Hope everyone is having a wonderful last-long-weekend-of-summer.  I’m having a perfect one.  Surrounded by those I love and reading, watching and listening to books that recharge my soul…just in time for the craziness that is my show season :)

What I’m listening to now:  “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle

What I am watching now: “Scared Sacred” by Velcrow Ripper

What I am reading now: The World Peace Diet” by Will Tuttle

Yep I’m a busy little beaver these days :)

Never made it…but there’s good news too :)

For those of you that attended the Knit Out in Victoria…sorry but I couldn’t make it.   Good news is that I will be running the Knit Out Special online.  Buy 5 skeins of the Tonals and West Coast Musings and get the 6th one free!  That means it’s a great time to start getting your Fall projects together…on the first day of summer!  The special will run for the rest of the week (til 25th).  Great time to get enough yarn for that special winter sweater or lots of 1 skein projects for Xmas gifts (I’m so cruel to mention this on the first day of summer!)

Happy Shopping!

ps don’t forget you still have one day for the specials on Silken Pleasures, the naturally dyed worsted wt wools and the DK wt silk blends.

pps just mention code vic5+1 in the notes section for the Knit Out Special.

New socks

Monday, April 19th, 2010

I’m so excited to have my new Amaranth socks!  My awseome friend finished them off for me yesterday….she sure is a fast knitter!  It would take me weeks to be done but then again she’s been knitting for years.  Anyway….in commemoration of my new socks :) the fingering wt tonals are 20% off until Wed April 21 when you buy the Amaranth pattern by Chrissy Gardiner at http://twistcollective.com/2010/spring/magazinepage_050.php . Just mention that you bought the pattern in the “notes” section of the shopping cart.  This will be the last sale for a while as the studio will be closed after the sale until May 10…a good time to stock up!

Off to Abbotsford Booth 601

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Phew!  I made it before the courier did (although he’s late due to vehicle problems which concerns me…a bit).  I’ve been working virtually non-stop for days to get ready for shipping to Abbotsford.  Usually I attend myself - and drive - so if I run out of time I just put everything in the van and sort it at the show.  This time I won’t be there myself so everything was being shipped via courier.  Here’s some of the boxes waiting for pick up:

And some of the silk before being packed.  It is exquisite!!!  Not as much as I’d hoped in the mulberry silk …but it’s all reskeined and any skeins with more than 3 knots were held back so you can be assured great and troublefree skeins!

The show is at the AgRec Centre in Abbotsford March 26-27 check here for details www.fibreswest.com

Indigo Moon Yarns will be at booth 601.  Lots of great yarns - new colourways - new yarns - the ever-popular superwash merino -  the oooh so sumptuous Silken Pleasures and…..Indigo Moon Yarn’s newest addition….I won’t tell you here…you’ll have to visit the show to find out or check the blog later this week…I’ll post on Thursday in case you want to rush on over to pick some up…it’s my most favorite yarn …and now it’s finally available for all of you!

Cheers
