I was wandering around the yarn today and picked up some handspun…
There are some perfect color matches in the Karaoke yarn!

I don’t need to tell you the new issue of Knitty is out. In celebration of this rockin issue, here are some things I noticed…
1. the cover design Arisaig is knit with a vintage yarn. She recommends Jaeger Matchmaker 4 ply as a substitution, Aurora 4 will also knit up to the same gauge!
2. the Lady B knitting bag by Lexie Barnes was reviewed in the “cool stuff” section!
click here and scroll down, and view our selection of Lexie Barnes bags
3. Lacey is knit with Blue Ridge Yarns Brushed Mohair… I can’t find that yarn on the internet! But I do know that we just got that color of Karabella Lace Mohair… I wonder if it would knit to gauge? hmmm. What a cool pattern.
4. Bubby is so cute! I just had to make him right away,
and in a matching color to my Baby Bobbi Bear.

5. I’ve always been a Jennifer Thurston fan, here is another reason why.
6. You know we are handspun lovers, in the “covet central” section there is a website I have never seen! It’s called Fun with Yarn

Here are two new scarf patterns available in the Free Patterns section.

Yes, these scarves are the result of my love of Karaoke yarn…
I just can’t get enough of it! ;-)

When Karabella Lace Mohair showed up I had to try it out.

I found it to have great stitch definition for lace projects.
And the kicker?… low shedding! That’s right, my lap wan’t covered in “mohair dust” after working with it for 30 minutes. Cool!
