Studioloo
Whoops! I got these in over the holidays and lost the posting in my festive slacking. I must have been unconsciously hoarding them. Well , lesson learned, you gotta come in to stay current!
These Lurvlies are hand spun, very special, very unique skeins of yarn from Studioloo. Prices range from between $40 to $50 each. Fortunately we'll be getting more in, unfortunately the following are long gone:
- green eggs & ham
- eggs & bacon
- marbles (mine! all mine!)
- pink flowers
- posies (can you see it int the pictures? it was purty!)
favorite socks
A very cleverly crafted book, it is a hard cover with a spiral binding for long term heavy use. Clever Interweavers! If you love those lovely, cosy textured socks from Interweave this is the book you MUST have. After you see this book you're going to want to retire early to spend the rest of your days making & wearing these socks. There's even a pair of knee socks I'm eyeing. ;-)
