Wonderful Ewe Time at the SCV Fine Crafts Show

June 14, 2010
Thank you to all the wonderful Lovely Ewe customers who stopped by our booth at the SCV Fine Crafts Show.  We had a great time with lots of new, fun items.  I'd especially like to thank Cliff Robertson, Marilyn Moss and Bob Lade, who helped to make our weekend a great success!  Here are a couple of booth pictures:





It seems that the shrugs and capelets caught everyone's eye, so I'll be making more of those for the next show, and they will be on sale on the website, too.  In the next few weeks, I'll be adding all the new items that are still available to the website, so if you missed the show, you can still buy soe beautiful Lovely Ewe items.

So, what's new on the horizon?  Well, I've never tried Fair Isle knitting, which looks really beautiful.  So, I'll be finding some new patterns to try out and they will be available in time for Holiday shopping.  I'm also interested in Intarsia knitting, or picture knitting, where a picture is knitted into the garment.  I'll also be crocheting more blankets in time for Holiday shopping.  Looking forward to exporing new worlds of crafting.  Hope you'll drop by the site and check them out as they're posted.

FYI, I am looking into vending at Castaic Days in September.  It's a fun celebration at Lake Castaic with all kinds of vendors and activities.  To find out more about Castaic Days, check out this link  http://castaicdays.com/?page_id=2.
 

Something New in Ewe

March 30, 2010
I've been so busy working on new projects in preparation for the SCV Fine Crafts Show in June at Old Orchard Park in Newhall.  I'm hoping to get pictures of all these great new items on the website soon.  I've also decided to create a new page on the website for knitter where I will be selling patterns I've designed for downloading to your computer. 

Besides creating lovely new items, I also teach knitting and crocheting.  If you'd like to learn to make your own one-of-a-kind hand knit or cro...

Changes in Ewe

November 17, 2009
Lovely Ewe has sold a lot of one-of-a-kind, handmade items this year and has added quite a few, too.  Unfortunately, we haven't been very good at keeping the website up-to-date.  So, we're overhauling the Lovely Ewe site and making some changes, too.

If you are interested in purchasing an item, there will be no link for a while.  We ask that you email us at robertsonclan91350@sbcglobal.net to let us know what you'd like to purchase.  We will send you a Paypal invoice, and once that is paid, we...

Where have Ewe been???

August 15, 2009
Alas, my blogging is as bad as my journal writing -  forgotten all too often.  It was a very busy summer with the kids and I've also been busy working on new items and participating with a couple of new knitting groups.  Lately I've mostly been sewing;  I am starting a new line of "design your own" purses.  I am in the process of making several different styles in different fabrics.  My new "purse/bag" website will be www.mommasnewbag.com, or Momma's New Bag.  A customer can go to the website...

What's New with Ewe

May 1, 2009
I've completed two scarf/shawls and three hats.  One of my kids took one of the hats, but I will be posting the other two soon, and the scarf/shawls.  What's a scarf/shawl you ask?  It's a very long, very wide scarf that can double as a shoulder wrap.  I should have them posted on the site next week.

Currently, I am working on a beautiful sweater that was special ordered for Mother's Day.  I will have pictures of the sweater posted on www.ravelry.com, my name of ravelry is Uniquely Ewe.  I'll ...

Moderne Jacket is finished!

April 1, 2009
In my last blog I mention the crochet along I got involved with on www.ravelry.com and www.lionsbrand.com .  Well, the jacket is finished and looks great.  I used a beautiful yarn by Nashua Handknits called "Ivy" in a blue teal.  It's an alpaca/merino blend and has small silver threads throughout.  I used some fancy silver buttons on the jacket to dress it up a bit.  The sleeves are 3/4 length and the jacket is hip length.  I made it in a size Medium and Gwynn modeled it for the website.  The...

What's new on the horizon?

March 20, 2009
I'm really excited because I just joined my first Crochet Along with Lion Brand Yarn.  Lion Brand introduced the CAL in the beginning of the month on their website, www.lionbrand.com , and being the slow poke that I am, I just got on board yesterday.  We are crocheting a jacket with midlength sleeves, called the "Moderne Jacket"  The pattern calls for two kinds of Lions Brand yarn:  Wool-Ease and Cashmere Blend.  Never the one to go along with the crowd, I rummaged through my huge stash of ya...

Hello, Dolly!!

March 17, 2009

Even though I have the best people to model my homemade fashions (friends and family) there are times when I need a model that can always be there when I need her.  I recently purchased a dress form manikin than can change sizes faster than a Biggest Loser contestant.  I named her “Dolly”, and she goes from a size Medium to a Large, the sizes of average women.  I will still try to use live models when I can, but I get my items online faster with Dolly.  Please remember that everyone is sh...

Hello, Everyone!  I'm still knitting and crocheting away on new projects.  I've just finished a beautiful entrelac shrug made with hand dyed chenille and a merino and cashmere blend.  It's super soft and just beautiful.  I just need to get a model for my pictures and get it posted.  I also should be posting more of my jewelry, including more necklaces, earrings and bracelets.

I also just added a new section to the blog page for all of you who knit or crochet, or those who want to start.  It's ...
