Two Fun Knit A Longs!

We have two really fun KAL's starting this week on Ravelry!  The first one is our Fall Into Color KAL. We are casting on this Saturday, October 5th and there are some really fantastic prizes from our lovely sponsors.

Shalimar Yarns is donating TWO skeins of Paulie to one lucky winner! One in Hen Party and one in Blue Raspberry.

KnitSpot is donating three fantastic patterns!

Sheltie Triangle Which would be perfect for this KAL!

Creel

Handsies

northumbe, who has just opened a very cool pottery shop Spinderella on Etsy, has donated this awesome yarn bowl! I have one of her bowls and absolutely LOVE it!

And we have the Monkey Mayhem KAL too!  

 

Since so many of us have purchased the Monkey Jacobus kit’s in our last Etsy update, we thought it would be fun to have an informal KAL for the cute little guys and girls!

It’s informal so we only have a few guidelines to follow:

Cast on anytime

Make your monkey from one of the Shalimar Kit’s, or if you didn’t get a chance to purchase the kit your monkey can be made out of any of the Shalimar yarn bases.

Let’s finish up by December 15th.

Post pictures of your Monkey in progress, and of course if your Monkey starts getting into Monkey Mayhem we want to see pictures of that too!

Shalimar Yarns

Shenandoah Fiber Festival

Shalimar Yarns be at the Shenandoah Fiber Festival this Saturday and Sunday in beautiful Berryville, VA. We are so excited to be there and will have a new larger space which means we will have LOTS more yarn for you to choose from. We will be located in booths 7 & 8 of the Dairy Barn.

New for this year we will have a lovely selection of Knit Ready Kit’s. We know it can be hard to choose yarn and patterns while being overwhelmed with the cuteness of sheep, yarn and fibery goodness at a festival (and let’s not forget about the fried twinkies…). We have taken the work out of it by pairing up some of your favorite yarns with easy to knit patterns.

We will have:

The Outer Limit’s which is a brand new pattern being released this week. The kit includes the pattern and two 50 gram skeins of Breathless which is enough to make one hat.

Monkey Jacobus who is an absolutely adorable and fun seamless knit. Knit him up after the festival and you will be ahead on your holiday gift list. The kit includes our new Enzo Sport and eyes, just add stuffing!

Oktoberfest in Breathless DK. This is a super easy to knit cowl that uses just one skein of Breathless DK.

Jo March Mitt’s in Honey Worsted.

Loxly Gauntlet’s by Linda Wei.

Foolproof by Louise Zass-Bangham

We will also be bringing Enzo Worsted, Enzo Sport, Breathless, Breathless DK, Breathless Lace, Paulie and a special selection of “Lost Souls” in Zoe which will be in our sale basket.
