Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi, you guys, welcome! I'm Carrie Penny, the Happy Crafty Homemaker. If you've combed through the interwebs looking for a channel that celebrates knitting, crochet, card making, and general craftiness, you have found your home.
I'll be sharing in-depth reviews of yarn boxes, knitting, and crochet patterns, as well as sharing my current WIPs and FOs. No matter your budget or skill level, there's valuable information here for you.
My cats Pippin and Banner also make an appearance now and then. Yes, we are geeks over here!!!
In my family, homekeeping is an art. So sprinkled in among the yarn love and crafting fun, you may hear a homekeeping tip or two.
Anyhoo. Merino, Alpaca, Angora…oh, my! Let the "yarn squishing" begin!

    Thanks for letting us enjoy the yarn boxes with you! The ALC yarn makes me smile. A skein coat is on my wish list.

    I love watching these! Thank you so much! You are so spot on with your yarn pairings! I am glad I went with Berried in Snow for you. I debated on changing it up and sending Frosty Air instead but went with my gut. 😍

    Berried in snow is definitely chef's kiss for me. I really like the personal touch. I now have 2 local dyers that I would not hesitate to build a yarn stash with. Met them both at our provincial fibre festival. Spotted the yarn I loved from over 100 yards away! And their base yarns are great too.

    Isn't it just dreamy!!! That is wonderful!!! I have a few from Charlotte that I still find to be 100% me. I can't wait to see what Queen City Yarn does this year! Last year their Summer line was to die for!

    My Yarnable was more pink. I prefer yours. Those greens and greenish blue hues are lovely.

    That is part of getting hand dyed yarns. I have 3 hanks from a dyer in Charlotte and they are every so slightly different, I can see it, but I think they would work up mostly the same. That is also why I alternate skeins when I am working with hand dyed yarns.

    Beautiful yarn. I never pair different variegated together. They look pretty. I just don't have the eye site to do it being some what color blind. Colors change depending on the lighting.

    I would fade them and add something tonal to blend with.

    It is pretty yarn. I am not inspired by all the pinks they use. I love blues teals, grays. But they always have amazing extras.

    Nikki uses a lot more pink which is up my alley. Cheryl tends to use more neutrals and warm tones.

    I wish I could afford them. I need to get them for a couple months. When I see them, I think knit. I have a large book of the National parks. I can get inspiration from some of the pictures in it.

    Again beautiful yarn! You have taught me so much about colors now I have a question. I have a few hanks that are 100% super wash merino that would look amazing with another hank but this one is a super wash merino/nylon blend. Would you use both in one project?

    100%!!! You can mix and match fibers as much as you want, the key is you will care for the FO based on the most "delicate" fiber. I might my superwashes all over the place though.

    Checked out the yarnable site and all it says is sold out. Guess they are doing well.

    They are. If you are interested, get on the waitlist. They are really good about sending out emails when there are open slots, also she opens up twice a year for new subs.
