BlogWatch - A little Cafe with your Yarn.


Todays little blog watch is closer to home! I thought it was time I featured an Aussie Yarnie! and this week I have found the perfect yarnista for your eyes to feast on! In a nook far off into the internet, was the lovely Elissa, and her Blog/Shop


With colourways that make you want to squeel with delight, and delishious base yarns from all walks of life, this little blog and store has a little something for every yarnaholic. As a dyer myself, I always look for something that screams joy
 and beauty, every image on this delightful little blog evokes just that...how can you not smile, at a rainbow of yarn.

Hold your breath a little longer, and take a look at the stunning gradient yarns elissa has featured on her blog.

Her blog has yarn perves no matter where you look, down the sidebar are all her zingy colourways, in each post is some form of yarn beauty! 




She just released a beautiful set of green yarns, in all shades and all yarn bases. This skein below is 60% Baby Alpaca 30% Merino 10% Bamboo, who wouldnt want to knit with this!
You can find her treasure chest of yarn at her quaint little online shop
(apologies, seems my photo links are being a bum and wont link, so please use the text instead, tar!) 

She describes her world as...
and I couldn't agree with her more...make a cup of tea, and jump into her world, you wont regret it, purchase some yarn and some delishious chocolate while you are in her shop, be a yarn glutton I wont tell, hehe

After realizing that Id put my name on the list, I hadnt taken my pictures!! so I got my clothes on and ran into the craft room to take a photo of my latest workings.
As some may know, Im currently in the middle of my Yarn Club, the first shipment of wool arrived today, and Im busy setting up for a mass dyeing session as I have 5kg to dye in the next week!!
so my creative space is all about the hand dyed goo
dness.
this is also a teaser for my customers, as they have been stalking my blog waiting for me to let something slip...so this is all thats slipping my loves...

there are thee pots of dye there, each colour is just one of the colours for each colourway...Im not saying which is which, but there you have it...three little slips all in one.

I've also had some fun in the dyepots with some wool! these will go up for sale once I get the rest of the stock ready but Im in love, I dye because I love it, but then I love my wool and dont want to let it go, lol I have problems!!
a splash of colour for my creative space today
to perve on other spaces today! jump onto Kootoyoo Blog! or sign you yourself, its fun!

enjoy club girls, and the rest of the lovely women who have a looksie.

Blog Watch! SplitYarn Beautiful

Its that time of the week again, for a little yarn blog feature, and I've scoured for the entire week of my fave little nooks to bring you this modern and funky knitter/crafter who makes beautiful acessories for the knitters of today. I give you ... SplitYarn
She makes adorable little needle cases, for needles in stunning prints, aswell as adorable camera straps if you want something a little left of center this is the place to go!
Her sleek shop can be found right HERE
Whats a feature without some yarn perving, her photos are beautiful, her knits are beautiful, and she seems to be after my own heart with the amounts of green she uses in her projects. 


The yarn below turned into a sweater for herself, which looked stunning finished.
I only wish I had enough time to knit myself such lovely items of clothing! Her little blog features shop updates, posts about her day to day life, vibrant photographs and of course knitting, yarn perves and project details. If you loved my last blog feature, pop on over to SplitYarn and take a little glimpse into her world, its well worth the click.



Not only is this blog utterly sweet, there are several tutorials within her blog on how to fix mistakes with photo references, if that isnt a reason to look at a blog I dont know what is, you may learn something for the day.
Enjoy your weekend, with a secondhand teacup an a pair of old wooden needles and a ball of beautiful yarn.

All things Wool - Blog Feature.

I spend alot of my time, in other peoples knitting and wool adventures, there are blogs that just take me on this beautiful journey into their projects, their lives and their souls. I thought it was high time to start showing the people that inspire me beyond belief. My first feature, is a blog I only stumbled on last night as it so happens, I forgot where the clicking started to get me to her blog, but there I was last night, just adoring every thing she wrote about, her photos were lush and vibrant, everything about this little blog was endearing.


her work is truly amazing, she spins aswell, so drool over the handspun. The colours in her projects are just, Im left speechless bascally, as a dyer and a knitter myself, this woman has an eye for brilliant combinations.

I envy her ability to do socks, one day I shall overcome such tasks!
She has a little etsy shop but not to my surprise she is currently sold out of all her stock.

Even though she is sold out now, I urge you to bookmark her as your fave, and check back as this is really yummy yarn.
enjoy the goodness that is Three Little Purls
Tea and Yarn
