I haven’t knit a scarf since my novelty eyelash days ended many years ago. This scarf is like no other! I’m using two different color ways and I absolutely love how its turning out. Brooklyn Tweed is the force behind my inspiration. If you haven’t checked out his blog, you’ve been missing out.

Lexi Boeger’s second book is now available! The book features a skein of my yarn on page 289. I’m thrilled to be a part of this book/revolution!

I am completely in love with this technique! I’m making EZ’s mittered mittens using the Magic Loop and wish I had learned this technique earlier.

Merry Christmas!!

Santa brought me a big pile of O’Wool!

What did he bring you?

I had a great holiday craft fair season. I will be doing a large shop update tomorrow. So… if you still need a gift for a knitter/crocheter/fiber lover get your order in. I can’t guarantee shipping after the 10th of December. But remember if your local (Twin Cities) we can arrange a pick up.

Thank you so so much for those of you who made it out to No Coast or Handmaiden Craftmas, I had a great time!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Thank you to everyone who came out for No Coast 2007. It was a great weekend of crafts and friends. I look forward to it next year!
