Open House Part II ~

By Sarah | October 22, 2007

How fun is that chevron scarf? (Hmmm, must work on my posture….) Were it not for some very unseasonable temperatures I would have been modeling the scarves (I had my outfit all picked out so that it would match both the chevron and the opera scarf and I could switch on and off) but, for fear of completely expiring due to excitment, a touch of stress and total heat exhaustion, I had to stick with just displaying them.

Yarn-y goodness up close courtesy of Paula and her super spiffy new camera (actually, all photos in this post are courtesty of Paula and her spiffy camera).

Phew! That was a busy, busy place to be on Saturday. I met so many talented and fun knitters…. there was Mick and Holly and so many more…. (if you were there and we met, please leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you!).

Ok. Now for the links to the patterns used for the test knits and the lovely and generous ladies who knit them (in no particular order):

Mad Color Weave Socks knit by Mai.
Anna’s Socks and Anchillea knit and designed by Kirsten.
Anchillea knit by Paula.
Saartjes Booties knit by Amanda.
Vine Lace Baby Hat and Saarjtes Booties knit by Jodi.
Fingerless Gloves knit by Maleana.
Easy Flame Lace Scarf knit by Rachel.
Chevron scarf knit by Emily.
Baby Rib socks knit by Meadow.
Neck warmer based on the Aspen Cowl knit by Macoco.
Opera Scarf knit by Nicole.

Again, I know I’ve said it before and I will say it again – there is no way, no how I could have done it without your help. And, as soon as I find my camera (or, better yet, get a new camera) I will post more pictures of the rest of the test knits and I even have a couple that are still en route….. a Baby Surprise Jacket knit by Jenn (a crafty scientist who works with Mr. Plucky), a Diamond Shawl from Anna.

And last, but certainly not least, a super big thank you to the ladies at Stitching Memories. They couldn’t have been sweeter or more helpful. Mary, Kelly J., Kelly “Y” and all the rest of the ladies (please forgive me, I am drawing a blank. Your name will come to me when I least expect it!).

Now that that is done, I was even able to cast on for a cute beret.

Up next: A contest (you know how I love those!) and more knitting content.

You look adorable. I recognize that sweater BTW!
So glad it went well and glad that I had a little part of it even though I couldn’t be there. Mwah. I am SO proud of you.

Sounds like a marvelous day! The Plucky Knitter Display is lovely. Now I’m trying to figure out which colors will work best for a chevron scarf.

I have to say that I love your hair, so cute!

And look at all those gorgeous colors piled on top of each other, fantastic!

Hi Sarah,
I love the yarn colors! I need another sport weight merino. Do you have anything besides the blue and pink on esty? I love the rum raisin, webster, persian rug, iris or anything close. I need to go with the purple a bought from you I want to make a chevron scarf.

Wow, Sarah! You are doing so well. You look so cute and your yarn is gorgeous. It is great to see it in big bunches like that. You have a great selection. I hope you had fun at your open house.

Look at all that yarn! Fabulous! You are very talented at what you do and I am so glad you are finding success.

Scrumptious yarn! I’m waiting for just the ‘right’ lace weight on your Etsy shop for it to be impossible for me to resist.

Please credit card, obey.

Oh no! My shawl did not make it in time for the Open House. I did not realize it was this weekend already. Oh well, your display looked gorgeous as it was. I wish I could have seen all the fiber goodness in person.
