It’s been awhile since I’ve wrangled enough yarn together for shop update, but one is finally happening on Saturday, February 7th at 10 AM PST. It will be in the Etsy shop, not at my website. There will be sweater quantities of Sport, DK and Worsted weight yarn as well as a smattering of fingering and some new kidsilk lace.
A few of the yarns that Michelle dyed up for the special Indie Untangled shop remind me of Valentine’s Day, so I decided that a little gift was in order. From now through Feb. 15, buy any two skeins from the Berry Colorful Yarnings/Indie Untangled Pop-up and you will receive one pattern of your choice FREE from one of these Indie Untangled designers:

Wicker is a new asymmetrical (and completely reversible!) shawl pattern that is perfect for fingering weight yarns, especially my Journey (100% superwash merino) yarn. The name of this pattern is directly tied to the openwork panels of this shawl. The design, when blocked, appears to be very similar to the traditional wicker furniture pattern that I grew up with. If you grew up in the ’70s and ’80s like I did, then you will recognize this pattern from the wicker furniture craze. A nifty feature of this pattern is that, because it involves quick-knit garter stitch, it knits up and blocks equally well no matter what your knitting style happens to be. It also happens to be a great shawl pattern for novice knitters.
If you are like me, then you want your shawls to have the ability to double as scarves. This pattern makes a very attractive scarf, by the way.
Wicker is available on Ravelry, on Craftsy, and on Zibbet.com in my shop as a pdf download.
No reason to hide your shapely legs in the chilly weather. These legwarmers are shaped from ankle to calf to hug without bagginess. Twisted stitch diamonds spark up the ribbed design and make it an engaging knit.
This design is suitable for knitters who are comfortable knitting, purling, working increases, and working in the round on dpns. The twisted stitch pattern is given in both charted and written out forms. The pattern consists of 3 pages, and had been test knit and professionally tech edited. It is available as a pdf instant download.
We are buried in snow here in Downeast Maine! Take 20% off this pattern through February 10th, 2015 with coupon code snow.
Melodia is fun & lightweight one skein project with soft garter stitch and airy eyelets.
Perfect for showcasing the delicate nuances of exquisite yarns.
Like all my designs, it combines Scandinavian minimalism and simplicity with femininity and coziness.
Happy knitting!
We’ve just added to our Better Breakfast line and we’re mad with excitement! It’s been a long wait and the anticipation has left us in a silly stupor!
Better Breakfast is a line of yarn inspired by our Breakfast Blend, a luxury alpaca blend. Better Breakfast is a remarkably soft, springy yarn that takes Bare Naked Wools to a new level of luxury. The dehaired alpaca is sourced and spun in Ohio and gives each skein a truly buttery feeling. You will love to squish this yarn as much as you will love to knit with it! The yarn creates a soft yet extremely durable fabric, perfect for a breathable, long-lasting sock or accessory. The wool blend is tolerated even by the most sensitive of skins due to the dehairing process, which removes the tickly, fuzzy hairs in the yarn.
Included in our list of delectable favorites are: Milk and Honey, Americano, Daybreak, Muesli, and Porridge. We’ve now included Biscotti, Warm Coals and Sugar Frost! Better Breakfast is offered in both Fingering and DK weights. Don’t you think its time that you indulged in a Better Breakfast?
Nothing says “new year” like new spring colours so I’ve created a few more shades to add to the opulent BEYUL — yak/silk/Merino blend. The full range of colours are now available in shop!
The full range will be previewed in the flesh at the upcoming fibre festival Unravel… and if you are in France for l’Aiguille en Fête 2015, you can also fondle the blend at L’OisiveThé’s booth! Hope to see some of you there! 😉
Get more knitting (or crocheting!) enjoyment out of one of our best-loved yarns this year! We’ve bumped up the yardage on our yak and bamboo blend yarn, Lhasa Wilderness, and we are passing the savings on to you. If you’ve resolved to add more fiber to your diet this year, let us make it easy: our hand-dyed Outlandish Colorways now have 30% more yarn in each skein of Lhasa Wilderness at NO extra cost to you. It really doesn’t get better than that! Make sure your fiber diet has plenty of yak by visiting www.bijoubasinranch.com today!
Love to knit? Love showing off your passion for knitting to the world? Love cute and comfy shoes?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, this item is for you!
This past summer a friend of mine introduced me to the idea of making dyed canvas shoes. I decided I NEEDED a pair with knit stitches on it, since so much of my life revolves around knitting. These photos are of that pair, and let me say they are super comfy and have held up very well.
I have been wearing my special shoes to various knit themed events and everyone is always in awe of them. So much that I finally decided to offer them to other knitters like myself, completely custom made for you! You pick your size and color and I do the dying and drawing! The end result is something I know you will love wearing again and again!
Stay tuned because I plan to start making more items with knit stitches drawn on them – It’s so much fun!
Toasty toes are key for winter. Everyone wears socks, why not wear fashionable and warmly welcoming socks? I agree that the white tube socks have their place in the gym or for rolling around curlers but they are not for everyday. Make a statement with your feet and help us show off our newest product. Gradient double knit sock blank! All of the luscious colors from our gradient minis skeins spread over an easy to use blank. These are the coolest things to make two identical socks. A blank is yarn that has been knit into a long rectangle of one layer. The blank unravels from one end easily and you can knit directly from the blank. Or, wind a center-pull ball for a more traditional approach. The “right” end will unravel smoothly; the “wrong” end has a lockstitch at both edges. These blanks have been dyed with the a subtle transition from one shade to the next kept in mind. This color change occurs once across the entire skein and will have a soft heathered appearance when knit.
Keep an eye out, many more colors are on the way!
