Month: May 2016

Need a little project? Or a big one? Know someone just learning to knit? How about the ultimate gift for the gifted knitter? Our new package has it all:

A mini-tote project bag, quilted shell, fully lined, 2-6 pockets for needles and notions, embroidered. 7.5″ x 6″ x 4″

 

 

 

 

 

A skein of Studio E Backyard Boys yarn: this one is 80 yds. worsted weight in Nancy’s Long-Ass Winter Shetland colorway.  Alpaca, shetland, mohair, and custom blends available, dyed or natural. Prices vary by fiber and length.

A pair, or set of handcrafted birch needles, straight or circular,

…and for the beginner, a simple pattern for an ear/neck warmer.

The basic beginner’s kit is $95. Prices will vary for custom kits. Contact us today!

 

We are happy to announce our most recent endorsement–Artemis M., pictured above, has given us her paw of approval. Our bags are cat friendly, cat comfy, and totally cat-nap worthy!

For those unreasonable humans who want a bag exclusively for themselves, don’t forget our nifty cat beds!

–All necessary apologies to Eddie Rabbitt, but the blueberry bushes and I prefer a rainy day and today I’ve been getting my wish. Rainy days mean I don’t have to feel quite so guilty for not being outside building fences, or mowing lawns, or cutting firewood, or making that new hay shed. I can stay in and spin, sew, embroider…(notice that cleaning the house is not on that list?). The boys don’t seem to mind it either, since it means the pastures grow up almost as fast as they can eat them down.

Today I’m hard at work designing a new project–the ultimate in handcrafted knitter’s kits. This kit will feature a quilted, embroidered mini-tote with pockets for needles and notions, a skein of handspun yarn featuring the Boys of Studio E, a pair of handcrafted wooden knitting needles, and an original pattern for a hat, neckwarmer, or other one skein item. Pre-orders and custom orders welcome!
