Red sweater for Valentine’s Day?

by Danielle | February 12, 2010

I finished the Geodesic Cardigan by Connie Chang Chinchio. It was in the last issue of Knitscene, which is, by the way, one of the best issues of any knitting magazine I have ever seen – filled cover to cover with wonderful projects.

I started it on the second day of my fever / flu and was able to get a lot done during snowpocalypse 2010.  From what I can tell, this is the first completed one since the issue came out…I didn’t realize what a nice Valentine’s Day color it would be! This is worked up in Dragonfly Fibers Sock, color dragonberry. Yum! The tucks are created with shortrows. It is a lot of straightforward stockinette stitch but there are quite a few things to track at once. I recommend an iphone row counter app for this one.

fibre girl opens her new club registration!

by Danielle | February 6, 2010

fibre girl club

A bit more about my club:

Each month will feature enough yarn for a project and will be paired with either a pattern or pattern suggestions. Some of our months even feature a new and exclusive pattern from amazing designers. The projects vary from scarves and cowls to mitts, shawls, socks and more. Some packages include luxury fibres while others include hand dyers & exclusive colors or unique small companies. While I have already selected (and in some cases, received) the yarns and “goodies,” I won’t be giving out any hints beyond the first month! I can promise that each month will be themed around some of my favorite things or places. I will feature other hip local businesses and their products as well.

There are two options for delivery: store pick up or shipment. If you would prefer shipment, your package will be mailed 2 days prior to the opening of store pickup. Shipping is through the US Postal Service, priority mail and is $30 for six shipments.

To register:

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED! THE CLUB IS FULL

The fine print:

There are no refunds or cancellations for the club. Each themed month will value at or above $50 in yarn, notions and / or goodies.  Packages will be shipped by the 15th of each month. You may change your shipping address at any time. We regret we can not ship internationally at this time. Those who have selected store pick up will be permitted to pick up in the shop two days after the shipments have been made. You will receive an email to indicate that the club has been shipped and what date the store pickup is available. If you intend to give this as a gift, please be sure to indicate the recipient’s name and address in the checkout process. The club is limited to 50 participants.
