Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
Normally I’m a protein fiber gal, all the way. Sit me in a pile of wool, alpaca, mohair and yak and I’m a happy camper. In fact, I frequently avoid plant fibers because they just…don’t act like wool. The lack of halo, heather, and sproing are all things I typically struggle with when knitting with …
This review should have been posted two months ago; but better late than never. Today I’m reviewing SweetGeorgia CashSilk Lace, the yarn I used in one of my samples for my Á Chloris shawl! Before I begin, full disclosure. This yarn and the next yarn I’ll be reviewing, SweetGeorgia Flaxen Silk DK, have acquired some …
It’s time for the Mélodies KAL! Signups (and lovely yarn pictures!) are beginning to appear and I can’t wait to see what everyone makes. This is a super laid-back knitalong, so most of the housekeeping items below are to make the prize draws at the end easier—from the top: Any of the four patterns from …
Is it really time to do this? I almost can’t believe it; but here we are. It’s time to release the last pattern from Mélodies: please welcome Á Chloris! Pattern and giveaway information are towards the bottom of the post, as are more details regarding the Mélodies KAL which starts in just a few weeks; …
It’s almost time! Á Chloris comes out next week, and since I can’t wait to show it to you, I have more pictures. My testers’ needles are blazing away and some of them are already done; their projects are stunning. They’ve done their shawls in a variety of weights and yarn amounts, so you can …
Á Chloris, the final design in Mélodies comes out in three weeks! It’s hard to believe that Mélodies is almost complete—this collection has been in the works for over a year (and the first design, Le Soir, has been kicking around in my mind since summer of 2018). While I can’t show the whole thing …
Thank you everyone for your patience—because here, at last, is my review of Oasis Camel Silk Fingering from Expression Fiber Arts! This review has been on the back burner for almost six weeks now; Clair de Lune came out in early December, but my routine of reviewing the yarn in the next week or two …
Six weeks just shot by like a bullet train—it’s time to release Clair de Lune! We’re following the usual drill today—pattern & ebook info and giveaway instructions are down at the bottom, so if you want to skip the customary ramble, do so with my blessing. (Though rambles are known for their lovely scenery…) The …
So, I made a lace monster. I will not tell a lie; that’s what it is. I’m clearly a little crazy. But the real question is whether there’s anyone else as crazy as I am that would actually want to make this thing themselves. The answer? Yes. That’s right, I actually did get testers for …
At last, at last; it’s been almost three weeks since I was supposed to have written this yarn review. But here we are now, and it’s time to talk about Malabrigo Silkpaca! I was first introduced to Malabrigo early in my knitting journey, when one of my aunts gifted me 3 skeins of Mecha (I …
