FuzzyKittie fibers on Etsy

Hi all. I am really excited about this second round of the swap. Please check out my etsy shop at NightCatDesign.etsy.com I share the shop with my husband. He does flameworked glass (currently he has some beautiful floral wine bottle stoppers up for sale), and sell fiber goods. I have sock weight and lace weight yarn up for sale at the moment. Please come take a look.

Shiny Happy Tencel!

Since my partner showed interest in Merino/Tencel sock yarn and I've been curious about it, too, so I ordered some. Quite a bit actually, so if anyone would like to purchase some Ashland Bay Superwash 50%Merino/50%Tencel fingering wt sock yarn at 4oz for $14 including shipping, please contact me, Felicia @ Sweet Pea Fibers

Let's Get Swapping!!!

I sent out partners last night. If you didn't get yours first check your spam or junk mail folder. If you don't find it then let me know and i'll resend it to you. I'm really looking forward to this round of the swap and i'm thinking of adding a few things here or there to keep everyone on their toes. Maybe some things to post on your blog (if you have one) or a contest or two. Let me know if you have any ideas. I'm all ears ... um, or eyes ... you know what I mean. :)

Happy Swapping,
~Celena ... your swap mom

Hey everyone, my name is Felicia and I am so excited about this yarn swap. I just recently started an etsy store, Sweetpeafibers and I just love all the color combinations that everyone comes up with. Look forward to meeting everyone and can't wait to see what comes in the mail from the swap! Thanks Felicia

Sign-Ups Closed & SALE

Sign-ups for round 2 of the hand dyed yarn swap are now closed. I will be sending out assignments this weekend ... a little ahead of schedule. If you have yet to see your invite to the blog, please check your junk/spam mail folder. I have re-sent to a couple of you and the invite has still not been accepted. I'm email you privately this weekend if you are still not signed up.

On another unrelated/off-topic note, i'm having a sale in my Etsy shop, Rocket Yarn, to clear out before posting holiday related items. Free shipping on the purchase of two or more items. If you are a member of this swap and have an online shop, please feel free to post about it here. If you sent me a link in your sign-up info I will be adding a link to your shop in the "buy from a participant" section of this blog. We could all use some free advertising. :) If you are not a member of this swap but you have an Etsy shop or other online fiber related shop, please feel free to post about it in the comments.

Also, there is a pledge to buy handmade for the holidays going around that I thought I would share. I've signed it and plan to make and buy handmade as many of my holiday gifts that I can. Check it out here: Buy Handmade

phew, finally!

It took a while but I finally got my package from Gina - two skeins of funky purple-and-brown sock yarn, some absolutely nifty stitch markers, a Vancouver Island magnet, 2 postcards, and some popcorn-on-the-cob! (Very appropriate for Thanksgiving!) Can't wait to get this stash knitted up! Thanks, Gina!

Wrapping Things Up

There are still two of you who have not received yarn if my records are correct. Both pals have emailed me and told me your yarn was on the way. The emails were sent last week or before so here's what i'm going to do. Anyone who has not received yarn by the end of this weekend, please let me know and I will assign an angel to send you yarn.

I will open sign-ups for the next round of the swap sometime next week. Anyone who flaked on this round will, obviously, be banned from participating in future rounds of the swap. I'm going to assign partners next time too, hoping to add some accountability. So you will send yarn to the same person who is sending yarn to you. It looks like we'll be doing sock yarn again unless the poll results change in the next week.

Thanks to everyone who participated. There's some great looking yarn out there!

Last but not least

at least I think I'm last...

Lovely blue and green yarn arrived today from Sally, along with six very cute stitch markers and a set of knitting beads - I think I see stitch markers in my future...

Thanks Sally!

Thank You Susan!!!

Susan offered to be an angel for me and look at the lovely yarn she sent ... absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you so much Susan.

one of three no more

This is the beautiful Yarn that I received from Kate from Canada. My hand dye yarn is on its way to sunny California! But alas, I won't be participating in the next step because it is not fair to the great participants who meet deadlines. I kinda thought I might step on my foot with this one. The yarns are all beautiful and Kate your yarn will be a wonderful pair of yummy socks for me!! If I finish them while the blog is still open to me I will post pics here. But of course they will be posted on http://www.knitkharma.com/ Live, laugh and love your knitting!!
