Heather Ross (of munki-munki) has a new collection of fabrics out with Free Spirit. Very exciting! See the gnomes! Too good. There are more than what I've shown, see here. (to see them; go to free spirit->lightning bugs and other mysteries->coordinates) They will be available in mid-October online over at Cia's Palette (really wonderful online fabric shop!) very very excited.
Helen over at stripy sock studio (really funny and great blog) has a stripy sock photo competition going on for the month of September. And there is a prize! See the gallery for the great submissions so far. I need to bust out my striped socks and get snapping. It's just getting cold enough now to even think about socks. This great stripy sock photo here is of Helen's sock drawer!
I saw this kit here locally (at the toy shop on nw 23rd for all you portland people) and this company, Harrisville, has these great metal, not plastic, potholder looms with 100% cotton or wool loops! I only usually see nylon and I know both Stephanie and Sarah have been working with/looking for/ potholder stuff. Sorry I am too lazy to link to where you all were talking about this, but I know you were at some point. And Stephanie, they do sell just the loops at the shop on 23rd. You can get them at The Woolery online as well, which is a fiber online shop new to me and has a kids section for crafty fiber fun. Sadie needs to be a but older for almost all of this, but that won't stop me from buying, I'm sure. I made so many potholders from my loom when I was little. I have no idea what we did with them.
And, as of yesterday or so, Back Tack II buddies have been matched up! very exciting. I have been lurking on my buddy's weblog already and have made contact with her (albeit with a made up name.) all the details are on the Back Tack II weblog and I sure am glad I ready the FAQ because I was totally about to blow the whole thing the the first day. oops.
