Post-Rhinebeck winners

Thanks to everyone who commented on the Indie Untangled Trunk Show recap post! The winner of the stitch markers from Leticia of A Bit of Spark is Carol B, while Dee and Christine will each get a copy of PLY Magazine.

I still have a bunch of samples from Leticia that she generously sent to give out at the trunk show,…

Kicking off Rhinebeck the Indie way

In the months that I spent organizing this past Friday’s Pre-Rhinebeck Trunk Show, I wasn’t quite sure exactly how to envision it. I of course expected tables, racks and baskets full of gorgeous yarn and fiber, along with sweater and shawl samples, but I didn’t expect such beautifully designed displays, and the crush of people angling to get at it all…

A line of people waiting to get in and browse is something that you’d expect at the Jennie the Potter or Miss Babs booths at the festival (and I experienced plenty of that over the weekend)….

Pigeonroof Studios giveaway winner

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the Pigeonroof Studios giveaway. The winner is commenter #5, Stacey, who thinks a simple pattern is best for showcasing the skein of Silky High Twist Sock in Peacock:

I think a simple lacy shawl would be a great way to display your dying skills.

Congratulations, Stacey! That’s definitely my plan for whenever I decide which of the gorgeous colorways to add to my stash….

paper and yarn giveaway winner

The random number generator has spoken, and congratulations to Stacy, who will be getting a set of stitch markers from paper and yarn with two of the best four-letter words:

My three: aargh, wine?, oshit

In my experience, wine makes most things better, but unfortunately knitting is not usually one of them…

While I couldn’t participate in the giveaway, I did have fun coming up with some some pop culture-y and grumpy stitch markers of my own:

Legend WaitForIt Dary (yes,…

Lakes Yarn and Fiber giveaway winner

Thanks to all of you who participated in the Lakes Yarn and Fiber giveaway. The random number generator has spoken, and the winner of cabinfour’s He’e Nalu pattern and two skeins of Single Fingering is Sue:

It’s so hard to pick just 3! I like Beauty Bay, Depths, and Wintersong. Ami is wonderful. She did a custom dye job for me before and it was beyond perfect….

Untangling: Lakes Yarn and Fiber

Just like the semisolid skeins she dyes in the kitchen of her 100-year-old cottage in the mountains of northern Idaho, Ami Volz of Lakes Yarn and Fiber has many interesting layers. Growing up in Coeur d’Alene, a small town on the north shore of Coeur d’Alene Lake, Ami followed her grandmother, aunt and dad into nursing. When she’s not creating colors inspired by the natural beauty surrounding her in Idaho’s lake country,…

Astral Bath giveaway winners

No, that’s not a typo. I did mean to write winners with an S.

Cass is the first winner of the Astral Bath Yarns giveaway. She had a little trouble picking one movie:

I do love Indiana Jones and his whip 😉 but I’ll have to say Star Wars – Return of the Jedi
Love the ewoks, Princess Leia in that outfit and Admiral Ackbar!

Now,…

What to stash this week: Bag some bags (and yarn, and fiber)

I am SO excited for Vicki of That Clever Clementine: this week, she reached her 500-sale milestone on Etsy! What’s even better is that she’s offering 15% off all orders of $20 or more through June 10 with the code IndieUntangledJune. To celebrate, she’s also having a fun photo-related giveaway on Ravelry.

Speaking of giveaways, check this post for info on the last leg of the Berry Colorful Yarnings/Indie Untangled social media tour….

While you’re waiting to see if you’ll be one of four lucky winners, take a look at some of the other things on offer from our talented artisans.

I love all the things that I am discovering through Countess Ablaze‘s Twelve Caesars Collection updates….

Berry Colorful Yarnings giveaway ‘tour’

I hope you all had a relaxing holiday weekend and have been able to get back into the daily grind easily (those of you not in the U.S. can feel lucky to have had a head start on work this week). While having a lovely time with family and friends outside of the city — and when I wasn’t eating ice cream or spinach dip — I made a ton of progress on my Waterlily….
