Once again it's been a crazy few weeks! No sooner had I gotten my studio operational then I had decided to throw myself head first into a really involved art project. And a few special crochet projects as well. But more on that later. Apart from being a crocheter I am also a multi-media artist. So if you interested in seeing how I work you should definitely check out what I've been doing on here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q8mqOOXyz8 Anyways...about a week ago my mom mentioned that she had a yarn coupon for Michaels. Dangerous thing to say to a yarnaholic such as myself! So off I went to find me some yarn to pet, I mean work with. Because, you know, you can never have too much yarn. So I ended up buying something I usually wouldn't have thought to work with. I had no idea that Isaac Mizrahi did yarn. But there it was, featured on an end cap in the store. I was drawn in by the beautiful and shiny colors. Obviously! But upon picking it up, realized it was extremely soft as well. So of course I took it home with me. xD Even with the coupon this yarn can get a bit pricey, (especially for large projects) so I only got 3 skeins. And since it is a super bulky yarn there wasn't really much yardage to be had either. But who cares. It was pretty. The great thing about bulky yarn though, is that you can make a small project with it very quickly. I was able to create this fun ensemble in only a few days. So yeah, I would recommend this yarn to anyone. If you're a beginner crocheter this would be some very nice yarn to use because it is super easy to work with. Especially if you're using a super large hook. I used a size K and that worked well for me.

My Studio is finally finished! Well....sort of. There are a lot of finishing touches that I still need to do but I know will take me months. But it's mostly aesthetic. Otherwise my room is fully operational! Woohoo! Since I'm limited on space, and have a LOT of interests besides crochet, it is not your typical studio. But I've never been a typical person either! As you can see, I'm already happily enjoying my new crochet space. Though you can't even see the crochet wall in this picture. I promise it is there!
