sick update

Well we've all been infected with the flu here. Symptoms started last Friday and I've tried to tough 'em out. I think I'm through the worst of it. I definitely feel the best today than I have in a week. Jackson though, my 4 y/o, just was diagnosed with pneumonia. So if things are crawling around here you know why. I'll keep you posted and appreciate your positive thoughts.

Pay it Forward

I may be a day late in posting, but it's not too late to let you know that on Universal Mama we are paying it forward. Through the week you will have your chance to enter in a lottery to win a $100 shopping spree! $50 goes to you and you can choose whoever you'd like to send the other $50. You can enter until Friday.

Also, my dear friend Lindsey and I have teamed up to offer a totally FREE wool set! It's a size nb/small and perfect for the upcoming holiday's - or anytime for that matter! Drawing ends Wed at 10 p.m.



Lastly I am offering Family Root's newest colorway "Songbird" knit into size medium longies. They'll be perfect for the holiday's I think!

Dwell Wool Knits... and Silly Stripes?!

Yes! That is my surprise! (Which I meant to post yesterday but we're all sick as dogs so I have an excuse.)

Monica of Little Bear Knitwear asked me if I would be interested in becoming licensed to knit Silly Stripes™ for her store Silly Stripes Shoppe on Hyena Cart.

Let me think....

um, YES!

I'm excited to branch out in this direction. I won't be abandoning Dwell Wool Knits in any way. You will still see me stocking at Universal Mama and hopefully more in my DWK shop (if I ever catch up!)

So I'll be joining Aimee of Jade Gaia and Monica on the first of each month in the Silly Stripes Shoppe. Please won't you join us?



Here is a sampling of our offerings this month. Don't miss the stocking at 12 p.m. EST today!

A *lot* of catching up...

Where do I begin? Where have I been? Well, I could do a photo explanation of where i've been...

I've been knitting Hudson Hats...





I've been dyeing yarn...





I've been knitting customs...






And.... I have more to tell but it's just going to have to wait! ;)

Stocking Monday!

At Universal Mama the gals will be celebrating a Fall Festival. Tia from Julibeans, Lindsey from Cake and myself teamed up to present you with a special collaboration. :) Tia sent me the sweetest colorway, her own "Apple Fest" on Blue Faced Leicester wool. Perfection! I knit it up into some longies and Lindsey designed the sweetest top for it. How sweet is this?!





You'll find this little girly set stocking at Universal Mama this Monday at 10 p.m. Enjoy!
