I love video games. I could easily waste full days exploring fantasy worlds, and fighting strange beasts. SO, with that in mind, I wanted to dye some yarn inspired by two of my absolute favourite games to exist: Final Fantasy (specifically 8) and the Elder Scrolls (specifically Oblivion). So, without further ado, here they are!
Brothers is inspired by the Guardian Forces from Final Fantasy VIII, and is dyed purple, red-pink and brown. The Brothers are a surprisingly cute pair of Minotaurs, who team up together to play badass Stone, Paper, Scissors. I loved the quest to fight and get them — and it seemed only right to make a nice earthy, purply-red colourway inspired by them.
Tonberry is inspired by the Guardian Forces from Final Fantasy VIII, and is dyed yellow, green and brown. So, Tonberrys are adorable. Right. Even when they are shambling towards you, brandishing a chef knife ready to stab you in the belly. But, wait — look at the cute little turtle-face and sad little eyes. Awww.
Shiva is inspired by the Guardian Forces from Final Fantasy VIII, and is dyed yellow, turquoise, yellow, white and purple. Shiva was always my favourite summon in Final Fantasy, and I loved the progression of her throughout the games. I wanted to make an icy, but still colourful approximation of her colours.
Harcane Grove is inspired by The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and is dyed blue, green and brown. Harcane Grove is a beautiful, quiet grove in Oblivion. Quiet except the for brutal Minotaurs and bloodthirsty unicorn that is. But how could I not make a yarn based on a place with a unicorn??
All of the above yarns are also on my brand new base, a lovely, soft, plump BFL Aran, perfect for making hats, gloves, shawls — anything you want really. Currently all are in stock in my shop.
In addition to this I also trialled a new type of base, Jacob DK. It is GORGEOUS. I’m completely in love, it’s so squishy and lofty. There’s just one skein of it in my shop at the moment, but there will be more added soon. For now, here’s the one, special skein.
And, last but not least, Moon Sugar is inspired by The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and is dyed pink, grey and white.
Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Doctor Who, and Firefly come together in this unisex bag great for all fans! Hurry this is limited and only while supplies last!
Introducing Endearment, a collaboration between The Uncommon Thread and Hanna Maciejewska. Kits will be going up for sale online on 23 June at 4 p.m. BST. (The pattern will be exclusive until Sept. 23, then it will be released for public sale through Ravelry.)
Endearment is a romantic, delicate and very feminine cardigan, looking equally flattering over a light summer dress or paired with your favorite jeans. Worn open or buttoned, it is visually slimming by way of combining Hanna’s signature entirely seamless construction with just the right amount of added waist shaping, eliminating bulk in unwanted areas.
The intricate cable and lace pattern over the fronts looks much more complicated than it actually is, but is easy to knit, especially since it is all charted. Longer hems and cuffs with decorative splits, a novelty for Hanna’s style, are sure to please everyone looking for “that special extra” in a new cardigan!
New buttons in the shop and more coming, today’s preview is going to stay along the same theme though. I sent in samples for the Phat Fiber box and the theme was on Birds, so …. that’s what I’ve made, birds, birds, and more birds! I mean I haven’t made birds, but bird buttons. : )
Thank you all so much for looking! Here’s a link to the newest buttons added to the shop.
~ Birds on a line ~ Goldfinch buttons ~ Hummingbird silhouette buttons ~ Birdhouse buttons ~ Cardinal buttons ~ Whitewashed bird buttons ~ More hummingbird buttons ; ) ~
There will be an update today, Friday 13 June at 4 p.m. BST. For your local time, please click here.
We are thrilled to be adding a new base to the line-up at Invictus Yarns! SportMaster is the sport-weight version of our popular Master of My Feet base, with 328 yards per 100-gram skein. With 80% superwash Merino and 20% nylon, it’s perfect for socks, shawls, gloves, garments… the possibilities are seemingly endless!
I’m so excited to join all the talented artisans on this site and become an “official” Indie Untangled vendor!
The yarn ball bags that Vicki of That Clever Clementine created as a giveaway to celebrate the launch are now available for sale. We are starting off small and taking a limited number of preorders of “Belle” drawstring project bags and “Snapdragon” notions pouches, which are the perfect accessories for any knitter. Visit the new Indie Untangled Shop for all the details and to place your order. For now, you can purchase one of each bag, but we plan to make more depending on the response.
At Bijou Basin Ranch, we’re counting down the days till the premier of Outlander this August! As longtime fans of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander book series which is now being made into a TV show, we were inspired to create a spectrum of “Outlandish” hand-dyed colorways for two of our most popular and luxurious bases. For the first time ever, our Merino and Yak blend yarn, Himalayan Trail, is being dyed in our Outlandish colors which encompass a broad spectrum of semi-solid hues. Our versatile Yak and Bamboo blend yarn, Lhasa Wilderness, is also available in the Outlandish semi-solid hues, and there are also four variegated “Tartans.” ALL bases and colors are in stock and ship within 24 hours!
This month’s special buttons are also a “new release.” 😉 Mustache buttons! I have only done them in two colors so far, red and blue, but they can be done in any color and size. If you want the color changed, either contact me to have a custom order (no extra charge) or just leave a note when you check out letting me know what color(s) you want.
So, for all of June this set of five 5/8″ buttons is on sale for only $6!!! Any colors!
Here are the links for convenience: Blue Mustache buttons and Red Mustache Buttons! Thanks so much for looking! Have an awesome day!
P.S. “I really mustache you a question, but I’ll shave it for later.” 😉
