Did everyone make it to their local yarn shop to celebrate LYS Day? You know I did! I was helping out Marci of Th’red Head Designs at her trunk show at The Studio! She had a fun, exclusive colorway for the event called “I ❤ My LYS,” and it was made from Lapis, Yellow, and […]
Read More LYS Day RecapDoes anyone remember, very long ago, when I geeked out over those yarn advent calendars? And I said that I got one? I’d like to show you Loopy Ewe’s 12 Day of Indie Christmas! I went with this calendar for a few reasons: With 12 yarns instead of 24 or 25, it was much closer […]
Read More 12 Days of Yarn ChristmasWhile I’m sitting here not working on Christmas presents, I’m instead looking at all the really cool yarn advent calendars they’re putting out this year.

Read More Yarn Advent Calendar Round-upThe end of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival is nigh, and traditionally the last couple of weekends are really good at Wolf ‘n’ Sheep’s Clothing.

Read More Adventures at the Ren Fest: 4th WeekendIt was so hot this weekend (which is never fun when you’re in the market of warm things), but it wasn’t a total bust. Mom was working out at the Faire this weekend too! She’s working for one of her favorite artists, Clay Images, who make these amazing ceramic dragon pieces, including three different styles […]
Read More Adventures at the Ren Fest: 3rd WeekendThe unofficial start of fall also rings in the start of the Renaissance Festival in Kansas City, and I’m in my fourth season working at Wolf ‘n’ Sheeps Clothing. I fully intended to do one of these posts last week but the holiday weekend threw me off my rhythm. So this one is a twofer. […]
Read More Adventures at the Ren Fest: 1st and 2nd WeekendsI love weddings, particularly when the people getting married are awesome. This last weekend, my family crammed into my dad’s minivan to make the trek to Cincinnati, OH where my godbrother married his high school sweetheart. It was all-around perfect, but the festivities didn’t leave me any time for my usual LYS explorations, so Mom […]
Read More Mass Ave Knit ShopMy LYS The Studio Knitting and Needlepoint is doing something really fun this summer: free one hour demos of different yarn techniques and, if you like them, projects to master them.
