Knit Up and Dye Episode 66 - Let's Have a Parade



This is a double length episode (more or less) to make up for the missed week and really short episode last time. I feature a full parade of all my WIPs, talk about the Design-Along, and call for feedback on a Knit-together community building Knit-Pals idea I have, and announce my upcoming Anniversary Sale (Get 30% off everything in my shop May 1-31, 2018 using coupon code: MONKEYTURNS3 or use link to auto apply discount.)

Colorway Chronicles: My Summer Romance

I have a great love for water. Whether lake, ocean, river, shower, or bath, if I have the opportunity to be in or around water, I will take it. Especially during the summer months. Ironically, I live in the desert. To that end, water is ever more precious to me and my appreciation, ever stronger.  I have many romantic fantasies of escaping to a quiet beach house in view of rolling waves and lovely blue-grey time rounded stone covered beaches. This colorway is the embodiment of that fantasy.

I'm back and so's my yarn!

Wednesday's Child on Tap Monkey I'm very proud to announce that I've been pulled back out of retirement, and will be dyeing yarn...
