You know what this means don't you? (Well yes, yes it does mean my entire front yard is covered in a foot of snow and is a featureless, frigid whiteout of despair...but that's not exactly what I had in mind...look at the yarn instead of the background.) It means it's almost photo shoot time. The next photo shoot is in early April, and these are all the yarns I've used in it. Running top to bottom we've got Bare Naked Wools, Vice, Quince, SweetGeorgia, Frog Tree, Phydeaux, Elemental Effects, Alchemy, Blue Moon Fiber Arts, Manos, Uncommon Thread, Lorna's Laces, Anzula, [...]
Book Yarn, Part IX
KCC3 is debuting soon (next week, eep!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book. So without further ado, yarn. These cheerful offerings are from SweetGeorgia. SweetGeorgia does amazing colors. Rich, saturated, intense colors. The colors that bolder, braver people than I manage to use in their houses and I always think it looks fabulous and am secretly jealous. And while I can't pull it off in my house, thanks to SweetGeorgia, I can totally manage it in my stash! And I've been [...]
Book Yarn, Part VIII
KCC3 is debuting soon (this month, eep!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book. So without further ado, yarn. This lovely burst of sunshine is from the good folks at Malabrigo. I'm guessing most of you already know all about Malabrigo (it's that one you find yourself hopelessly drawn to when you walk into your favorite yarn shop). And I'm guessing I love it just about as much as you do. It's turned a pair of fetching hats in Ne'er-Do-Well Knits, a [...]
Book Yarn, Part VII
KCC3 is debuting soon (this month, eep!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book. So without further ado, yarn. These charming bits of yarn are from Dream in Color. Dream in Color, not surprisingly, does amazing colors. I swear I've not seen a shade I don't like. So as you might expect, it finds its way onto my needles often. There are last year's knitty socks, two other individual socks, a hat, and some socks from the first book. And well, I [...]
Book Yarn, Part VI
KCC3 is debuting soon (this month, eep!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book. So without further ado, yarn. These beauties are from Lorna's Laces. I adore Lorna's Laces' colors, and they've got a base that will work for pretty much any project you might have in mind. So it's no surprise that their yarn has found its way onto my needles before! It's been delightful in socks and a cowl from KCC2, and more lovely socks from the first book. And [...]
Book Yarn, Part V
KCC3 is debuting soon (next month!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book. So without further ado, yarn. These charming bits of fluffy goodness are from Shibui. Shibui does something awfully nifty. They have a range of fabulous yarn bases, and a set of lovely colors, and the colors carry over from base to base. That means if you want to combine yarns in a single project, you can do it with confidence. It's really rather magical. It's actually something I'm playing [...]
Book Yarn, Part IV
KCC3 is debuting soon (next month!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book. So without further ado, yarn. These lovely bits of goodness are from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. Have I mentioned how one of the coolest things about doing these books is getting to use yarns I love? So it should come as no surprise that Blue Moon has found its way onto my needles before. There were the socks and shawl in the first KCC book, some socks in my [...]
Book Yarn, Part III
KCC3 is debuting soon (next month!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I’ve used in the book. So without further ado, yarn. These beautiful yarns are from String Theory. I may just have a little String Theory addiction problem obsession. I've visited (twice). My last two socks were made with String Theory. Um, and the socks on the cover of Ne'er-Do-Well Knits. Oh yeah, and some socks and a hat from KCC2. Oh and there may well be another secret project I can't tell you about [...]
Book Yarn, Part II
KCC3 is debuting soon (next month!) and I want to take a bit of time during the lead up to show off all the delightful yarns I've used in the book. So without further ado, yarn. These are two of the many amazing yarns available from Plucky Knitter. My love affair with Plucky yarns is well-documented and long-lasting. So far, I've indulged in some delightful boy socks, some downright girly socks, a cuff, a hat, and of course the cover socks from the last book! On the left, you've got Plucky Feet in Spice of Life. This is one of [...]
