Thanks!

I want to post a big heartfelt Thank You to the very first buyer in my new Etsy Shop! It was so exciting to get the notification of the sale last night. Ripping Yarns will be flying your way through the post very soon!

Unraveling

I'm in the process of setting up a new Etsy shop for my knitting zine and other vintage and vintage-inspired things. It should be open sometime in the next week or so. My Etsy name is Unraveling.

The shop is Open!! click here --> UNRAVELING

Obviously, it's just in the beginning stages with only a few things posted, but there will be more and more as we go along. The zine is there, of course. :)

Thanks so much for the interest in my zine, here and on Ravelry!

Ripping Yarns

In the words of an old ballad,
otherwise completely lost,
Life's a recipe-less salad
that's forever being tossed.
~Edward Gorey


The knitting zine is finished!

There is a ripping yarn, of course, two baby stocking patterns, one of my original recipes and various illustrations. There's a bonus third pattern in this one too!

Here are the stockings, String Beans and Carrot Sticks, made from Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock mediumweight. (What can I say? I'd ingest the stuff if I could!) The green is their colourway, "Lucky" and the gorgeous deep orange-red is the new colourway, "Saffron Jungle".

Now looking for knitting stores in Portland, Oregon who might like to carry it.

The next edition - the summer one - will have patterns for adults, again with BMFA yarns, this time in silks. The words and pictures are dancing around in this unruly amusement park I call a brain.
