Welcome to the Month of Love, a whole month of couples-inspired yarn! Have you suggested a couple yet?
My best-friend-since-High School, Jamie, suggestedthis yarn.

But even though I love Jamie, that’s not why I spun it.
I spun it because I’m obsessed. With her humor, with her love story (which will soon be a book!), with her recipes, with her beautiful photographs.
I just couldn’t resist trying to recreate the feeling of her site. The sunset oranges, the faded-Wrangerl blue, the pale green of her jadite dishes.
I named it Pioneer Woman + Wranglers, because . . . → Read More: Month of Love, Day 7: Pioneer Woman + Wranglers

But never fear! The Month of Love will return to tomorrow and it shall return without end.
Yep! Non-stop yarn, everyday until February 14.
Until then, check out the yarns in the shop.

Spongebob + Patrick
Sponge + Starfish Yellow + Pink Friends Forever
