Recent finished projects

Here is my first baptismal/christening gown, made for a newborn. The most detailed, labor-intensive thing I have ever made, but lots of fun. I learned a lot from it, and can't wait to do another one! 

 This is a scarf I did for a free-for-shipping drawing at the congo. It is my own design, made of 100% wool. Six motifs joined together in a web of cream. A unique piece.

 A sock-monkey hat, custom made for a friend. She picked the colors. She wanted a pom-pom added, but I forgot to take a pic after I added it :( The pic on the left is pre-pompom. The pic on the right shows the pompom, however, and is modeled on my baby girl, Rosy.

 These next three yarns are yarns I dyed. They are 100% peruvian highland wool, and are all kettle-dyed. They are available for sale in the congo. The top one is worsted weight, in the colorway "Reflecting Water."  










The second one is fingering weight, in the colorway "Breaking Dawn."

The third one is fingering weight, in the colorway "The Roaming Gypsy."

This yarn gets big pics! It is one of my first real, usable handspun yarns. It is 151 yards of worsted/aran weight superwash merino. The fiber came from Becoming Art in the colorway "Wake Up," and was spun by me on a spindle. This yarn is also available for sale in the congo.

 This is some fiber I kettle-dyed in the colorway "Lagoon." It is 100% Peruvian highland wool. 4oz. Available for sale in the congo.

 Toddler longies for Margaret in The Yarn Gnome's "Friends Forever" colorway. Licorice Twist.

 Newborn sock-monkey hat for my good friend Jennifer's baby boy.








My customs list is now closed for the year. I am going to take this time to finish up all the orders on it, do some crocheting for me and my family and friends for the holidays, and focus more time on dying, spinning, and learning to knit. I will re-open it the beginning of the year with a special sale, and will have more things to offer. Have a safe and happy holiday season, everyone, and thanks for choosing me!  <3

Rows and Roses is now part of the Simply Serene congo on HC!

Just wanted to let everyone know that R+R is proud to be involved in the hot new congo on hyenacart, Simply Serene. We are still in the process of getting it all set up, and we plan on having our grand-opening stocking on September 8th. There will be multiple giveaways from crochet and knit, to diapers, nursing pads, and other items. You'll wanna be sure to come check us out, and I'll keep you all updated right here on the blog. And don't forget to go like us on facebook.

Thanks for being so supportive. R+R couldn't have done it without you all.
