As I shared in my last post, Miss Kate (age 3) has been begging me to knit her a pair of socks. I needed a bit of a pallette cleanser (as Kathleen Taylor would say), so I cast on over the weekend. Of course, I still need to make another. ...

I've been quiet for a reason. Working on getting this pattern to the test knitters this weekend. You're the first to see a sneak peek! This is just a quick cell phone pic. I'll share better pics once the pattern is ready for release. Then watch for a possible giveaway!
Once released, this pattern will be available on it...s own or as a kit in your choice of "Merlot" (purpley burgundy), "Midnight" (slightly bluer than navy), or "Steel" (medium gray)...all of which are semi-solids.Read More

I need color suggestions. I'm rolling out a new product (early November?) that will allow customers to choose one of three colors, but I'm having trouble deciding which three I should offer. Considering a pale leaf green, deep purple, and denim or medium blue....but I'm torn. Considering replacing the blue with a pale ...peach or a pinky-tan. The colors need not coordinate. Help? Maybe suggest your favorite color/shade?Read More

JL Yarnworks One of the arms of my skeinwinder just snapped in two. Grrrr. Already emailed the company for a replacement part, but that won't help me this weekend. Time to bring out the niddy noddy and wind my skeins by hand. I used to do it by hand all the time, but now I'm spoiled with my electric skeinwinder. I hope they get me my part very soon!!!

JL Yarnworks I plan to dye yarn all weekend. If you have any color requests, just say the word!

JL Yarnworks Home from North Country Fiber Fair. What a great group of people. It's only my second year, but it felt so much like a family reunion. Hugs and smiles of greeting all around. I think that's one reason I do this. The people are absolutely beyond fabulous! Putting the websites back online now. Then I plan to take a day to recover before it's back to the groove. :)

JL Yarnworks Headed to North Country Fiber Fair in Watertown, SD this weekend! This was great fun last year, so I'm looking forward to it. I will be putting my Etsy store in vacation mode and zeroing out my inventory on JLYarnworks.com until Monday. Wish me luck!
