I can’t wait…
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.

SWTC Bear and a New Pattern!
The South West Trading Company Cuddly Bear just had to be knit, so who was up for the task?! Kaity of PunkRockKnitter. She has been knitting lots of bears lately and I knew she would do a great job, thanks Kaity!
And here she is, so cute!!
The bear is now with Jessica’s daughter (which she named “Lady Halloween”) who will test it for kid abuse. We are going to take photos two weeks from now and see how the yarn holds up.
Also, I crocheted a new hat for the free patterns section… available very soon!
I’m working on a matching scarf pattern as I type this post.
update… here are the new patterns!!

New Store Name
Hello girls!
We wanted to let you know about our new store name.
It’s a small change, from knitpixie to kpixie.
We’re still the same woman owned and operated company,
Jessica and I are still here for you!
We were approached by a large corporation that threatened a lawsuit unless we changed our name. They thought our store name was too similar to theirs. We did not feel that anyone would confuse the two stores, but to avoid a lawsuit we decided to change our name. We chose the knitpixie name carefully and were very attached to it, but we think the new name is just as cool!
Please email us info@knitpixie.com if you have any questions.
We will be located at the new domain name (kpixie.com) by November 15th!
All newsletter subscribers will be notified when the change is made,
and you will still be able to reach the online store by typing in knitpixie.com

Vesper Socks!
The oh-so-popular Vesper sock yarn is in stock.
Did you see it the Oct/Nov 2005 BUST magazine?
It’s on page 40, Booty Call, listed as one of their favorites…
and here are the two socks I’ve knit, one in Aqua Melon (which is the same one shown in the magazine! I got a call from BUST to knit a sock in a couple hours and ship it out overnight, unfortunately I only got to the heel… but hey! the sock is now famous!)
and one in Midnight Knitter (inspired by my own blog!)
