Cashmere Oh how I love you

Oh yeah ladies have you ever seen 100%Cashmere sock yarn. The picture above is 100% pure Cashmere sock yarn that I dyed the colors are Dark pink and a lite hot pink together. This colorway was design for one of the stores I sell to . This colorway will be sold and part of profit will go to a breast cancer patient who needs help. The store it will be sold at will be called Knit Escape it's in St. Peters. The yarn that we will be using is a 100% super washed merino. We were going to do the cashmere but we think the super washed will bring in more profit. If you would like to support the cause you can go to www.knitescape.blogspot.com or send me an email at yummeeyarn@gmail.com It should be available for purchase in about 3 weeks. I have to dye it still ( when I get the yarn in) Gina is the shop owner and she could tell you more about the person who this will benefit. This is a wonderful of Gina to do this she is a great person and a good friend.

OK NOW FOR SOME BIG NEWS. DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYES GLUED TO THE SCREEN !!

I am thinking of holding a contest . Up for grabs will be a skein of sock yarn dye by yummee yarn. I still have to do some thinking about what kinda contest I want to hold. I might even do a contest with the cashmere sock yarn to. So make sure you keep checking back. Give me about a week to think of the details. So keep checking back for details on it.

Alligator Scarf

Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting sooner every body's been sick in my house. Now that I have energy again I can get things done I need to. Any ways I bought the Alligator Scarf kit from Morehouse Farms. Needless to say the who ever wrote the patter is a total genies. Totally easy to read and knit . What a totally cute ideal. I know all the kid under 10 will be getting one of these for Christmas ( that is about nine total) they all have picked there favorite colors for the alligator to be. On the down side I must say the yarn that came with it was not very good quality. Let just say its definitely burnt or over cooked in the dyeing process. Now I know what it looks like burnt because I myself have burnt yarn. I am in the process of sending there yarn back. Hopefully they will do the right thing and exchange the yarn for not burnt yarn. So far they have said that to send back the pattern and yarn for a refund. But as I told the lady that I didn't want the refund just different yarn they said they could exchange the yarn for a 2-ply. I beginning to wonder if they don't know what burnt yarn looks like. I mean I would never sell burnt yarn . To all those who have bought the yarn if its fuzzy looking and smells bad and basically falls apart its not just the yarn it's burnt. Plus it had wood in it which I can deal with but really can't deal with the smell or fuzzy look. Any ways I will let you know what happens or how it plays out.

Heaven On A Spoon!!!

Listen up people, I have found heaven on a spoon!! It's called Dark Chocolate Dreams !! ( Peanut Butter Blended with Rich Dark Chocolate) It's even Gluten Free, has no Hydrogenated oils, and no Refined Sugar. Can we say heaven in a bottle. This company is totally awesome. The have a ton of different flavored peanut butters, and get this they have an online store and catalog. Who knew . There website is www.ilovepeanutbutter.com you have to check them out . My Walmart super center carries this flavor and white chocolate wonderful and cinnamon raisin flavored. But be aware its about $ 3.60 a jar . But boy is it worth every penny I will definitely be buying more . My children are big peanut butter eaters. Well lets just say this is a treat for mom. Besides I can only handle about a spoonful at a time ( my guilty pleasure ,just don't tell my doctors) Try them out next time you shop to see if you like them there worth it.

Knitting Project Updates!!

The first picture you will see is of my second Peek-A-Boo-Cloche. This hat is totally mine. I love it. I was hard to get the picture to come out right so if its hard to see the under color Sorry. It doesn't look like that in person. It's just the brown yarn has metallic thread in it. Makes it hard to photograph.

The next picture is of the project that I started today. I haven't decided if its going to be a Christmas present for someone or something for me. Only time will tell. It is a pattern from the Interweave Knits Magazine ( fall 2007). The pattern is called Concentric Vest. I have only been knitting on it about 30 minutes or so. If you haven't check out the magazine it has some cute patterns in it.

In other news I found the Scarf pattern that I am going to be making for some kids I know for Christmas. It's a really cute pattern down side you have to buy a kit just to get the pattern . It is called the Alligator Scarf by Morehouse Merino. So if your close friends of mine and would like it let me know. I can't wait to get them made I have about 7 of them to make. Thats all the update for know Chow. Eat well , Live well.
