I won!


Darn Good Yarn is an online company that I enjoy browsing from time to time. Yesterday they had a "name-that-yarn-contest" and guess who's yarn name was selected? Introducing "Jubilee." You can click on the link to see their website. Happy Knitting, everybody! Dec 2010 Newsletter

Don't Tell The Others, But These Are My Favorites.....

I know we're not supposed to have favorites among our "children," but sometimes I come up against yarn so lovely, I almost hope the finished product doesn't sell so I can keep it for myself! Here are a few that will hurt when I see them go to new homes....

(Above) This scarf is made from 100% recycled sari silk, hand spun by women in India and Nepal and hand knit by a woman in Newark! It's the soft rainbow colors that sell this one for me, it's artsy and unique without being too "out there."


I have great affection for this scarf, I made it extra long and skinny for a hip, artistic, on-the-go soul. It's 50% wool hand spun in Nazareth, P.A. and 50% sari silk from India and 100% nifty!


I call this my "Honeycomb scarf." Knit in seed stitch to show off the glorious wool and lovely color changes, I think I will HAVE to go and make a duplicate of this pretty thing for myself. I can't stand it. 100% kettle dyed wool.


It's hard to walk past this soft and nubbly scarf and NOT pick it up. The colors are jewel like and vibrant. I want this one too! Be prepared to answer a lot of questions about where you got it, if this scarf ends up being yours!
