Good morning lovely knitters! I'm so glad the leaves managed to hang on during those crazy rains this week. It is still SO pretty out. Fall....I wish you were 8 months long!!
Speaking of....we've got a brand new kit for you! Fresh off the press - Autumn Embers!
This shawl is made with 2 different colors of Noro Saiun (which has amazing options), but you could also use Tsubame, Sonata Shina and with a needle change, several other Noro yarns. You can find kits here!
I have to admit something to you...after the hospital stay in February, I was NOT knitting. Like not at all. Can you believe it? Too much pain and fatigue and no focus. But, naturally the yarn made it back into my hands and when I was knitting up Autumn Embers was one of the first times I actually started to feel a little bit like myself again! Noro...a nice slip stitchy fun pattern - it worked like a charm!
Advent orders are flowing in - only a couple left of some of the colors! Make sure you share the link with your peeps if you want to drop a gift hint! Here are the two NEW patterns for this year (but don't forget - you get TEN patterns with your box)!
Dancer - 
Comet -
I've been wanting to wear my This is Not Normal Hat again lately, but I think I'm going to have to remake it because I originally made mine to hold a mountain of hair! I have found a yarn replacement...what do you guys think? Are you interested in kits for this one? Let me know! Cuz NOTHING seems normal!
I hope you get a chance for a yarn fondle today!
