Little smidges and bits and patterns are arriving at the shop on a regular basis, which means lots of model knitting for me (which I love!). So, there’s plenty of inspiration around me
that’s a new 100% baby alpaca yarn from Cascade that will be added to the shelves this fall. I’m not sure [...]

Claudie is a design from Black Purl, a midwestern pattern source that’s headed up by someone who owns a yarn [...]
New hand-dyed goodies shown over at the ThreadBear “New Arrivals” blog.
I’ve been dyeing yarn in earnest again–Thursday I did a bunch of it (see the results over here) and several are sold (both Sprout and Gecko are still around, along with Tiger Lily and Leaf Peepers; Gecko is really the name for the one next to Tiger Lily), so I did more on Saturday (see [...]

OK–here goes what I think is rather obvious, yet not. I’ve gotten several e-mails (thank you) asking about, or hinting around, the topic. They started when there was a three-week period of radio silence (April 7th to 28th), which long-time readers who understand me a little bit hit square on the head, but [...]
Without going into unnecessary details, it’s interesting to rediscover parts of myself that have been buried away for years upon years. Tonight is one of those instances.
