Well, it's happening once again. The leaves have begun to change, we have to start thinking about holiday shopping, the air gets a little crisper and we all gain about 10 pounds.
The first thing to come this season?
My Birthday!!
Happy 23 to me!
My official birthday isn't for another 4 days (November 8th) so ill keep you updated next week for that!
Anyway,
Mema, Poppy, Matthew and I took a trip out to Lancaster, PA and had a great time shopping and exploring the country land.
Take a look:

We also did some shopping (of course!) Which led me to this little shop named Labadie Looms, owned by a very kind woman who spins, weaves, and dyes different types of materials.
Naturally, I was interested.
She spoke with me about how she dyes her materials, what she has in stock, classes she taught, etc. She is a handmade artist just as I am and I was inspired to see that she followed her passion in this and is doing what she loves to make a living and teaching others about it along the way.
Of course, I had to buy something from her.
I had been dying to try these arm knit blankets ever since last season and I just couldn't find the material I liked, until now!!
I bought 4 rolls of Brown Sheep Company Hand Painted Roving Rambouillet/ Columbia Cross. Approx 8 oz.
With this, I tore each roll in half, giving me 8 rolls, instead of 4.
I wish I had bought more to make a bigger blanket but she only had 4 rolls in each color so I took my chances due to the one I picked being tye dye, I didn't want the colors to mesh weird. With that said, it came out as a good side lap blanket, but not nearly as big as I wanted it. It was super cozy, comfy, warm and chunky though! Just as I had hoped!
Take a look at what I was able to make:
