Marie Mayhew Designs

Marie Mayhew Patterns will be at the Trunk Show this weekend!

Saturday, December 1st, 10 am - 5 pm

at Stash

These adorable felted creations knit up fast and would make great holiday gifts, tree ornaments, and gift toppers.  Felting is so much fun, grab a group of knitting friends and have a Mayhew felting/trading party!

Here are a few of her creations:

wooly matroyshka dolls

wooly nest eggs

wooly snow babies

wooly bird holiday ornaments

Tiny Owl Knits takes you on a journey of fairy tales and whimsy as you knit patterns like:

 deer antler hat

 fairy castles (these hold hooks and needles!)

 gnome homes (for your DPN's!)

 hopsalot

wear the wild things are

I can't wait to knit up a few of these projects.  Maybe I'll join Max in his forest of wild thing and knit the crown and sweater.  I will certainly have to have a set of fairy castles for my needles, I can't think of a better way to hold them.  And the gnome homes are a must since I've taken up sock knitting.  All patterns are available at Stash.

Show and Tell-Sheila Fuselier

Look at the witch Sheila came up with for Halloween. Wouldn't you just love this for your own Halloween Decor?!? She used the felted pumkin pattern along with the felted bird house roof pattern and thought outside the box. Way to go Sheila! I love the little wort on her nose.

News I Love to Share!

News I love to share: Recently, after a long and exhaustive evaluation process, Manos del Uruguay has been admitted as a full member of WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization), the global representative body of over 350 organizations committed to 100% Fair Trade. This recognizes the mission of Manos del Uruguay to eradicate poverty through sustainable economic development, pioneering social and environmental policy and practice, and continual reinvestment in marginalized artisans, farmers and producer communities. To learn please visit the web site of Manos distributor Fairmount Fibers

Manos is and has always been a favorite of mine. It works up beautiful garments, warm and cozy hats, and felts like no other yarn out there, in my opinion. Look for more Manos colors coming soon after I move into the new space at 301 Jerry St in Castle Rock, CO
