SYAO Creativity, the week of September 16, 2024
Sep 16, 2024 2:10 pm
Hello, everyone!
Happy Monday! Here's the latest edition of SYAO Creativity. Let's see what's going on in our creative world this week!
STITCH (What I've been working on)
The mystery is over, and I'm FINALLY able to show you my Make a Hat Day hat! I asked people to vote on Facebook and Instagram, and the green combination was the winner. I do love this combo!
My design plan was this: I started with all dark yarn, then added a wee bit of light. Then I balanced the light and dark equally in the shadow-knitting section. Then I used more light than dark, and finally went to all light. It was a fun hat to play with.
YOUR (What you've been working on)
Susan brought in a beautiful sweater made from the ever-classic Malabrigo Rios. Love this so much! I also love how she didn't alternate skeins, and she got a beautiful color-block effect. Don't be nervous about hand-dyed yarns. I like this better than an alternated-skein version!
ART (Inspired by art or nature)
There was a daylight moon last week. I got a shot of it, and was surprised by just how interesting the photo was!
OUT (What's out on the shelves in the shop)
Knitters! Remember that the shop is participating in the Have a Ball Fall Crawl over the next two weekends. This is an online yarn crawl, with 21 stores--and many prizes for those who are watching live!
It costs only 10 bucks to register, and you'll have a blast shopping everywhere! (While I don't like sending you to other places, people from other shops will come to me, so it all evens out!)
Go to haveaballfallcrawl.com, and learn everything you need to know--plus get yourself registered! This is the perfect time of year to start gathing yarn for the cold weather ahead!
Reminder that knitting 101 begins next week!
And remember to sign up for the October Knitting Retreat!!
As always, make an appointment to shop or browse, or just to show off your stuff! I can't wait to see you!
