Stash Sale Update

July 12th, 2008 | 1 Comment

Thank you, thank you all for giving my yarn a new home. There are still a few items left from the original posting, and I decided to add a couple more things for sale. As before, prices are in USD and include shipping to the contiguous 48 US states. Paypal is preferred, but will accept other forms of payment. Take a look!

New Items

Joseph Galler Prime Alpaca

Joseph Galler Prime Alpaca
100% superfine alpaca
Sport weight
$12

This is leftover from the Haruha Scarf. Over half the ball is left over (4.5oz out of 8oz), so definitely enough to make another lacy scarf.

Lily Sugar ‘n Cream
100% cotton
Worsted weight
$5 for all three balls

Lily Sugar 'n Cream Cotton

Three brand new balls in red, cream, and light blue. I tried to become a dishcloth knitter, but it’s just not in me.

Leftover Sock Yarn
Fingering weight
SOLD

Leftover sock yarn

Each pair of the little balls shown here totals around 50g, so you should have enough to make a pair of children’s socks or small women’s socks/anklets out of the yarn. Here’s what we’ve got:

Front left:
Knitpicks Essential, Burgundy
47g left over from Denmark

Back left:
Lang Jawoll Superwash Solid, #88
45g left over from Hedera
Includes full spool of matching reinforcing thread

Front right:
Fortissima Socka, #1035
59g left over from Cable Twist Socks

Middle right:

53g left over from Embossed Leaves Socks

Back right:

47g left over from Straight-Laced Socks

Remaining items from previous sale post after the jump.

Wave of Babies Booties, Knitting Pattern Posted

July 12th, 2008 | No Comments

Wave of Babies Booties

Pattern: My own, download it here!
Yarn: Plymouth Encore, #1203, #599, #208, #515, #9621, #9401, #1202
Needles: Addi Turbos, US 7 (4.5mm)

These are my sanity-restoring baby booties. I’ve had the pattern written up for forever, I just needed to knit more samples. And then I knit the samples, but just needed to take pictures. And then I let the pictures sit, even though all I had to do was plop them into the pattern, convert to pdf, and upload.

Oh, and update the web site. Which is done now, so I’m going to bed. :) While I sleep, you can download the pattern and knit some booties.
