Navy with little flecks of silver at odd intervals, like a night sky :)

That sounds lovely.

My favourite yoga pants are loose navy affairs with little white flecks and I call them my night sky trousers. They always make me happy and feel protected.

Something that was beautiful and not workaday that was like that would be lovely. Like you were protected by the sky itself Meeks, that you were of the sky.

Hm... I don't think I would be able to find a yarn that could pull off this type of pattern. I found some silver laced navy blue, but the whole thing would be slightly shiny. It's certainly a whimsical suggestion. ^_^

Thanks to desertslave for helping me work this out!

This is just the test run of the pattern. :) I used what I had on hand so the color doesn't look very good with the dress. In going to purchase the yarn and ribbon to go with the dress. Also, I'll maybe make some changes like making it wider and such.

I found a skein of this yarn at my LYS, in Black (05). The flash is blue-green. I had to have it! I'm making a lacy toque for daughter 1 for Xmas.

Thank you! I think you'd like one of my favorite ceiling places. In fact, buildings, its a castle ruin, like a .....fortress more than a fairytales palace. It was one of the locations for the film of Ladyhawke? Do you know this film? Its in a place called Soncino, a dear little town, and is called Rocca Sforzesca. It has a beautiful worn star ceiling. Whereas in the same town is a church with an a aging preserved very bright even garish star ceiling. I love the Rocca best, its beautiful. And the sort of size I can just imagine being lady of :D. Not too big, and far from tiny!

That's one of my favorite films for many reasons, including the scenery! I would love to see the real thing. By the name I'm guessing it's in Italy and belonged to the Sforzas?

Here's a little glimpse of a piece I finished recently for a client:



 
and a little pendant I did for my fiance:

one side


the other side:
 
Wow Mark... really sweet! You do such lovely work!

What / who is the guy? Is there significance to the bars on his sleeve?
 
He's a mountain man figure from the 1800's. Taken from a photograph. I touched him up a little with the beadwork on his sleeve which is Crow style. My client said: "he looks worried." I told him he ought to be because he has on Crow beadwork and he's in Sioux territory.

Thanks for the kind words.
 
a friend of mine took some kind of organic gardening workshop and they used cowhorns to create some kind of super duper fertilizer. I'll see if I can find the link and post it. Unfortunately I do not have a green thumb, so it was lost on me...
 
Elle,

Look up Biodynamic Farming on wikipedia. That explains the ideas. I lifted this sentence from the body of the text re: cow horns

500: (horn-manure) a humus mixture prepared by filling the horn of a cow with cow manure and burying it in the ground (40–60 cm below the surface) in the autumn. It is left to decompose during the winter and recovered for use the following spring.[36]

That may explain the horns you dig up?
