Happy New Year and Back to the Dye Vat!

The EZ hybrid jumper... a sneak preview.

Just a quick note – since I’m hoping to take more photos and get a proper post sorted tomorrow – to say that dyeing starts again this week. 🙂

There are a number of key colours missing from the shop right now, but I’m planning on getting them restocked as soon as possible.

Hope everyone had a great christmas – i have lots to show you, and plan to do so very soon.

Happy Christmas From Oxford Kitchen Yarns!

So much to tell you, but now is not the time.

However in the new year I’ll make sure to get caught up on everything that is going on. 🙂 It’s all good stuff!

Hopefully it will brighten up enough for me to take a ton of photos that are waiting to be taken. (it’s not a lack of finished objects or news that has kept me away, it’s been a lack of decent light. Well that and a website – for my other job – that needed to be build asap.)

Anyways for now I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported Oxford Kitchen Yarns this year. You’re all wonderful!

I hope everyone has a great christmas, and a very happy 2008!

Back from the London Stitch n Bitch, and the Shop is back open!

 

I had such a great time at the show! I am exhausted and beaming, and happy and buzzy on it all. *grins*

It was wonderful to chat to so many lovely and interesting knitters. It was great to finally get my yarn out there and see what people thought of it. I just got to sit behind the stall all day and admire everyone in their knitted finery.

Oh it made me happy!

can you tell i was nervous?

(A blurry-coz-I’-nervous shot of the stall just before the doors opened, being presided over by the lovely Lazulus who was an absolute star.)

Today I have been getting the shop back up and full of goodies. The 4ply is in stock for the first time, along with new colours in DK, Sock, and Lace weight. Various colour sold out at the show, but I’ll dye more of them soon. 🙂

THE SHOP IS NOW OPEN (AGAIN)!

I’m planning to write a proper post about the show in the next few of days, with links to a load of wonderful people that you should go check out…

the wonderful hop scotch socks!

(THE SOCKS!)

…however, given the response to the raspberry socks we showed off, I wanted to direct you to their creator: Thomasina Knits.

More when I’m not falling asleep into my keyboard. 🙂
