, snuggle with my cat and hug my kids. I also like to walk and enjoy nature and have a plethora of books around me at all times.

My Knitting Bucket List
https://sskandco.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/my-knitting-bucket-list
My Knitting Bucket List. My Knitting Bucket List. I think we knitters need a bucket list of knitting patterns we would like to accomplish sometime in our lives! Don’t you agree? This list could get pretty long, right? So I will try to be discriminate and weed through the many. Designs in my Ravelry library. And list them here for you to compare, to inspire and to challenge. I will keep the list fairly short, say to maybe 10 designs? 8220;Coda” by Olga Buraya-Kefelian. 8220;Ashby” by Leila Raabe. Here is ...

a journey into dyeing
https://sskandco.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/a-journey-into-dyeing
A journey into dyeing. A journey into dyeing. How do you like my somewhat crude setup? Hey it works, and we are having California weather right now where I live! So nice, not sure what I will do however when winter comes. But delving into natural yarn dyeing I am. In my dye pot: a skein of 75% wool, 25% nylon fingering weight in a cochineal bath. It looks like it would come out a dark purple right? I am really happy with the color and on my first try! Some of these flowers could be possible dyestuff....
