Work of Art

The Work of Art workshop happened tonight at the store. I wish I'd thought to get pictures of what everyone was doing!

This is my yarn, to which some shocking pink fun fur and red ribbon yarn were added:


Yeah, it's mostly orange. No one was surprised.

Westknits MKAL 2016

After some waffling on Instagram, these are my colors - "Enlightened" (green) by Unplanned Peacock (lost label, pretty sure it's sparkly sock?); "Be Happy" (bright multi) by Reflections, "Lemon/Lime" also by Reflections, (both are Petite Sock); and the blue is "Paradise" in Anzula's Haiku.

Mizzle

In the interests of having at least one store model for a yarn I hope to carry, I hauled my Wild Hare Fibers project out. It's "Mizzle", free on Rav, and the body is out of the cool glows-under-blacklight yarn. (The bottom will be just plain black.)

Just did the final increase to 607 sts/row.

Special Yarn

So Shadow Dyer appeared at Nature's Yarns overnight.... 


I got some.


The yellow will be color #4 in the upcoming Stephen West MKAL; the multi ("Be Happy" colorway) will be the Cosmic Garden Cowl from the most recent ReCrochetions newsletter.


Yay! Yarn!

Hello, I'm sort of back, and I'm about to get my own yarn store!

Oh, man. I'm sorry everyone - I just noticed that I hadn't published any of the comments you've left for the last... yikes!! Six months! I'll be better about that, I promise!

Since I've kinda vanished the last few weeks (okay, most of September), let me tell you what's going on:

I'm opening a yarn store!!!!!!

I haven't got a lease in hand (but hopefully soon), and I do have a name - which I'll tell you all once I have the website up and running so you can check it out.

I've already decided that this year's NaNoNovel will be my adventures with starting up and opening a yarn store.

Wish me luck!!
