I just had to try out the Sockotta yarn. I’ve been seeing lots of Sockotta socks on blogs and wanted to knit one up myself.

This is color 362, a “Casual Stripe” shade.
The speckles of red make the stripes blend, very cool.
Also, coming soon, a new quick crochet pattern using Karaoke yarn.
I call it “Northern Lights”, a fun decoration for winter!

I finally got around to digging through the new Winter 2007 issue of knitty and now have a few obsessions…
I want to knit Dahlia with Plymouth Galway
And oh my gosh! Stardust is so darn cute, and
we have a great Gossamer color in stock for it!
And what’s this? Another Disco Lights pattern? We just can’t get enough of this yarn huh girls.
Want to see one of the cutest puppy photos I’ve ever seen in my life? Check out the pattern Cables + Bits
And finally, I’m not really a shawl knitter, but the Jeanie pattern is amazing.
To take you back to knitty Fall 2004, remember the Hallowig?
here is mine from back in the day
silly, isn’t it

One more thing on this chilly November night… I wanted to share some photos taken at kpixie from the last year that never made it to the website, for one reason or another.
Eye candy! You can “steal” these photos for your blog if you like.

Wow! It has been almost 2 months since a kpixie blog entry.
That shows you how busy we’ve been around here.
It’s been a great 2 years since we opened shop, Jessica and I are planning some great additions for 2007. We are always on the look out for cool new products to add to the product line, and with your repeat customer support we can continue… thanks to all you kpixie fans!
Here is a photo from February 2005, in which the
store had 1/8th the amount of yarn it has now. Hard to believe.
Our goals for 2007 are very similar to our original ones. To bring you hard-to-find yarns, stay as natural as possible with the fiber content, support those knitters who do not have a cool yarn store close to home, photograph every yarn that comes into the shop, always choose yarns that we would knit with ourselves, and get your orders out fast fast fast. We hope we have satisfied your yarn cravings, we hope our customer support has lived up to our reputation, and we hope to keep you as friends in 2007.
Knit on!

The “make make” yarn from Olympus came in this week!
Didn’t get to do the “real” photo shoot,
but here is a preview of our new free hat pattern.
2 balls of “make make”
The yarn comes in a bag of 3 for $18.00, so cute!
Wool 90%, Mohair 10% (gives it a nice fuzz)
25g , 68yards per ball
I got about 6 sts to the inch on US 7 needles.
I would recommend US 6 or US 7 needles in most situations.
It’s between a dk and a light worsted.
Here is the green color in all it’s glory.
