I
decided to go for it and see about selling my patterns. We will see if it is
worth it or not. I put the Oquirrh Mountain Shrug pattern for sale on Ravelry.
You can see it on my pattern page. I think I might try posting it on Craftsy
too when I have time. It really is a beautiful shrug I hope the pictures show
it off well. It is hard to tell because I am jaded with seeing it so much.

Shrug Love
I
finished the shrug and love it! I need to get a picture of it being worn but I
did make the small one so my 14-year-old niece needs to model it. I think I
will wait to publish the pattern until I can get some good picts of it being
worn. I am also toying with the idea of charging a small fee for the pattern.
It’s a big step but would be a big help finances-wise for me. Stay tuned for
better pictures and a pattern.

New Cable Pattern for Oquirrh Shrug
I didn’t like the cable
pattern after all so I changed my idea for the cable pattern and did a swatch.
And I started the shrug
I calculated two sizes and I
am knitting the smaller one because I am not sure I dyed enough yarn. I will
have to have my niece model it again I think. It is a quick knit with the bulky yarn so I will be done in no time.

Oquirrh Mountain Shrug
Here is my first sketch of a
shrug. I am thinking of an allover cable pattern which I represented by a bunch
of squiggles in my sketch.
I want to use a cable
pattern similar to this in order to mimic the great canyons of the Oquirrh
Mountains:
I will do a swatch to see if
I like the cable pattern in this bulky wool.

Turmeric dye
I bought some bare Wool of
the Andes in bulky from Knit Picks and dyed it with Turmeric. Look how beautiful!
I think I want to make a
shrug that can be worn over another sweater and coat. Something that will keep
me warm when I go out to sketch in the Oquirrh Mountains again. I enjoyed the
simplicity of the tube hood I made for the West Desert, and I think a tube
shrug will show off a complicated cable pattern that I have in my head. So
another tube it is. Maybe someday I will branch out of the tube.
