KnitPicks Harmony Interchangeables!

2012-05-07T11:56:00.000-04:00

This year for Mother's Day, I got (yes, early) the KnitPicks Harmony Interchangeable needles that I've wanted for years!

Now this picture doesn't quite do them justice, so let's take a closer look shall we?

Pauly says they look like Hippy Tie-Dye, but psssh, whatever lol. I love them and can't wait to start knitting on them! I'll let you know what I think!

What are your favourite interchangeable needle?

Notion Bags!

Check out what I've been up to!

Notion bags! They're super fun and hold most if not all of your notions! I bought a bunch of fabulous fabric so there will be awesome bags hitting The Fibre Fun Emporium in the nearish future!

Soper Creek Yarn Challenge!

2012-03-20T22:39:00.000-04:00

As you may or may not remember I have entered the Soper Creek Yarn Challenge twice.
The first entry was a rainbow cowl. Which it appears I never showed you. So here it is.
The second year was fair isle mittens. (Were fair isle mittens?)

This year it's a hexagon granny "square' scarf! Like the fair isle mitts last year, it's not my usual style but fun all the same!

As usual, if you're in the Bowmanville area, you should head over to Soper Creek Yarn on King St. and vote for me, because that would be fabulous!

Saturday Show and Tell!

Hello darlings! I hope your weekend is treating you well thus far.
Yesterday as I was spinning I had an idea for my next yarn and ran to the studio to make the batts.
I present to you Kitchen Sink Pink:

Why kitchen sink? Because this baby has tons of stuff in it! It's made of merino, bamboo, mohair, 2 different shades of pink icicle and silk noil. The silk noil and mohair add some fun texture and I can't wait to see how it spins up!

Till next time,
Redd

Super Cuteness!

2011-05-19T13:03:00.000-04:00

Check out this super cute ring I bought on Etsy!

A few weeks ago I saw this on the front page of Etsy by I'm Your Present. I simply HAD to have it. When it arrived, it was nicely packaged and she included candy. Who doesn't love candy?
My son especially loves this ring. The first day I wore it he kept kissing and hugging it. I felt like the Godfather lol.

Show and Tell

2011-05-05T20:58:00.000-04:00

With my income tax refund (okay, Paul's income tax refund) I got an Ashford drum carder and jumbo flyer for my spinning wheel. What great purchases those were! The first batt I made on my carder was this:

It's a mix of polworth from Crafty Puppy Lover, milk fibre from Wabi Sabi and a red firestar from Wind Rose Studio.
I spun it and plied it on my fancy new flyer and now I have this totally awesome, fun yarn!

Now I get to figure out what I'm going to make with this because I love it too much to sell.

Treasury Tuesday - Attack of The Craft

2011-04-19T10:18:00.000-04:00

So if you've been paying attention, most Tuesdays I do Treasury Tuesdays here on the blog. I always feature people from the CraftAnon Team. But what is the CraftAnon Team? We are a bunch of super awesome folks from Attack of the Craft.
Attack of the Craft is a web forum where awesome crafters and lovers of awesome crafters mingle together. We don't just talk about crafts either. You can share recipes, makeup tips, even vent about your day. They are an awesome group of friends that I am really glad that I found.
So today's treasury theme is hearts, because I'm mushy that way :P
