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.
