Ok, so in line with my shameless self promotion, I grabbed a skein of My new yarn, in the Caitlyn color way. I proceeded to knit an adorable hat I had been wanting to try out. It barely took any yarn, and its adorable. It took me one night to knit up. And I love it! The pattern is piggle from Knitty.com.

So here is the Caitlyn color way balled up!

The Yarn stripes up nicely. In the 120 stitch count it has a nice gently sloping stripe of white. In the areas where it has decreased near the top, it begins to have thicker stripes, which is what I imagine it will do with socks!

And for the final product, A moment of pure beauty, on the person the color way was named after…

Not bad for a quick knit. The yarn was yummy to knit with. Very soft, and squishy…I can’t wait to knit up some socks with it!

Welcome to my humble store blog. I have worked hard to get as much yarn dyed, and markers made, to justify opening a shop. While my main store site is under construction, I will be using Etsy as my store front, to sell my hand crafted items. So feel free to click to the right on my store, and find out what all I have been up to.

As far as what the future holds, I have a store in the works, that will knock your socks off. A spot for blogs to be consolidated, a spot to find help for beginners and those expanding their knowledge, a place to find a listing of local yarn shops, and local knitting groups, as well as current knit-a-longs, online yarn shops, and a comprehensive pattern directory. A one stop shop for all your knitting information.

To kick this off, I want to get my yarn out to experienced knitter/bloggers so that there can be some real reviews for our purchasers. I have already enlisted the help of poormissfinch. Any other takers for a skein of fabulous 100% superfine merino hand dyed - for the price of a post with a photo of the finished product? Well thats it for now…more to come soon…
