The Fibre Space Blog

Our yarn princess

by Danielle | February 18, 2010

Miss Jen recently got married, and I thought I would share her “fibre space story” with you all. Jen and her then boyfriend Gilad walked up to our shop the first week we were open, a few minutes after we had closed for the night. Jen peered through the door and we waived for her to come in. (We hadn’t closed the drawer up yet and were happy for the new customer.) Jen was super excited that she had tripped across us during a visit to Five Guys. She and Gilad spent a bit of time looking around the store and then came up to the counter with a giant pile of yarn. Gilad pulled out his card and paid for it all, something that we all noted was pretty awesome…we discussed, at the time, that she should hold onto that one for awhile! Since then, Jen and Gilad have gotten engaged and married! We were all so super excited for them. Then Jen sent along these amazing bridal photos, featuring Malabrigo that we carry at the shop. The photographer is Lisa O’Quinn from Sweet Tea Photography.  I understand that this shoot made a serious mess of Jen’s Malabrigo but the photographer did help get it all wound up again.

Snow helps with the finishing

by Danielle | February 15, 2010

I did manage to get Stephen West’s Herbivore finished over the weekend. It is in an amazing color of Malabrigo Sock – Solis. I think everything I have finished lately is in sock yarn. What am I doing?!

I started this little guy in December during my trip to the Bahamas. The first section had so many M1s and tbls that I was annoyed and put it down. Then I saw several folks in the store with it, who said that it is very easy after the set up section. So I plunged on and finished it in only a couple of days. It took about half or a little more of the sock yarn. I will weigh it soon to know for sure.
