Hook and Needle Girl

I was lucky enough to receive 2 yarn samples from Northern Lights Fiber Co. The colorways are gorgeous, the samples were plentiful, and the yarn is lovely. A new favorite etsy store for me (I really have to stop adding these.) Check it out for yourself at http://northernLightsfiber.etsy.com
The stitch markers I got from http://dameemi.etsy.com are the cutest things ever, and believe me I didn’t think sharks could be cute. Best of all they work wonderfully for both knitting and crochet.

I got a packet of sweet smelling bath salts from http://vbarton24.etsy.com but I was upset to see that her store does not have any more for sale, well, maybe she ran out all ready. I’ll keep you updated.

http://twiceshearedsheep.etsy.com sent me a sample of wool/alpaca blend in a turquoise fingering weight, its so soft, and I hadn’t known it was recycled until I read the tag, heck, I only discovered recycled yarn a day or so ago.

I got a mohair/BFL blend yarn sample from http://giffordables.etsy.comthe store has some beautiful drop spindles, and stuff to spin as well as some lovely handspun.

http://sticktoyourknittin.etsy.com has some lovely handspun, (a part of which they sent me as a sample), some destash yarn and adorable handknits.

http://holidayyarns.comhas lovely Sock yarn as well as astonishingly beautiful patterns from the Tsock Tsarina.

http://gaelsart.etsy.com has beautiful hand dyed roving and silk hankies (I am told that these can be either spun or just knit) and some great sock yarns.

I am a big fan of the yarn I got from http://kaitsh.etsy.comand I see that they aslo sell crochet/knit stitch markers and handcarved stamps.

I got a cute lace weight yarn sample from http://vjac.etsy.com I like that the profits from this store cover the costs of delivering the afghans created year-round for donation to the Victory Junction Gang Camp.
