Shop Update Preview!!

I'm doing a quick drive by posting!! 

There will be a shop update tomorrow Tuesday April 5 at 10am MST! I'll be adding some New Lobster Claw Stitch Markers and Hook Stitch Markers 😀 I love them all and the photos don't do them justice!! There is only 1 set of each and I'm giving fair notice that all my stock will be coming with me to the Calgary Fibre Shindig on April 16th. So if you have your heart set on any set I can't guarantee it will be in the shop after the 16th. I also won't be able to make anymore of these sets until after the Calgary Fibre Shindig but there will be an additional update after. I'll post more info on that at a later date! 

Now onto the fun stuff!! Here is what will be loaded into the shop tomorrow 😀

Lobster Claw Stitch Markers! Each set is $12 each for a set of 6 and they can be used for both knitters and crocheters. I use mine to count rows or to mark the beginning of a round. They measure 3cm in total length and 2cm not including the lobster claw.

The giveaway is open until April 15 at midnight and a winner will be announced on April 17 😄

What on the needles now...

I've been dying to cast on Prairie Sage since I dyed it up! I knew that it would be nearly impossible to reproduce! I was dyeing up something completely different when everything went WRONG and the resulting yarn came out this beautiful sage colour. So being that there were only 4 skeins in this One Of A Kind colorways I was quick to snag myself a skein once Miso Crafty Knits purchased one in the Wild Rose base! Check out her Instagram feed HERE and her Ello Feed HERE!

I casted on a pair of Plain Stockinette Socks using the slip stitch heel I'm so fond of! 

Yarn: Prairie Dye Studio MCN Sock in Prairie Sage

So if your curious how Prairie Sage knits up the picture below is a good representation of how it will look! 

It's knitting up better than I hoped for! It's a good example of how yarn looks in a skein isn't always how it knits up 😍 Subtle shades of sage greens and shades of mellow Browns! A totally unexpected group of complimentary colours!!

If your interested in snagging a skein for yourself I currently have 2 skeins of Prairie Sage left! 1 in BFL Sock and 1 in Anna's Sock. Check out my Etsy Shop HERE for more info on each sock base 😄

Happy Knitting 😄

Pretty Pretty Yarn...

While creating my Ello account yesterday I had a chance to play with yarn colorways to get a photo for my banner :-) It was so much fun! 

From Left to Right: Realgar, Duchess, Tanzanite, Teal Me Blue & A River Runs Through

I think I tend to dye blues, purples and greens since they are my comfort zone. I'm looking forward to dyeing with other colours as soon as my yarn order comes in. Unfortunately it's been back orderd for about 1.5 months which is a real bummer! Although I've chosen to branch out a bit, so I put an order in for fiber. So there will be something new to my Etsy Shop soon :-)

Happy Knitting :-)

Instagram, Facebook and now Ello!!

I've noticed a lot of my Instagram peeps joining the Ello alum so I've decided to give it a try! 

I'll still be posting regularly on Instagram and on my Facebook page. I'm also going to be making a more conscious effort to post on the blog, which has been severely neglected the past few months!! I'm searching for an app that I can post on that won't make my photos all wonky! 

Happy Knitting :-)
