How The West Was Spun: Some Random Shop Tidbits

Some Random Shop Tidbits

I have moved my shop back to Etsy for now, while we are still dealing with being in the rental house, and having multiple flights of stairs to deal with when dyeing yarn. That link is active in the right sidebar, and there are a few handpainted skeins still floating around over there.

I also added a new side bar link that also takes you to my Etsy store that is Patterns for Sale. I have finally gotten the Filey Bay Socks pattern finalized, and that's available for sale now, either as a pdf file or as a printable hard copy. The kits withTerry's alpaca/nylon sock yarn are available if you contact her via her website. (I know it's been a while, but the pattern looks like this:

I also have a few skeins remaining of my custom-spun Celestial yarn, which was used for the Gnarled Oaks shawl that Anne of Knitspot worked up for the Twist Collective Fall 2008 issue. I have a few skeins left in the original Dryad Moon brown, a gray Milky Way, and the black Meteor Showers colorway. This yarn is great for heavier-weight shawls, but can also be substituted for lighter sportweight yarns, like Rowan's Felted Tweed. The link above is to Ravelry, and has pictures of all 3 colorways. The skeins are 400 yards each, and they are on sale for $40.00. Buy two or more, and shipping is free. If you have a hankering for any of these, please shoot me an email (link in the upper left-hand corner), and I'll be glad to get you set up.

All for now.......
