September Yarn Episode 3: It Is What It Is ;)



FO: Flying North Socks in Nomatic Yarn (Spark).

WIPs: Flying North Socks in Knit Picks Glimmer that I dyed up here.
The Lush Cardigan by Tin Can Knits in Lanaloft Sport (that I should have said- it fluffs up amazingly after a wash!) in Manor Grey.
The Mystery Sock-A-Long with Anja in the 15socksin15 group on Ravelry (clue 1) in my 4ply sock yarn dyed here (colorway Summer Bicycle: Pink).
The Secret Knit is a Black Yarn (Belle) by Red Riding Hood Yarn.

Project bags by Deb at Fondant Fibre and Zippy Wippies.

Taos New Mexico Yarn shops:
Moxie (Where I bought the knitting needles)
Mooncat Fiber (where I found the lovely yarn by so many local (NM) Indie Dyers) Loved this shop! She has a group on Rav as well.

The farm we will visit next time and I think you might like if you are in the area is the Rio Fernando Farm-

"In this tranquil mountain setting, regal llamas, curious pygora (cashmere) goats, and fluffy angora rabbits are your hosts.  Shelly Loveless knows her fiber, and spins and knits beautiful blends of yarn and her own creations.  This welcoming farm offers raw fiber, yarn, and garments for sale.  Loveless says of her furry family's calming influence, "You just pet them and you relax."

you can find Shelly Lovelaces info. HERE.

Espanola Valley Fiber Arts Center (What A Treasure) and facebook page. So good!

Yep, think that is all for now~ thanks so much for watching! Happy Mother's Day week!!

The secret knits are in bags made by Deb at FondantFibre.bigcartel.com (you should totally go get some).

April 15, 2015


The pitter patter that you hear in the first bit of this episode is the dogs. Funny I didn't even notice it until I watched later. sorry!

FO x2: The shawl which I showed you up-side-down (shock and horror here folks!) is Kelly Brooker's Amalgamate. (pattern out soon)

Kal success; The Bloccare Cap

WIPs
Kelly's Vanilla Soaker pattern- the yarn a DK hand dyed here in my MLP Fluttershy colorway. that I now see I listed as shutterfly, oh gosh. will. change. later.

Socks x2: Flying North pattern by Maria from the Stitched in Sweden Podcast.

The sweater: Lush by Tin Can Knits

Secret Knit x2 Yarn from Red Riding Hood Yarn (yummm)

All my yarn can be found at www.zibbet.com/tinasseptember

I do promise not to end every episode so very abruptly- although I am very tempted to keep that a theme for the show. I watch too many spy/mystery things on Amazon Prime and Netflix I suspect.

Thanks for stopping by!
