I made a dream come true!

I received an email a while ago from the lovely Kiwiyarns. She had had a dream about green and purple stripy yarn and she asked if I could help her make the dream come true.

You can read her post here. It gives me the warm fuzzies! I'm so happy to hear that you like it, WS!

Oh, so soft!

This silk/merino lace weight is the softest yarn I have ever knitted!
And it's got such a beautiful sheen to it. Would you like to try it?

11 out of 10

I’m so very pleased with my colour changing BFL  yarn!

The yarn below is for socks. I have dyed it double stranded so it will give two identical socks! And the first 3–4 meters, when pulled from the centre, is a different colour to give a nice edge at the top of the sock. You can of course use it for wrist warmers, mittens or similar projects as well.

I think this yarn is so funky, I will proudly rate it 11 out of 10.  :)

What do you reckon?






















I have listed the yarn in my felt shop together with the colour changing for shawls and some new self-striping. Click the images below to check them out.

Wanna learn how to bead-knit?

I'm going to teach bead-knitting at Handmade in Wellington.
I will do two classes – one on Saturday 1 June and one on Sunday 2 June.
I don't know the time yet but the programme for Handmade will be published on 26 March and then you can go in and book all the classes you would like to take!














In my class you will learn how to bead-knit and we will make a brooch
just like the ones below.

Yummy lace

I've been very busy lately and among lots of other things I have dyed yummy silk/merino lace weight.
