The Knitter’s Book Case has gotten an expansion pack!

Earlier this spring, I introduced the Knitter’s Book Case, designed to hold multiple sets of interchangeable needles and leave lots of room for extras. But what if slots for up to 24 needle tips just isn’t enough? Introducing the Knitter’s Brief Case. This versatile interchangeable needle case can work as a standalone or as an add-on for the larger Knitter’s Book Case. With two pockets for cables, a large zippered pouch for notions and slots for up to nine pairs of needle tips, the Brief Case expands the capacity of the Knitter’s Book Case by more than a third, and has two slots devoted to really big needles – up to 15 mm.

Even when completely full, the Brief Case folds easily inside a jammed Book Case, adding only about 1″ to the width.

The Brief Case is also ideal for putting together a project-specific toolkit. Working on a pattern that calls for two needle sizes, three cord lengths, snips, stitch holders and a darning needle? Move them from your larger case to the Brief Case for the duration of the project.

Just like the Book Case, the Brief Case is made from 100% wool felt and suede and is cut and assembled by hand in Montreal.

If you like cute things – WeeOnes is the place to be. The last few months have been a time of intense creativity and the number of new stitch marker sets in my shop prove this. My new rainbow sheep are at a special 15% off discount for the rest of June. You get six brightly colored hand-sculpted sheep that are sure to add a little extra joy to your knitting and/or crocheting. Other recently added sets of four stitch markers include two different tabby cat varieties, opossoms, and newly revamped red panda stitch markers. Be sure to visit the shop because these sets are just the beginning!

If you like surprises — I have a June surprise stitch marker set. The theme this month is ‘Take to the Skies.’ You receive six different stitch markers that are offered at a special price and with free shipping.

As a knitter, I understand how important it is for stitch markers to be small and lightweight. All of my creations are just that. Miniatures make me smile and I think we could all use more smiles in our lives. All of my adorable stitch markers are hand-sculpted from polymer clay. I don’t use ANY molds. All markers can be purchased with either soldered rings or lobster claw clasps and come with a wee thank you note. Gift wrapping option available for an extra fee.

Lyrical Knits’ latest sweater pattern is designed to help you use up a skein or two of variegated sock yarn, minis, or even Fade leftovers. The colorwork pattern involves occasional slipped stitches, and you only ever use one strand of yarn on any round. The pattern is 30% off through June 22nd with no coded needed — the discount will be taken in your cart.

I love color. I mean, I REALLY LOVE color. A lot. As a small-batch indie dyer, I get my inspiration from the world around me. This summer, my little patio garden where I like to relax in the morning with my coffee is an explosion of blooms. This wonderful place is where I got the inspiration for my latest preorder colorways! “Barefoot in the Grass,” “Bourbon & Lime” and “Luminous” are the latest beauties to come out of my dye pots. Once ordered, they will be ready to ship in around two weeks.

We are also doing a first-time-EVER special October Mystery Gift Box! I have been planning this forever and ever and it has finally materialized! Although I can’t spill ALL the tea, I can tell you that it is a spooky-themed mystery weaving project with a bit of knitting incorporated into it (you must be able to knit in the round to complete the project according to the pattern.) It is super fun to do and will make a STUNNING wall decoration for that big Halloween party!

The kit includes yarn, pattern, accessories, loom frames and extra goodies. Once you open the box you are all ready to go — the only things you will need are your knitting needles, hooks and scissors. It makes a wonderfully unique and fun gift! There are a limited number of kits being produced this year so don’t miss out! The order deadline is September 15, 2020, and boxes start shipping on October 1!

HAPPY HALLOWEAVE!

My name is Amy. I have been knitting for about seven years now. For quite some time I have been wanting to get more involved in the knitting community. As a full-time mother of three and a full-time home care nurse I just didn’t have the time, or space, to learn how to become an indie dyer. I would love to say I am a good enough knitter to become a pattern designer but I think I would be kidding myself. While I love all things yarn, I have recently found that I love glass beads as well. Thus, Amy’s Trinket Shop was born.

All my trinkets are handmade right at my kitchen table. I am usually surrounded by my kids, husband and dogs, all who are clamoring to see what new thing I have created. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoy making them. Thank you in advance for your support.

PS – I’m having my first shop update coming soon.

We’re delighted to share our collaboration with our dear friend Sara of La Cave à Laine!

To celebrate the release of Tavolozza, a cozy shawlette that Sara has designed with our yarns, we’ll have a special shop update with lots of bundles, that were to be brought to Woollin – Ireland’s Festival of Yarn this weekend.

The yarn required for this mindless, relaxing summer shawl consists of a full skein of A Heavenly Blend in undyed Avena Heathery Pearl and three minis of A Chic Blend in different combinations we chose from our hand dyed palette, including some shades of the From Home Collection.

The gorgeous kits will include yarn and a code to download the shawl pattern on Ravelry, plus you’ll be able to choose between a hand-sewn zippered pouch or a hand-dyed organic cotton tote bag that Sara prepared for this special collab.

We assembled many yarns + accessory options to cover a wide range of colors from bold to pastel, but please note that they’re all limited quantities, as we’ve composed for this occasion from hand-dyed yarn and handcrafted accessories.

Kits will go live on our web shop on Friday, June 12 at 6 p.m. CEST

Pouches are made of 100% cotton, are hand sewn in different fabrics and feature a full zippered closure and multiple pockets inside.

Now that Outlander Season 5 has come to an end, we once again have untold months of waiting for a new season. Here’s where our Droughtlander 2020 kit comes in handy. This kit features three skeins of hand-dyed yarn to complete the included Ridge Wedding Shawl pattern created by KJH Knit Designs. We are also providing free shipping for all orders of this kit within the USA.

We’re a coven of two yarn witches trying to craft fiber magic. It’s a long distance coven, so we thought we’d open it up to yarn witches across the globe so we can spread our black magics far and wide.

Who Are We?
Emily O’Brien of Kitty With a Cupcake – Knitwear designer, podcast host, generally crafty AF.
Lauren Brien-Wooster of Valkyrie Fibers – Yarn dyer, maker of foods, creative boss witch.

We love collaborating together to make hand-dyed yarn and indie patterns that were born to be together.

Why Fiber Coven?
We’ve both broken into this weird and wonderful little world of fiber and we’d love to share our tips and experience with those who are looking to do the same. This is a space for fans who love our work and want more, aspiring fiber artists and curious yarn alchemists who want to see behind the scenes of what makes an indie fiber business tick.

What can I expect from Fiber Coven?
We will be sharing sneak peaks and behind the scenes content to our Inner Sanctum Patrons about our dyeing and design work. We will also be releasing weekly exclusive blog posts. These blog posts may feature magic such as tutorials, techniques, ideas, bujo layouts, recipes, homesteading tips, business knowledge and whatever other tinctures and potions we come up with! We have a Discord forum for patrons to chat amongst themselves and with us. We also are releasing weekly Office Hours videos where Lauren and Emily chat about their collaborations and projects via video. Exclusive patron only MKALs are coming!

Fiber Coven is committed to giving 10% of our proceeds each month to the cause/charity of our choice, prioritizing marginalized voices.

I love designing shawls. They are the perfect canvas for painterly color touches. Aquarelle was inspired by my favorite French painter, Marie Laurencin. In her watercolors, women in flowy scarves, with flowers surrounding them, take the center stage. Her colors lean towards peaches and celadons with a unique translucent quality.

Aquarelle echoes Marie Laurencin’s colors, with celadons and peaches in two different saturations. The creamy background against which the colors play illuminates them.

The naturally dyed colors, which I created for Aquarelle, marry beautifully, in perfect, peaceful harmony. Colors and geometric shapes appear in a random fashion, like the flowers in a wild garden. The shawl grows organically.

Aquarelle is knitted almost entirely in garter stitch with a fingering weight yarn on US5 needles. Chevrons and bobbles, as well as a very simple, very open edging bring dimension to the shawl. The changes in color and pattern keep you entertained, guiding you to the next section.

I chose to make Aquarelle a large shawl, so you can easily wrap yourself in it. The arched crescent shape makes it easy to wear.

The Aquarelle kits are hand dyed using natural dyes only. I am offering two kits, one dyed on our Pure base, a 100% non Superwash Merino, and the other on our Amelie base, a Superwash Merino.

Visit our website to get the pattern, which will be free for the first 24 hours after its release, and to purchase your kit.

Our next update will be on Friday 12th June at 8 p.m. UK time. This update will be the beautiful Hayton DK and Bowland 4ply so we have a great combination of British bluefaced leicester in the Bowland, and Merino, cashmere, and nylon in the Hayton. Both are gorgeous yarns but in totally different ways! If you want to know more about the differences between the fibres of the two breeds check out our blog post on the subject. Hayton DK is soft, squishy, and cosy.. whilst Bowland 4ply is much more woolly, soft in a different way, and has a sort of light drape to it. If you’ve got really sensitive skin then something like Hayton DK will suit you better than the BFL yarns. I’ve done larger batches of the DK (as usual!) so that you can get sweater quantities if you wish, and there are lots of semi-solid colourways so that you can do things like lace and textures without losing the stitch pattern amongst lots of colours. There are variegated colourways too though, of course! Also worth noting is that Snow Leopard is back! It sold out in minutes last time so I thought I’d best make some more for those who missed out. ❤️

While planning our Bowland 4ply update Laura reminded me about the Royal Mile shawl by Justyna Lorkowska aka Lete’s Knits. We released this as a collaboration at Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2017. It uses two skeins of Bowland 4ply and you can play around with the colours to really personalise it. The sample below is made using two balls each of Milburn 4ply in Althaea and Natural. We have copies of the pattern available on the website and we also have add-on kits. Add-on kits let you choose the yarns and colours you want for your kit and we package them up with the pattern, a project bag and a sachet of soak. Simply add the yarns and the add-on kit to your basket and we’ll do the rest. Check out the Kits section of the website to find all available add-on kits — there are loooooads!
