The list goes on. The yarn and fiber. So much to see. So much to buy! The tools of the trade. Needles, hooks, books, patterns, looms, …

A few months ago we sent out 1000 yards of ModeSock in Lazurite for a new design for Holla Knits! Spring/Summer 2014 Collection. That lovely blue sock yarn has turned into the StoneyBrook Top, a light, airy sweater perfect for spring and summer. It’s youthful and fun, and looks great with leggings as pictured, or would look good …

Provisional cast on? ICord Bind Off? Short Rows? Grafting? Creating a Thumb Gusset? These are all techniques that you can try out with this simple pattern. Note that I said SIMPLE, which is not the same thing as EASY!
I’ve made the decision to display ALL of the colors together, in a cohesive group, which I hope will make these more compelling colorways!
Daryl’s the quiet muscle, the thinking wo/man’s redneck, and he’s proven to be a better friend, defender and father-figure than almost anyone else on the show.
Today I begin revealing a series of colors based on AMC’s The Walking Dead which I’m calling, The Knitting Dead. Personally, I can’t understand why there’s not more knitting (or ANY knitting) in TWD, I feel the producers are missing out on a huge section of their fan base. And we KNOW there are some …
Each week I’ll bring out a new colorway based on a character, location or event from TWD which inspires me, and these will be available in all our ModeKnit Yarns (ModeSock, ModeLuxe & ModeWerk.)

Another most exciting aspect to the day is that I FINALLY finished dyeing up large amounts of the two final colors in the 221B Series, and have put together sets to ship! I apologize for the several days delay in getting these out, but I feel it was definitely worth the weight!
We’ve heard from some of you that shipping costs can be a deterrent, and we really want to get our beautiful yarn into your hot little hands, so we’re offering flat rate shipping on all orders! No matter how much you order, you’ll only pay $5.50 for a US Domestic package, $15.50 for an International package of our fine yarns!
I’m hopeful that all of you had a MAGNIFICENT holiday, and will continue on through next week (and BEYOND!) to celebrate the light and warmth that we can create in our own lives when it’s so dark outside!
If you want to hear about our newest colors or latest batch of fresh yarns ready for purchase, follow me on Twitter or like our Facebook page and watch for the messages which start, “COLOR UP!” – that means something really good has just come out of the dyepot and it’s ready to purchase!
I really want to be able to achieve a uniformity so we can market our colors as colorways, not just as ‘one-offs.’
I love the Wednesday-before-Thanksgiving SO much! It’s a day of hopes, of dreams, of non-crazed prep and happy anticipation! This Wednesday-before-Thanksgiving is even MORE special! Today I await the first shipment of ModeKnit Yarn! Today I will receive my first two base yarns from which we’ll be dyeing our initial batches. I’m so excited! I checked …
I’ve been insanely excited for the past month(s) because I’m embarking on a new endeavor with a partner, and I can’t hold it in any longer! We’re starting an independent yarn dyeing business! I know, us and 450 other folks this week… Why? As I have come to love so many independently produced yarns (and …
