Motion Monday

What's in the works here at the Dapple Apple?  That is a great question! 
I have been working on some great new yarn projects, and I have some interesting jewelry ideas that are still taking form in my head...

Today, I hope to finish this:

It is a shawl for one of my precious and adorable nieces!  It has just the right amount frill to twirl when she spins, yet is thick enough to keep her warm during the long, cold Michigan winter. I really hope that she likes it.

Also, I am working on my newest project for me, which I am experimenting with alot and trying some new and strange stitches. This is going to be my Order of the Phoenix shawl.

 

Fading from golden yellow to orange to red, it reminds me of Fawkes, and will go great with my Halloween costume and be a great thing to wear on the night of November 18th! (I know this is a major geek moment, but I am embracing it.)

And this project is a simple set of pot holders for an older gentleman I know from the coffee shop who is always kind (albeit a bit ornery).

He always asks, "Honey, when are you going to make me some of those fancy holders?" So the answer is... Today.

Well, that is all I have to share with you about current projects.
Coming up next week you will hopefully get to see my new work apron and patterns for my first Dapple Apple craft show apron!
May God bless you with peace and love and joy!
Until tomorrow...
