After a week of reality, I’m back to knowing what day it is. My apologies for the radio silence. I hope everyone’s 2015 is off to a good start!
It seems as though I have a lot to report, and I’m not sure it is all organized in my head, but I’m just going to jump in.
I don’t know what free pattern to post, which probably means I will suggest more than one. But before I do that I should mention what’s new in the shop, and psst…what’s coming.
New Yarns:
Magpie Fibers – We started carrying several bases in Dami’s yarn in December. Check out her group page and yarns on Ravelry. If you didn’t make it in over the holiday’s, well, your next visit will be a treat.
Duck Duck Wool Silky Singleton – A new addition to the Duck Duck Wall. The Silky Singleton is a 70/30 merino/silk fingering weight yarn that screams elegance. We have a limited selection at the moment, but we have another 15 colors on the way. I just wound some to start Nangou. I think this counts as a spring sample…
Lakes Yarn – We hope to have this new addition in a couple of weeks. More to come on this… we are going to carry two bases, and just can’t wait.
Classes: Mom’s Sock Class starts February 14th for those that have been waiting. She is also teaching a Fixing Mistakes Class on February 7th.
Dragonfly Trunk Show Save the Date January 31st!
Free Pattern Friday
Seems as though some of us are into cables lately, so I thought Mavis by Melissa Thompson might be a good choice. It uses 2 or 3 skeins of worsted, and we have all kinds to select from.
Lilac Wine by Amy Christoffers. I just stumbled on this one and thought I would post it because it uses Sport weight, and we just put Baah! Aspen on sale 20%.
And if you really want something for yourself, I would cast this on right now (and just might). It is Mimic, by Veronica Jobe and has just come out. Shalimar Breathless DK would be a good choice.
Ok, that’s all for now. But watch for another update as soon as Mom and I get our new Shop Samples blocked…I only have 16 more rounds.
Stay Warm! Dang.. I almost forgot to mention we got more Western Sky beauties in this week!
