When You Out of 1 Skein…
| January 17, 2020 | Filled under Yarn, Yarn Talk |
One of thousand reasons why I adore craft community and so blessed to be a part of it! ⠀
Usually I buy more than enough yarn for any project, but I did not expected that Kristin will ask for pretty boxy sweater so I run out of a skein – one… single skein of CoBaSi in natural color 003 from dye lot #17. I did not see any problem and ordered couple skeins from same Little Knits yarn store. But oh my, the skeins from lot #21 looked too different and so pinkish than my original. ⠀ ⠀
I tried to find yarn from the same lot, but no luck. So, I found and ordered yarn from several places: Webs, Ravelry, eBay, Jimmy Beans Wool with a hope that at least one of them will match. Can you the differences? ⠀
And… while waiting my yarn orders, I got a note from Linda Lynn (Abundant Yarn Online, www.abundant-yarn.com), that she has 2 partial leftover skeins from dye lot 17, totaling 65 grams, that she would be happy to send me! YAY! So, I was able to finish Kristin’s sweater right before Christmas! Oh, and Linda refused to charge me for yarn, just shipping costs. ⠀
And, then ladies from LittleKnits.com found two skeins from the same dye lot 17 too! ⠀
Thank you so much dear ladies from me and my Kristin!!! You are the best!!!😍😍😍 ⠀ ⠀
Kristin’s Sweater
| January 15, 2020 | Filled under Creations |
… It’s that moment when your 18 years old (not a big fan of handmade) daughter asked for a sweater—something very basic and no pink 💙🤓
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
It was the last and most lovely project of 2019, and the first one made with CoBaSi (I posted about this yarn few posts below). Not to mention that I am on half way with a sweater for myself in the same style. I changed some details and mine is going to be in teal color—stay tuned!

Hello and Welcome 2020!!
| January 3, 2020 | Filled under Holidays |
Hello and welcome 2020!! 💙🎉 I am so excited for you!! 🥰
We are still enjoy the visit of our best friend from California. And even Seattle “pleased” us with a whole week of rains and storm, we still had a wonderful New Year celebration, visited most of our lovely friends, went to see a snow (40-minutes drive from us) and our local German village. And today we have about 4 hours before the next rain, so we are off for some hike 🤓
