Hi everyone. Happy Friday. I hope all is well with you today. Unfortunately, nothing new to share. I did finish the witch cross stitch square I showed Wednesday, but had to move the cloth in the frame so now it isn't in a space to take a picture of it.
Work is keeping me busy, as mentioned, as I'm working toward the Vista Fiber Fiesta October 12-13. It's amazing to dye more colors than just purple. I still love purple, but after a month and a half of it, let me tell you, it's magic to my eyes to see multiple colors.
That's it for me. I hope you all have a great weekend. We're going to be hanging out at home, so hopefully I can find the knitting bug and have him bite me again.
Hi everyone. Happy hump day. I hope all is well. Thank you for all the awesome comments regarding Yarnbox. I'll have more posts about it coming soon (I really promise despite being a huge blog flake lately).
I have been in a knitting funk lately, which isn't good since I have to finish a sample shawl for my fiber show coming up the 12-13th of October. I just can't find my mojo and I'm sure breaking my needle last time I worked on it didn't help. I've been considering starting a fun whatever project that will fly off the needles like fingerless gloves or a hat, but then realize, if I spend all my time doing that, I REALLY won't have enough time to finish the shawl. Sigh.
Instead I've been having a GREAT time with the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's Halloween Sampler. It's pretty much what I've been working on every night. Isn't it adorable so far? I've done the first three squares and then am working backward on the 2nd row because I don't want to move my Q snap frame until I have to. It will spell Halloween when it is finished. And yes, that IS a Halloween themed needle minder!
Speaking of Halloween, Friday I will be releasing the October '13 colorway of the month. I am SOOO excited for it, that I couldn't help myself. For a sneak peek, head over to my Instagram account (@candyskein). Not only did I post a glimpse (or two) of the new color, I'm also taking preorders that will ship Friday morning!
That's it for me today. Have a great rest of your week.

Happy Friday! Today is a special FO for me, as I finally get to talk about my (finished) secret project I've been working on the past few months. Some of you may have seen the news a few days ago on either the Candy Skein Addicts Ravelry group, or my Instagram account, but thought I would share it here, especially since I plan to have more posts about the process.
I am so so so excited this day is finally here. Candy Skein Savory Fingering, which
is new to the CS line, is in the September shipment of Yarnbox.
For those of you who haven’t heard of Yarnbox, they are a
subscription box that is delivered each month (they have several
different subscription plans available). You don’t know what yarn you
will be receiving each box, so it’s super exciting! Each box contains
three skeins of the yarn, patterns, candy and sometimes even coupons for
the yarn in which you received.
Here is a picture of the yarn that you could receive in your box. One
the left is new colorway, Black Currant, and on the right is Grape
Soda.
Savory Fingering will be available soon on the website in these
colors, along with tons of the usual suspects. It is a 80% merino
superwash/20% nylon that has an unbelievable bounce and ply. In my
opinion the ply is very close to MadTosh Sock. Each skein is 400 yards
and will be $22 each.
I just wanted to thank you all for being so patient over the past few
months while I had to stay quiet about this, and also for understanding
when the shipments were a little slower, the site not fully stocked,
the monthly colorway a little late this month and mostly my posts being speratic here, while I tried to get the
Yarnbox order out the door.
So thank you! To everyone here for being so kind with lovely comments and still hanging in there despite not giving you much.
As mentioned earlier, I will have more posts soon about the process of dyeing a VERY large amount of yarn in a very small time.
Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay. I can't seem to keep track of what day it is lately and to top it all off, yesterday was my husband's birthday and we didn't get in until late. I'm going to try and be better, I promise.
Hi everyone! Happy Friday. I hope all is well with you. I don't have a FO to share today, but I do have some fun news. Unfortunately it isn't my larger news (which I get to share next week) regarding the secret project I worked on all summer, but it is still exciting.
