It seems to me that this month has been one big game of catch up. I am not exactly winning or losing yet, but just trying to keep up!

Vending at the frolic was a blast. Leaving for Sheep and wool 2.5 days later…maybe not the best planned schedule, but I still plan on having a lot of fun. I am running around a bit and that’s ok because it is all in the name of my own fun!

On the knitting front I decided at the last minute (as any good knitter would do) that C needed a new sweater for his birthday which is on the 13th of May. So I cast on and am knitting at top speed. Cross your fingers for me!

Speaking of birthdays…mine is coming up too! Actually, it is the day after C’s birthday, which provides 2 days of birthday fun for us and an annual sale for you!

This year I will be running the sale while I am away at sheep and wool to keep you all busy and happy! The sale will start this Wednesday and orders will ship the week of May the 5th. That way I can take my actual birthday off and spend the day knitting and being pampered!

I have aslo accumulated a lot of new stock this month which still needs to go up in the store including:

Pigeonroof knits yarns, Sknitches Kettle Dyed, Brooklyn Handspun, Ceyeberfiber yarns and lots of new Sweet Sheep Yarns!

These yarns will start updating as soon as I have the birthday sale packages out! Whew…see what I mean about catching up?

March brings us one step closer to spring…and that makes me happy!

March Sweater Madness is in full swing!

Today is the last day for my Huge Inventory Sale…tomorrow I will start updating with all of the new yarns that have come in such as:

Ceyeberfiber worsted and feltable yarns

Dream in Color Baby lace and more of the new sock  yarn colours

Seacoast Handpainted Sock yarn

Avery Allison sock yarns

Lots and lots of Funky Carolina rovings, BFL, superwash merino, merino tencel and south african fine!

All of these wonderful products will go up in the shop over the course of this week including 3 new JOLENE MOSELY Designs!

The Sale at the shop continues! Thank you all for making it so successful! At this point next tuesday will be the last day of the sale so make sure you grab the yarns that you want while they are on sale.

I have been busy packing orders and knitting.

Here is the current state of the over achiever sweater

As you can see I am almost done! However this is how much sleeve I have to go

And this is how much yarn I have left

That is a bit of a problem for me. I wonder why I always seem to run out of handspun. It must be my own sweater curse. Luckily, I have some roving left over, so getting the rest of the sleeve finished will not be a problem…eventually. I need these needles for my March Sweater Madness sweater…so they might be in use when the yarn is finished…cest la vie!

Speaking of March Sweater Madness there is still time to join! I have chosen the sweater patterns, they are all very user friendly top down sweater that can be easily customized to you! There will be a lovely prize that will include some of my handspun yarn!

I was also thinking of doing a series of blog posts on the process of a handspun sweater and was wondering if that is something you would be interested in seeing?

There are lots of new yarns arriving too! There will be an update as soon as the sale is over.

We have:

Dream in Color Baby, Funky Carolina Rovings, Avery Allison yarns, Handmaiden camelspin new colours and Ceyeberfiber worsted weight semi solids!

The Sale is now on!

Almost all categories are on sale!! Go take a look and treat yourself to some sale yarns.

Please note: Free shipping is not valid during the sale….enjoy! 

It is that time again my friends…time to count my inventory for taxes….I fear this more than dropped stitches in lace.

I would really rather knit…and the amount of yarn around here is not a one day job to count…so I thought I would make it easier on myself and have a HUGE sale next week.

The Sale will begin on Tuesday as I will be taking our newest holiday “family day” off to knit and gather my strength before I tackle the books!

I have been knitting and working on my newest Mag Knits submission…I will let you know when it will be up as soon as I know!

I hope  you all had just as wonderful of a Holiday as I did.

Updates, info and stories to come…I just wanted to Thank all of you who took part in the sale! I certainly have lots of packing to do tomorrow!

Today is the last day for the sale!

Fantastic updates coming next week! Check the main page for more info.
