Been meaning to blog for days....

I have all of these thoughts in my head and not enough hours to execute them! I will say that we are working on a lot of new stuff for fall. New yarn lines, new colors.... oh the fun! I'm really excited about the new Twilight Club. We have a lot of excited members and I am anxious for them to see the yarn and knit the patterns!
We also added some Semi-Solid yarn. It's in the Etsy Shop right now.
Man, has it been hot! Really hot when you slave over dye pots all day! This is what I decided I needed after a hot day in the studio...

I also tried to take a matching 4th of July photo of the boys. Usually it's the little one crying. Yesterday it was the big one!

But everyone cheers up when they see this face. He's never mad, he just looks that way!

I love this handspun yarn. The roving is from GalesArt.com I posted the finished product on Etsy.

It was wonderful to spin!

Spinning and knitting....

I have finished spinning this beautiful roving from GalesArt in Sweet Pea. I am resting it hoping to ply tonight. I'm thinking Navajo plying. It's fingering weight. Next is this roving that I dyed Sunday for ME! Its bamboo/merino. I dyed 8 oz for myself!
Parker's sweater is well on its way to being done. I have done a lot of work on Twilight socks so it has kinda been on the back burner but it has been GREAT for mindless knitting. I have been working a lot on it as I nurse him. I did do one boo boo, but it will work fine. I intended it to be a cardi and I forgot to quit the beginning of the row increases. Now it will be a kimono style! I have taken fairly good notes so I can write it up when I'm done!
Don't forget to sign up for the Bundled Babies Sweater club to get hand painted yarn for your little ones fall/winter apparel! I will get the pattern written up and send it to club members before the club is over.

And the next surprise is....

I've had a lot of customer request for a FIBER Twilight Club and here is what I have decided.
The colorways will be the SAME as the sock club and the fiber will be 8 oz of a superwash fiber each month. Shipments include the sock pattern as well! (fibers will be superwash merino, superwash BFL. Bamboo blends etc.)
Here is the catch, I am only opening up 10 slots. Sign up now. Shipments will go out at the same time as the sock club and will be $35 per month including shipping in the US and Canada. Enjoy!

Gearing up for SOS09!

Sale on Etsy stock. These skeins are INSTOCK ready to ship!

What are your goals for SOS09?

I have a lot of design work and a huge queue for this summer so I doubt I will accomplish much in the way of SOS but I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else accomplishes!

There are also only 5 slots left for the Twilight Club!

I'm hoping that these boys will let me knit some today so I can hopefully finish up my baby sweater this weekend! Check back for photos.

Yowza!

Twilight themed Sock Club is filling fast!!! See this post don't miss out! If you are an established customer and are waiting for pay day e-mail me and I will hold your slot!

Getting into this Twitter thing!

Who would've thunk it would be so fun? It's exactly what I need. Another distraction! How in the world am I going to take care of these boys, dye yarn, knit, spin AND keep up with Twitter?! I am very thankful that I have an iPhone and can keep it with me for where ever!

Did you know that I actually still do knit?! Well, I do! Between taking care of the boys and everyone's yarn needs, I rarely do get the time but I cast on for a new sweater for P last night while watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (a very good movie by the way!) It is knit in June's Baby Bums yarn so if you haven't gotten yours yet and don't want to be spoiled, LOOK AWAY! Hopefully I will get it done fairly quick and if I like it I will write up the pattern for everyone. Basically it is top down with an afterthought border and hopefully (I said hopefully!) I will fix it so it is SEAM FREE!




Oh and I love my Boston Terrier stitch markers! :-D they are from WeeOnes on Etsy
