This month I’ve added three new critters to the end minder lineup. The new playful pups and curious kittens are here to stay. The Mindful Manatees are a March limited edition exclusive. 🙂 

First, we have the Playful Pups! These pups can’t wait to pounce on your project. Like the Lovable Lambs, they’ll happily play tug of war with your loose ends to hold six inches to one yard of lace, fingering, or sport weight yarn snug against your stitches. A one-foot yarn length will give them the cutest tummies possible. 

Next, we have the Curious Kittens!  Like their real-life counterparts, these cutie pies can’t wait to chase down your yarn tails. They’re purrfectly content to sit on your yarn joins and make those multi-skein projects even more pawspurrous.

Last, but certainly not least we have the Mindful Manatees! These gentle giants are ready to float on the edge of your project keeping cast-on tails and loose ends tamed for supremely serene stitching. The more yarn they hold, the cuter they get. These meditating, mindful Manatees are only here for March, so bring home a set today to make your crafting efforts go swimmingly!

My new Colors of Love shawl pin celebrates the many ways we all give and receive love — fostering an inner light as warm and bright as this diamond’s sparkle.

It’s available on all four of my settings, both to suit your unique style and commemorate a special facet of friendship. Warm gold brings to mind romantic love, rose gold the playful love of friendships, silver the shining example of community care, and rich, earthy bronze for family love, the first we give and receive. 

The bead itself is multifaceted to capture the light and surrounding colors. To me, it represents how each loved one we have brings out a unique piece of ourselves. Together, the best in us shines bright. 

This month’s glittering and lacey new offerings arrive perfectly timed for Monday’s deadline. All orders placed by December 14th will ship in time for Christmas within the USA!

My winter collection makes a glitzy and glamorous debut with this month’s limited edition end minders. This helpful herd will make for a gorgeous and glittering gift in your choice of Suavest Sheep, Lovable Lambs, Bunny Hugs, Crafty Cats, Dependable Dogs, or an assortment of all! Which animal would you like guarding your ends?

Next up is my Victorian Christmas Collection. Whether you prefer to style your beautiful work with a shawl pin or vegan leather shawl cuff, I’ve got a lacey style for you. The new cuff features a sophisticated lace print for a truly timeless style. The intricate scrollwork of these paired pins shines in your choice of warm gold or wintry silver.

Introducing new End Minder shapes just in time for the holidays: Crafty Cats and Dependable Dogs!

As with the Suavest Sheep and Bunny Hugs these cute critters are designed to keep your cast on tails, color changes, and other loose ends tidy and out of the way as you knit or crochet. They’ll make a pawsome stocking stuffer for any animal loving stitcher, and I believe that there are quite a few of you in my community. Which new furry friends will mind your ends?

First, we have the purrfect pal for your project — the Crafty Cats! Available in both black and white, these pawsitively adorable pals knead a purpose. They can easily be purrsuaded to spend their days playing with your yarn.

Have you heard the bark about town? The Dependable Dogs are here to help! These pawsome pups are the ultimutt end minder. If yarn ends are making your life ruff, just place your tail against their hearts, wrap it around, and secure your new stitch pet’s sweater.

Since the mornings finally have that crisp breeze that signals a new season, I thought it was about time to share my newest shawl pins. These Charmed Styles range from wilderness finds to spooky delights. I can’t wait to see which projects you style with these! 

My favorite of these new additions is the Rowan Leaf. In traditional folklore, this tree is said to grant protection — especially to travelers. Its power was to keep those on a journey from getting lost. Since each of us have our own unique path to follow, I thought this charming talisman would be a special treat for all. 

This fall’s special edition end minder set captures the beauty of fall in brilliant red, bold orange, and crisp yellow. Whether you’d like to hop into cozy knits with Bunny Hugs or graze your way through worsted WIPs with Suavest Sheep, there’s a set for every stitcher — including an assortment with lambs, rabbits, and sheep to adorn all of your autumn projects.

Perhaps it’s a little early for these cool-weather companions, but I thought we could all use a colorful reminder of cozy days to come. I hope they’ll inspire all of us to make a change that matters, whether it’s craft or life related. Celebrate the splendor of the transitional season to come with Leaves of Change! ????
