Casapinka MKAL, Week 5 of the Sale, New Tosh!
|
The Royal Wedding might be behind us, but we can't stop thinking about the history-making moment! The Royal Family, the celebs, the outfits, the wide array of colors, and, of course... the JEWELS! The Crown Jewels, to be more exact. Sure, these beauties might be kept under lock and key in the Tower of London, high atop the rooftops of London flats and the River Thames, but a girl can dream, right?!
What's better than jewels, you might ask? Wool. Lots and lots of wool. And, Casapinka agrees! The Crown Wools MKAL kicks off on July 19th, and is sure to bring out your inner royal! (Did you just say, "Yas, queen!", in your head, like we did?!) Over the course of 6 weeks, 2 clues will be released each week, resulting in an asymmetric rectangle. Our sweet friend over at Anzula, Sabrina, along with the Pink Lady herself, has concocted 3 to-dye-for color combos using 50 gram skeins of Squishy - each kit comes with 12 mini-skeins of squishy goodness!
We cordially invite you to join us for a wool-y good time! Head over to Casapinka's Ravelry to sign up for the MKAL, and snag your kit today - with your Crown Wools in hand, you're sure to be the next Princess of Yarnovia!

All hands on deck! If you've been counting, it's week 5 of our Seven Seas Summer Sale.This week, we visit the South Atlantic, and put 4 new brands that we love on sale for up to 25%-60% off!
Captain's Log, Week 5. Position, South Atlantic. Arrgh! Rotten luck from last week continues. Sails damaged during monsoon. Stranded on Ascension Island. I offered to knit a sail, but the crew didn't think that would be effective... something about the wind getting through? Befriended the locals. In exchange for our finest fiber, they've agreed to provide us with new sails. If it's the finest fiber they want, it's the finest fiber they will get! They now have my stash of Lorna's Laces, Mrs. Crosby, Blue Sky Fibers, and Hikoo, and we have new sales. Weigh anchor and hoist the mitten... err, mizzen!

Put A Pom On It!
Our fearless leaders, Laura and Shannon, recently traveled to H+H Cologne, where they were introduced to AheadHUNTER! These 100% vegan poms are handmade and produced in Austria. Our dynamic duo fell in love with the brand and their products, and VOILA! As they say, the rest is history. These poms will add just the right amount of pizazz to your favorite beanie!

Project on our Needles
Nadia's Popcorn Hat
Nadia's first hat! Nadia was inspired by Baylee's Cozy Popcorn Hats, so much so that she knit one of her own! Nadia selected white for her hat, and is excited to be able to wear it this upcoming winter! The pattern is a simple moss stitch, and knits up very quickly. Way to go, Nadia!
