The Manly Art of KnittingAugust 2nd, 2010 by tink
Okay, I admit it might seem like a simple question… but I travel a lot and see all of these people on their devices. ALL the time. Pulled in every direction but home. That takes a toll. And I know that knitting is a great way to center oneself and quiet the jangle… A lot of very high powered women knit to ease stress, as a practice, like yoga. But why don’t more men knit? Is it really just societal norms? Anyways… what is this cowboy making? Kinda’ fun to think about… Hannah: Palindromic KnitterJuly 29th, 2010 by tinkDon’t you love a good panlindrome? Have y’all met Hannah? Hannah can knit backwards and forwards and inside out and upside down. She speaks FRENCH. Ohlala, n’est ce pas? Here she is! And here she was a few years ago with her intarsia Bob Marley bag… She is palindromegirl on Ravelry. Say hi!

Why I Love Yarns in the FarmsApril 13th, 2010 by tinkJust a few blessings to share… After reading about Sarah Hackett and Haiti Projects, A group of home-schoolers were inspired to help. Children and their parents spun, dyed, and knit wool to make a quilt. They raffled the quilt and donated the proceeds to Haiti Projects!
Wait, there is more! and here is the one Barbara saw in her imagination! And the greens are so luscious, that I wound up some new Sprout organic cotton… And then, as I was working on my new Emmaline, a little fairy touched the yarn
The Genius Cluster Yarn Crawl Floofy SkirtMarch 30th, 2010 by tinkY’all remember Jan, the knitting prodigy discovered right here in Yarns in the Farms? I do believe we have an active Genius Cluster at work right here in Beverly Farms. Henceforth, her royal eminence Jan shall be called The Floofy Queen. Floofy Queen went out on the North of Boston yarn crawl, and lookie here what she whipped up with all of her goodies…
I Heart Linen.March 22nd, 2010 by tinkOkay, y’all… On my needles: Debbie Bliss Tunic Dress from Coastlines book… I am using Louet Euroflax linen in a salmon color, instead of silk, because I LOVE linen. I have the bodice portion done, and it is GORGEOUS. Perfect for summer and beaches and knitinis. I went ahead a blocked it before picking up the stitches and knitting the skirt, because I love the way the linen softens up in the soak, and I just couldn’t wait! AND, I am knitting the Collared Cardigan, also from Coastlines, out of Debbie Bliss Firefly, a blend of linen and viscose. Did i mention that I love linen? The Firefly has a very different feel than the Euroflax. The fibers are a bit more haloed, and don’t lie as smoothly. Can’t wait to see how it washes up! Wink is knitting a sweet little shell out of Debbie Bliss Pure Silk, from the new magazine, in sapphire blue, and can’t stop fondling the luscious fiber… Anna is using the new Debbie Bliss Amalfi, another linen blend, with cotton and silk, and is in love. What are y’all making now in anticipation of the warmer months? |
