Stocking Tuesday at Serenity Tree

I will have a medium size stocking tomorrow and I'm looking forward to this. I managed to whip out 3 handdyed yarns and 1 handspun yarns. I think I've spin faster this year. I managed to spin 3 pounds of yarn for January. WOW! I think it's a lot. Of course it depends on the fibers and if they're not compacted or felted, they're easier to draft and it goes faster (and of course nicer because there's less bumps)

Here's BRIGHT SUSHI. I've dyed the roving a few months ago and just haven't have a chance to spin it up. Though it's brighter (even brighter than the roving), it turned out quite nice. I'm hoping to spin some roving for the next GG stocking but I'm not sure if I can make it.

Yummy custom

I love how this turned out even though I don't think it's bulky enough.. It's combination between superfine merino and targhee, dyed by Beemer Knits.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year.. Sorry a little late. We have quite a long holiday break and was out of town a lot. Unfortunately we haven't been dyeing too much and will have minimal amount to offer this month. We're still waiting for the yarn to dry and I'm still unsure what to stock for this week.

I will be stocking at: Serenity Tree on January 6th , last Wonderland stocking on January 9th and Giggling Guppy on January 21st. Yes, I've dyed 2 munki sushi in 2 different yarn base and I will be offering them this week. BFL will be offered at Serenity Tree and BBR at Wonderland.

To kick some winter blues (and holiday blues).. I thought of doing something different and I did some kettle dyeing last weekend and will have 3 to offer this month. I also have some help from my sister who came and visit and we created a colorway that she dyed (under my supervision). I love it, the color is so soft and perfect for any baby girl. I've been busy spinning custom and I am still in a big custom spinning order. I won't be able to stock any handspun yarn this month.

Hope everyone has a nice holiday and I hope I will bring some yarny goodness that will satisfy everyone's pallate this year.

Handmade Christmas

Back to back blogging..

I also want to encourage you, my blogger reader to buy handmade as much as you can. Not only you are supporting work at home parents but be sure that you are buying items that come out from a lot of love in what they're doing. I know I can't buy 100% handmade but I am trying my best to at least give more than 50% handmade gifts this year.

October stocking

October stocking ended up to be a successful one. Thank you for all my customers for buying my yarns. The one that is unsold is one colorway, several handspun and one sock yarn. I know I'm taking a chance to have that in my store. However I managed to donate or trade some of the yarns. And now I only have 2 handspun left. We're going to have a second stocking of the month and I'd probably will try to stock one or two more.

True Colors Charity Event for the fall has generated more money than before. Thank you for Bella in Ireland, we managed to accumulate almost $80 to send to Red Cross.

The end of this month we will also participate in Celebrating Colleen at http://hyenacart.com/tinyladycooperative/. There will be hundreds of yummy fluff, wools and other items donated by a lot of awesome ladies that has been touched by Colleen one way or another. The event will run from October 28 thru November 4 2008. Please buy lottery and bid generously

August Stocking

I missed blogging about August stocking. I didn't have much time and I didn't take picture of all the yarns.
The stocking was pretty successful and there was only one that was unsold. Thanks everyone..
Actually 2, but I put the listing to expire within 3 days and I can't go back to change it because the stocking time has expire (we haven't paid for stocking).

Here's the unsold.. and it is available in my main hyenacart (hyencart.com/yarnoodles).
If you're interested but wanting to buy only 1 skein, let me know and just buy it. I will send you an invoice. I can't change the stocking because it has already expire and I didn't want to extend.

Yarnoodles celebrating July birthdays

I feel that I have nothing to look forward to on my birthday. Some year is better than others but I feel indifferent. I am about to change that by having a stocking to celebrate my birthday and also I invited other WAHMS whose also sharing the same birth month. So come and visit my store (hyenacart.com/yarnoodles) and see what we have in store for you.. Though Christmas is few months away but start thinking about special projects you want to make for your loved ones..

Contest soon!

I want to have a contest, but I don't know what it is yet. The prize is absolutely free yarn. I'll give you choices.. It could be handspun, it could be handpainted yarns.. But I want to see if anybody actually read this blog, so please post away in the comment.

Thanks!

Stocking tomorrow at ElevenThirty Congo

Third stocking is going to be set for tomorrow at http://hyenacart.com/eleventhirty. I won't be offering too many yarn becuase I'll be stocking in my own store in a week or so. Here's some sneakpeak for the tomorrow's stocking. I still haven't taken all the pictures yet. I also want to take pictures of all the yarns I've been dyeing in the last month or so including the ones that has been previously dyed too... However this is going to be the last big stocking for a while because I need to start with Christmas project soon.

Been busy knitting

I've been busy knitting for the last.. ugh, a couple weeks, and now dyeing too for the next stocking. The ElevenThirty congo stocking is earmarked for Friday, July 11th. Everything is dyed and also for the special stocking which is on July 22nd (I think). I need to wash some of them and reskein, lots of work.. and also take pictures. Spinning has been in the backbone, so I need to pick up my wheel again after I've washed, reskeined and take pictures for the Friday's stocking.. Meanwhile, here's what I have done so far:

Custom longies in bellbottom shape with ruffly goodness:




My first handspun finished object: It fits dd really good and I just love it..
