Oh my goodness. Drove to Bowden yesterday (with a stop in Red Deer to go record hunting) to visit the in-laws and conveniently stumble on #oldsfiberweek! I was so excited/in love with the room full of local fiber artists and retailers I didn't think to take a single photo or video! So snaps of my haul will have to do 😉 . . 1. Yarn! From left to right: @ancientartsyarn (80/20 sw merino/nylon) sock in Inuit Art. I instantly fell in love with this purple-grey base and it's green, gold, purple and wine splashes. This will make an appearance in my Find Your Fade soon, and possibly some Canadiana socks for #sockbash2017.; @fleeceartist_handmaiden (100% sw merino singles; no colorway listed. This will be added to my Find Your Fade as well, and damn, it is gorgeous!; and last but not least, @flockfibre (80/20 sw merino/nylon Take a Hike Sock in the colorway Midsummer). When I saw his color I had to have it, so bright and fresh and vivid. Love, love, love. . . 2. I finally have a proper notions bag! This one called to me from the @ladydragonflystudio display, mashing two of my passions together (the all things fiber with the vinyl). I'll be back for more, I'm certain. . . 3/4. Dude. This knitting needles case from @crimson_orchid was $20! I've been trying to sort out a storage solution for my needles and this is so beautiful. And people, she ships free within Alberta for order $25 and up. Come on! Big fan 💜 . . . #yyc #knitting #fiberarts #oldsfiberweek #handspun #indiedyer @olds.college Date night, courtesy of @cbchomestretch and @jazz_yyc (won tickets. Thank you!) Amazing live music by @malloryjane5 and band, and tasty treats at @ironwoodstage. . . #yyc #datenight #marriedlife #jazzfest My first ever ChiaGoo red lace circulars finally arrived in the mail yesterday, and man, do they live up to the hype. Amazing needles. *Adds ChiaGoo Twist interchangeable set to Amazon wishlist* . . So now I am finding my fade. Cast on yesterday and, after a trip to @puddingyarn, started my first melt using this beautiful Rowan handpainted yarn (45% wool, 20% mohair, 25% polyamide and 10% silk). . . #findyourfadeshawl #knitting #knitstagram #yyc #wip Came home last night to yarn in the mail! Best days ever. I'm going to knit so many socks. . . Got my four skein haul from the @fiber.for.the.people launch, which includes: Granny's Tea Dress (a beautiful, deep-hued misfit) on 80/20 superwash merino/nylon (Tayler's Favorite); Peach Pit and Purl Jam on 75/25/5 superwash merino/nylon/gold stellina (Gilded); and Hyper-color Shirt on 75/25 superwash merino/nylon (Workhorse). Cannot wait to knit with these - they're even more gorgeous in person. Congratulations again, @woolneedleshands, on a wonderful rollout. And thank you for the other goodies! . . From home (Canada, but a long way off in Quebec) a beautiful made-to-order skein of 80/20 superwash merino/nylon blend in teal and yellow with red and purple speckling by @missfarfelue1. The colorway is aptly, La vita e Bella 💖. Thank you for the beautiful pearl stitch markers, Dominique, I wasn't expecting a treat! . . #indiedyer #knitstagram #yarn #stash
