Desperate for yarn?

Since closing my online shop (to focus exclusively on yarn shops + Yarn Mail+writing the BOOK), I’ve gotten a steady stream of emails asking “Where’s the yarn?” Well, the yarn is here. . . . → Read More: Desperate for yarn?

Betiko round-up

Finally! The long-awaited conclusion of the Betiko knitalong!

I made mine out of my handspun:

And I completely love it:

Gullyer also made hers with my handspun: How cute is she? (Ravelry project details here)

 

Kelli made hers with some deliciously stripey Lisa Souza:

(Ravelry project info here)

Kristine made hers with handdyed yarn, and I love the way the color shifts.

Even though the knitalong ended a few months ago, it’s just now getting to be cool enough for me to wear my Betiko…and I can’t wait!

 

Did you make a Betiko? What are you making to keep you warm this winter?

 

You might have noticed – thanks to happy yarn shop owners and booming orders – I’m not selling through an online shop anymore. You can get yarn, every month, in the mail (spun JUST for you) . . . → Read More: Betiko round-up

Betiko Bundle + Knitalong

2 months ago, sitting in a yarn shop, I feel in love. With a shawl. Betiko.

I wanted to cast on thisminute.

But I wanted to knit it out of my handspun.

Specifically, this color, which I’ve been squirreling away:

(spin a skein for the Boutique, then a little for myself)

And then I started thinking…. I love knitalongs. I know you love kits…

 

So I had to wait.

Wait until I could whip up a yarn+ knitalong combo. And….here it is!

Betiko Bundles!

All the yarn you need to knit a Betiko shawl.

The 2-color kits are almost sold out! I only have one left of the following:
