That Jill, she just gets me. Each time I run to her with an idea (Jill, I was thinking I need something with a little black dress theme – but you know, with a plucky look. Oh, and I’d really love to have a pop of raspberry pink in the design. Sound good to you?). And every time she hits a home run. Every.Single.Time. I just love working with Jill and know you will be too! So, if you’re in need of graphic design, ad’s or whatever get in touch with her, you’ll be so glad you did.

Check out her adorable knitting/crochet cards and gift tags. They are a riot!

All spots full.  Thank you so much and see you next round! 

Sign-up’s Friday, January 8th – 9:00 a.m. eastern

Sign-up spots have been filled and will re-open at the end of March. Time to whip up some classics!

2010 already. Seriously? Huh? Excuse me while I wrap my brain around that…..In the meantime let’s have a contest. Now doesn’t that sound like a festive way to start off a new week, month and year?

With a little help from a friend (ok, a lot of help) my studio was cleaned and I can now see the top of my desk! Dare I say, it’s actually cute and I’m amazed at what has been unearthed. Which has me wondering:

What’s on your desk (night stand, end table, coffee table)? What’s the funniest/oddest/coolest thing you’ve found there? What would you like to have on your desk?

Contest will be open until Thursday, January 7th at 12:00 a.m. Eastern. What spoils await the winner(s)? Yarn, of course. New year, new yarn bases!!! But, that’s all I’m going to say for now…..

Recently I spoke about my apprehension and then conversion to the ever humble and lovely shawl/shawlette. Of course, you still won’t ever see me wearing it the old fashioned way (fantastic for others, just not my cuppa tea) but you will see me with them bunched up around my neck or haphazardly about my shoulders. They’re just so much more interesting a knit than a regular scarf and something special about they way the huge the neck/shoulder area.

Now, the latest addition to the shawlbutnotwornasashawl aresenal:

• The Boneyard Shawl
• Plucky Knitter 6ply Cashmere
• Raveled.

The past week and this next week promise to be a crazy one. Plucky Classics will be shipping out in waves starting tomorrow, Monday, September 28th through Wednesday the 30th and also on Tuesday and Wednesday will be last minute preparations for my trip to Seattle. Wait? What? Didn’t I tell you? Oh, this is exciting….. if you are in the Seattle area on Sunday, October 4th, there will be a Plucky Knitter Trunk Show at Churchmouse Yarns & Teas from 12:00 to 5:00.  The wonderful ladies at Churchmouse and I would love to see you! There will be cashmere as far as the eye can see! And, of course, other fun yarns too. But, you know, we are coming into full-on cashmere season!

Then upon my return I’ll have a little yarn related announcement….. stay tuned.

It’s that time again! Classics sign-ups will be open today, Monday, September 21st at 12:00 p.m. Eastern and will remain open until open spots sell out. Check back here for the live link.

Sign-ups are full for this round. Thank you so much!
