Market Bag Survey: Results!

You may recall several weeks ago we held a fun survey to see which colour you would choose to make a Knit Market Bag. The colours were drawn from Pantone's Spring 2012 Fashion Colour Report, and the pattern was the Ilene Bag, a popular freebie on Ravelry. 

As promised, we made our bag in the popular choice, Tangerine Tango. We used just over 1 skein of Super 10 cotton. If you want to make the strap long, you'll need 2 skeins of the Super 10, but if you are ok with making it a little shorter you can get away with one. Read more about our bag HERE.

A Slew of New Studioloo!

We just got a SLEW of new Handspun Art Yarns from Studioloo!  The following are a selection of some of my favourites .... (by the way, the colours aren't entirely accurate, the light was a little strong during photography).

Camel of the Desert & Brunettes Have Fun Too

Bacon 'n Eggs (we have 3 skeins!), Candy Twist, & Many Hands (yup, those are little barbie hands all over the skein)

Jackie O, Honey Blooms, & Candy Harvest (it's sparkly!)

Spices and Treasure, Sunsweets (sparkly), & Sunlit Studio (those are plastic grapes and felted & embroidered balls)

Tea Party Charm, Pod Garden, Happy Fruits (skein has smiley fruits, some have googly eyes), David Attenborough's Hideout (wins prize for best yarn name EVER, plus it is extra gorgeous)

Villains (covered in bits of GI Joes & etc), Little People Land (Fisher Price people), & Bloo (apparently Grover was shorn like a sheep and Cindy spun his fur)
