My little buddy

It's finished and blocked. My fourth Nightshift. I highly recommend Dream State for the shawl. I can pretty much guarantee that I will be taking a few skeins from next week's order for another one.


Alexis has two new patterns - the Dark Arts Cowl and the Dark Arts Hat.

Don't miss out.

Alexis used a skein of Hedgehog Kidsilk Lace with a skein of Long Dog Singles for the cowl. Long Dog is in the store but not on the website yet. Any single ply, fingering weight yarn will work - we have a large selection on the website.

Knitting isn’t just an art form, it’s practical magic! Take this cowl, for example. With just a few waves of my two pointy knitting wands, an unlikely pair of hand-dyed yarns were magically transformed into an eye-catching cowl! If you decide to conjure one up for yourself, beware the dark arts! 

These yarns have been known to cast a spell of enchantment, mesmerizing the knitter with their delightful colours and textures. Add a relaxing, rhythmic pattern and you may become unable—or unwilling—to put this project down! Consider yourself warned ;)

Interpretations Vol. 6 is another magical and heartfelt collaboration between Joji Locatelli and Veera Välimäki. Like each Volume before, the 6th Volume includes six themes, six words with two designs inspired by each word, showing a personal take on each of these themes.  

This year the photo shoot was set in charming Barcelona and we had the honor to have Jonna Hietala taking all the pictures for this book. 

The book will be in the store next week.

Yesterday morning Beth took Roko to see our vet because he had a really bad night. They did x-rays and he had a very large tumour. He came home with pain pills and we thought we had another week with him. He was in bad pain all evening and at 3am Beth took him to the emergency vet. And not any vet - a pathologist. He looked at Roko's x-rays and felt his stomach and said there was nothing he could give Roko to take away the pain. He's with mom and Melo now. They are running around together, playing with frisbees and balls.
