eye candy

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.

back to blogging

hello from kpixie world headquarters!  ;-)

Its been busy since the last time I wrote.  We moved the kpixie website to a more powerful server and updated our shopping cart software.  So you might notice faster browsing and a new layout.  It took many lady-hours to get it going and we hope you enjoy kpixie 2.0 as much as we do.  So, here are some things I MUST show you that flew under the radar while doing website work.

First up, my absolute new favorite yarn, Karabella Merino Superwash.

This yarn knits up as a worsted or aran weight, it has a very subtle sheen, duller than Aurora 8, which is good.  Has a mild merino halo and the twist is just gorgeous.  Jessica’s daughter knit this yarn into mittens as a dk weight and they look so great.  A totally versatile SUPERWASH merino, love it.

I’ve so far made two hats with this yarn.
Both of them cabled beauties, my favorite hats to date.

These needles are great, tried them for the first time at TNNA this June.
The stainless circulars are at a great price and the joins are close to perfect.  The bamboo double points are impregnated with resin to keep even the small sizes strong.  We’ve got more sizes and styles coming, don’t be afraid to ask us to order a size you need!
Browse the needles category to find the HiyaHiya’s you’re looking for.

Also, we’ve got some Mama Llama hand painted in stock!

Thats all for now.  Keep knitting!  The holidays are fast approaching… then it’s back to knitting for ourselves, right?!  ~missa
