Hand Knitting Blog & Knitting Patterns
Discontinued colors. All of them, including some dear old friends. I weep.
Jamieson & Smith have reduced their range to 80 colors…you’d think that would be enough. Spoiled. I was spoiled!
You know what they say, “keep calm and cast on”.
Update: as Anne mentioned in the comments Jamieson’s still has close to 200 colors, so between the 2 of them we should all be ok.
The real mourning is for the people of Haiti- Doctors Without Borders, you can specify Haiti for your donation.
Are all colors really a result of mixing a combination of the three above? Hmmmm…
Find out at Purl Diva this weekend! Only it is sold out…oh dear.
There is still room in Introduction to Stranded Colorwork….aka…Fair Isle Knitting!
No experience necessary. Quash your fears! The world of color is yours!
Yarn is provided, just bring US4 DPNs or circular needles.

9:30 – 11:30 AM
3 Summer Street,
just off Pleasant St./Route 1
Brunswick, Maine
Does it surprise you? It’s homemade.
The halo of angora….
I had an idea when I posted this….and then…being away from the internet unexpectedly, and for so long, I came upon thousands…and I mean thousands of spam comments. It was nice for a moment to feel so popular when I saw 1000 comments alone on my Twist Collective post. However, the comments themselves were mostly pharmaceutical, occasionally Russian and at best mundane, except for the alarming, BABY LUNGS, or the mildly amusing GIRLS SMOKING CIGARS. So I deleted them all. Which took some time. And I’m afraid a few good old friend’s real comments were lost too, I hope not.
So whatever was in my head to post is no longer.
I’ll just crunch out to the wood pile and throw another log onto the fire.
cheers!
