Hi Knitters,
I have two quick things to share today. The first is a photo of my finished Silk Moon Crescent Shawl being worn. I love it and it sits so nicely wrapped around my shoulders. I've had some requests to share a photo of the shawl on my shoulders so here it is. One other thing, I can't believe how much the Noro Kureyon softened up and how the fabric has a much better drape-factor after a good blocking. It was a bit stiff before I blocked and stretched it. Now it feels great!
The second quick thing is a sneak peek of a project I've been working on with Unicorn Books! I'm so excited about this one. The project we've been working on combines one of my favorite sock yarns, Opal (remember this post?), and one of my favorite and biggest craft book and yarn distributors, Unicorn Books, plus two of my favorite knitting projects to design! That's a lot of favorites together. It's a match made in heaven. In case you didn't know, Unicorn is the distributor for Opal yarns.
Our project is being debuted at TNNA next week in booth #109+ and in the Unicorn Books catalog. I'll do a full post on this to fill you in on all of the details in a few days. If you are going to TNNA make sure you stop by the Unicorn booth and check it out. Plus, Unicorn always has fun book signings so you can check out our joint project while you are in line to get your books signed. Take a look at the great author schedule!
It's all good and super cute and fun, just as knitting should be.
best, susie
So very pretty! Looking forward to your new pattern!
ReplyDeleteSusan, can't wait to see the new project with Unicorn!

I won't be at TNNA this summer, too much going on on the homefront!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear about your new project! I so love your designs, especially your toys and cannot wait to hear more. :)
ReplyDeletethose are the most wonderful little feet ever! since sock yarn isn't really stash I must go find this color myself, so calm & pretty.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see that little guy/gal! Love your shawl--I love the shape of it. I also love the book the stuffie is sitting on--so lovely and worn! What a great photo! Great project. Nicky momoffour
ReplyDeleteGah, you are killing me. Congrats on all of the "faves" and tell us already!
ReplyDeleteOoh, another toy. That yarn is lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteWe will check out the Unicorn booth for sure! So sorry we won't see you there. We always have a great time with you.
ReplyDeleteMy nine year old granddaughter just started your penguin from Itty Bitty toys. She is so excited to be branching out from dishcloths and scarves and making a present for her new sister who will be born in September. We will definitely be looking for your new book.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in the crescent shawl maybe I will give noro another chance.
ReplyDeleteOooooh, that toy looks intriguing, already have the "can't hardly waits". Regards, Betty - NYC
