Like riding a bike

Nice to know that I still actually remember how to knit!!! (and dye)

It has been some time since I have actually picked up the needles for more than a stolen moment here and there (or to help a customer) but my littlest miss has had a growth spurt and no longer fits many of her woollies...

So what is a girl to do?? Throw some yarn in a pot and then whip out the needles!!

Considering that I only allow myself to knit when I can't be working I'm impressed that I managed to get these finished. Most of the knitting was done between the hours of 4am and 5am which is apparently when miss A thinks is a great time to wake up.

I have itchy fingers now and my mind has been running wild with ideas of cast ons, especially with all of the stunning yarn that has arrived at the shop in the past week. Apart from the Hand Maiden that I am lusting after...

We also received a delivery of Debbie Bliss including Baby Cash, Cash Aran and Luxury Tweed. *sigh* lots of squishing of the Luxury Tweed which I feel will become a hat for me very soon...

A very special delivery arrived late last week...a beautiful box of Whimsical Little Knits by Ysolda - one of my favourite designers. Each book is individually hand signed by Ysolda! One has already found its way onto my bookshelf.

We are still waiting on rather large shipments of Brown Sheep, Malabrigo and Noro - all expected this week.

Several classes started last week and a great time is being had by all! Keep an eye out for a newsletter with details of some new workshops about to begin!

Lush...

Sigh...look what arrived on the shop door step this week...



My first order of Fleece Artist and Hand Maiden and all I can say is Yum!!

These little beauties will be hitting the website tomorrow and our next delivery is due in weeks.

If you have a particular colour / yarn base that you would like please drop me a line at tangled@tangledyarns.com.au as we would be happy to custom order it for you.

A Few Updates and a Cast On!

Happy Easter All!


Just like most things in my life at the moment I'm running a little late in wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter.

I have been using the slightly quieter days at the shop to make some changes, move a little of my stock around and work like crazy on my web site. For those of you that are waiting for the launch of the tangled YARNS online store...it is coming soon I promise! Each time I think I am close to going live I receive more stock and that means more updates to the database and more images.

It seems to be a vicious cycle! Just prior to the Easter break we received more stock of Cascade (including the ever popular Cascade Eco), Namaste and Knit Kits. We have more deliveries expected next week - top up stock of Brown Sheep, Malabrigo, Noro plus some new arrivals including Debbie Bliss, Fleece Artist and Handmaiden.

At this stage I think I will have just draw a line in the sand on open shop, there may be a few images missing but I hope that this will be forgiven.

Sunday is becoming my favourite day at the shop, everyone is a little more relaxed. Most customers come in with a project in mind and I have the wonderful job of helping them put pattern and yarn together.

I even had a few moments to take some photos today.



And for the first time in months I actually have something on my needles. My littlest Miss decided that it was time to wake up at 4am this morning. She was however content to play in our bed while I quietly cast on...

Of course I had to select a few buttons while at the shop this morning!
