Life LDC loves a little Glamour!

I wanted to try out Rowan's Kidsilk Haze Glamour!
looked around for something quick and easy, with a bit of Glamour and Drama!

Trying to channel Kim Novak in "Bell Book and Candle" 
and take a photo of these wrist warmers in the same style
as the pattern photo... as I have no chocolate bunnies, Daisy stepped up!

Then Lackie wanted in on the act!  Bedlam ensued....

Life LDC Glamour Wristees!

Pattern:  white rabbit wrist-ees, by Tiny Owl Knits!

Yarns:  Kidsilk Haze Glamour - shade 285 Smoke and Kidsilk Haze - a black shade from my leftovers!

This adorable pattern was just the thing I needed to try out Rowan's Kidsilk Glamour yarn.  I did think of making the wristlets in solid Glamour, but the stripes were irresistible!  Out came my box of Kidsilk Haze leftovers, and after a bit of this and that - it had to be Black, for a bit of Drama!

To give the shot of Glamour to this version of Kidsilk Haze, a fine nylon thread is added with quite tiny polyester sequins. Yes, it does change the feel of this yarn - it's not as soft as Kidsilk Haze - how could it be - it has sequins!

So if you want to put a bit of glamour in your life.....check out Rowan's Kidsilk Haze Glamour!

Rowan Kidsilk Glamour yarn
and "The Glamour Collection"

long-time favourite Kidsilk Haze with a little Glamour added!

Comes in 8 gorgeous sparkly shades!  You can mix and match with
the Kidsilk Haze solid shades or pair them up with another fine yarn,
like Fine Lace (hmmm, that might need swatching!).

 Think of the possibilities!

It's always good to celebrate the everyday things with a little glamour in your life -
today is my Birthday....yes I'm a Taurus!

Rowan's Kidsilk Haze Glamour!  I love these wrist warmers!

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor...
