Pam, of the Works In Progress blog, made these mittens with Blue Sky Alpacas Sportweight, aren’t they awesome?!  They remind me of a pattern that my grandmother used for a handknit handbag she made for my Mom… a classic look, great in the brown and white!

Lara of Yarn It finished the Girlfriend Swing Coat in Blue Sky Alpacas Dyed Cotton.  She added this cool lace pattern to the edges, love it!  For more photos of it click her blog link above.

2007 at kpixie

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!
