FO Friday 69


Hi everyone! I hope you had a great week. I'm happy it's Friday. This week seemed to never end and tomorrow I'm headed to my favorite yarn store with my knitting group to check out a Unique Sheep truck show! I can't wait as it should be a very fun day.

I just wanted to mention that if you're interested in purchasing the new Candy Skein mini set, The Blue Collection, be sure to do so soon. As I typed this, I only had 8 remaining out of 17!

As promised on Wednesday, I have a few hexipuffs to share that I made this week. I made a few back in December, but in the last few days I've been addicted to making these little guys. I thought I would also show you what they look like in my jar that I showed you awhile ago, now that I have a few more.

For those of you who haven't heard about the hexipuff craze, thousands of people are making the Beekeeper's Quilt by Tiny Owl Knits. At first I thought the craze was silly, until I started making them and now I can't stop. Right now I don't plan on making a quilt, as that's just too much to think about, but I'm keeping them in a jar as a pretty colorful addition to my family room.

Looking at all my puffs in the jar, I realized there was one other one you haven't seen, but I may be making it again anyway because my first three are way smaller than my newest. The newest are coming in closer to the pattern's gauge, where my first few were coming in at about 2.5" from point to point.

That's it for me. Have a great weekend!

Share your FOs!

Candy Skein- THE MINIS ARE INVADING!!!


Hi for the second time today, everyone! If you're on the blog looking for Work in Progress Wednesday, just scroll down! I normally do my Candy Skein post on Thursdays, but due to the holiday and travel, I had to bump it up. Sorry for the inconvenience. :)

I am SO happy to announce that I have the first set of mini skeins available starting TODAY in the store! I only have 17 sets, so please get them while they last!
