Happy Friday

Happy Friday! I'm excited to hang out with my Friday Fiber Friends in the shop today from 12 - 1:30PM and finish up my Attabi Scarf!

Last weekend was a wonderful busy blast! Cambria provided perfect weather for the Smirligans pop-up event and the new colorways were a huge hit.

And I am so grateful for the outpouring of kind words and congratulatory messages that I received for my 2nd Anniversary.

I kept myself busy this week adding new yarns from Urth/Gusto and creating some new kits and knitting my own Butterfly Cowl!

Beverly is such a goof!

New Trendsetter Kits!

If you missed the Weekend Stitching Workshops and Trunk Show with Barry from Trendsetter Yarns, but loved the projects...they're now available as kits!

Grab a kit for:

• Milestones Eyelet Panel Walking Vest
• Dot & Colorissimo Striped Fan Stitch Shawl
• Woolstar Walking Stripes Poncho

Just for fun I dyed a skein of Dot using Moonbow dye and knit the Quick Oats baby sweater!

New Urth Yarns & Kits!

I continue to be excited by the innovative yarns and patterns from Urth/Gusto yarns!

I've recently added several new yarns:

• Rare 16 - gradient dyed extrafine merino
• 16 Fingering - luxurious extrafine merino
• Echoes Aran - self-striping merino
• Marled Ewe - marled sock yarn

I've created Butterfly Cowl Kits combining complementary colors of Rare 16 and 16 Fingering. After completing this cowl, you may want to push your skills and knit the famous Butterfly Shawl!

Check out the Attabi Scarf (in Echoes Aran) and the Ashlar Scarf (in Marled Ewe) for other project ideas.
