Abstract Fiber would like to invite you to join our yarn club! We are excited to offer a 6 issue yarn club we’re calling One Skein/Two Skein. Every other month we’ll send you a new exclusive yarn color and pattern. We’ll do some solid colors, some colorways and will introduce some new luxurious yarns too. Each pattern will have flexibility for expansion, for example companion pieces, or multiple size and style options. You’ll have the option to buy extra skeins just when you want them. Spinners, we’ll have a fiber option for you too! For 2013, some of the colors have been chosen and we have four fabulous designers (Donna Arney, Sivia Harding, Judy Becker, and Kristin Spurkland) on board so far. Check out all the details at AbstractFiber.com
While winter brings feeling of nesting or hunkering down, it also means a picking up a piece or two of handcrafts. The oven works overtime for those holiday family favorites, quilters stitch just a tad faster to complete works of art before gift giving officially opens, and knitters dash to their local yarn store to squeeze in one more scarf or pair of socks for that last minute gift. As you are crafting wonders, Bar-Maids continues to handcraft yummy goodness for your skin ... all to to help you....even if you continue to create into the wee morning hours. Bar-Maids handcrafts their products with natural skin loving oils and butters; everything your skin needs to keep it soft and moisturized and nothing it doesn't. Since you use our hands a tad more in this season, let Lo-Lo help keep them moisturized. It's simple! Get your hands wet, shake the water off and get your Lo-Lo on before you pick-up needle, cookie cutter, or drop spindle.

On the Needles:(0:37)
Gigi has finished some things: the Tiny Tealeaves Cardigan is done, and now needs buttons and grosgrain ribbon. We reminisced about this amazing dry goods vendor at Stitches West.
Jasmin waxed poetic about Ysolda Teague's cardigan that had lots of tiny buttons. She managed to knit on her Breezy Cardigan, while stuck under a sleeping baby.
Gigi is making good progress on the Victorian Girl's Coat. We were talking about buttons for that, too, and for two Shawl Collared Cowls. Jasmin also managed to knit three rows on her Daybreak Shawl.
Gigi is knitting a pair of Dashing Wristers for a young friend. Gigi also seamed the Ribbed Baby Cardigan that Jasmin had knit during the Ravellenic Games while watching Merlin on tv.
