Etsy shopping - Gifts for knitters/spinners July 9, 2007

Filed under: Etsy Shopping — karrie @ 5:42 am

Sometimes the things that I find on etsy are so good I have to share. Most of the goodies in this post will appeal to knitters or spinners, but I have another gift idea post in mind and it will be coming soon.

The softest fiber ever
Okay, maybe it is not the softest alpaca ever, but it sure is nice. A whole hunk of soft grey alpaca from North Star Alpacas.


One of my favorite things about this fiber is that I get to know exactly who it came from.. Oh, not just the seller, the actual animal. Thanks Chewbaca!

The best stitch markers for tiny needles
I was admiring the complete adorableness of Jeremy’s Monkey post when a little set of stitch markers caught my eye. So tiny, so simple, so cute. So I ran over to Hide and Sheep and hooked myself up with some. Here they are on US #1 DPN’s.

See how they are totally not in the way? And they are virtually snag-proof. Genius. They are available for a pretty large range of needle sizes, and arrived packaged in a handy little tin.


Oh and they are such a deal. RUN over there and get some.

The gift set that no sock knitter can live without
In an act of shameless self-promotion (hey, it is my webpage) I bring you the Sock Knitter’s Gift set. It is one of my Sock Knitter’s needle cases (Where DPN’s, and circular needles live in perfect harmony) paired with a set of Kitchener Stich Markers for a wicked good price.


You can have your choice of needle case. Speaking of my shop… I am having a SALE!! Free US shipping, and 10% off of everything until Midnight Pacific Tuesday July 10. I am too lazy to re-price everything, so you will need to wait for an invoice before sending your payment.

A Windfall of craftiness April 1, 2007

Filed under: Crafty, Karrie's Current Projects — karrie @ 8:42 am

First, the bad news… I applied for a table to sell my craft wares at the SF Bazaar Bizaare in May, and I didn’t get accepted. ho-hum. I can’t believe they have chosen to leave themselves moustache-less. Now I wish I would have done something to get involved like drop spindle demonstrations, or crocheting with video tape or something but those deadlines passed long ago, and I was hedging my bets on the Bazaar…

But there are other things to cheer me up. I took some nice photos for the Bazaar application, and one features the newest item in my shop: The Old West Moustache Set.

Cookie A gave my stitch markers a mention and now they are selling as fast as I can list them. Thanks so much Cookie!

I have also received a bunch of swap goodies from swap-bot.
I really enjoyed the tea swap. I got these from Germany:

And my partner in the “Crafty Chick” swap really outdid herself.

A Martha Stweart Living, paper goodies, a hand sewn case, yarn, and more! See that green yarn in the top left? i immediately started using it in granny squares.

Those grannies are really starting to pile up, by the way….


The front two are from swap-bot swaps!

Just a reminder, if you would like to swap a few granny squares, sign-ups for my Scraptastic granny square swap are open until April 8th.
