Wow, summer is really flying by already. We’re seeing Fall previews that are making the needles jump off the shelf.
Here are some summer ideas to take advantage of the cotton, linen, and silk before the Fall and Winter ideas start taking up room in our knitting baskets.
We have a whole list of great summer yarns right here, with photos!
The Shell Border Tee is a great knit, great price.
The Lace Tank is perfect for hot weather.
The Mystique Shawl is just gorgeous.
The Cotton Summer Wrap is always a huge hit.
We also have 7 new colors of BSA Skinny Cotton.
And don’t miss the new Blue Sky Alapcas patterns!
And sock knitters beware, Tilli Tomas Milan sock yarn is here!

Phew! Tons of photos to take this week. But totally worth it.
Take a look at the Tilli Tomas new Beaded Lace and Sequin Lace colors!
We also have a few new colors in Fil de la Mer. This silk and seacell fiber blend has a muted sheen compared to the 100% silk yarns.
Got some new Soie de la Mer colors too!
And 4 light colors in Disco Lights that we failed to bring you!
Natural, Natural with Lime, Stony Mist and Skydrop.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I cannot believe I have not yet added the new Loop-d-Loop to the blog!
What was I thinking?
These new all-weather yarns are great cotton blends to fill in that gap of “I like cotton, but don’t like knitting with it.” And the pattern collection is amazing.

The new yarn called Birch is a cotton and silk blend that must be touched to be believed. It reminds of Cashmere Canapa, a very soft feel for a cotton blend.
River is a worsted weight soft cotton that knits up light as a feather. Great Spring colors!
And here are just a few samples of the ultra cool patterns in Volume 2!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

New yarn from Karabella!
This is Lacampo, a DK weight dehaired llama and cotton blend. The fluff of this yarn must be touched in order to really appreciate this yarn. Has a nice halo and beautiful drape! We will have the other 6 colors in about 3 weeks from now. Use for any pattern calling for a dk weight cotton blend, especially those patterns that call for a cashmere/cotton, this yarn is WAY less expensive.
New notions including this new Chibi set
and some jumbo locking stitch markers, needle case, and circular holder.
We also stocked up on allhemp6 colors.
Tilli Tomas Sequin and Beaded Lace!
We have very limited stock, one of each color. But will be getting more soon! These skeins have been on backorder at Tilli Tomas for a while now, a real hot item. But new colors will soon be making the rounds at kpixie.
The Pretty in Punk book is here!
For those of who who like to rock… we salute you.

My mom Ria is an artist, her Daily Paintings blog showcases her daily artwork. The blog features small pieces, usually 5×7 and 10×10.
Her most recent “daily” is a pastel painting of coffee and a knitted piece with needles!
Click here to go to her blog and purchase it!
Or just browse around, lots of awesome mini-paintings and pastels to buy. Just take a peek at the left side menu for what is still available. You can view even more by clicking the monthly archives.
My favorite at the moment is the Frank Zappa oil painting… awesome.
You can also view her large works here, and her dog portraits here.
