new things.
It’s awfully spring-y around here. It’s almost too spring-y. Especially for March. But, I am quite enjoying the warmer air and sunshine.
It’s also been a little more motivating to get into the dyeroom lately instead of hunkering down and knitting. But there has been knitting ongoing, too. :)
New in the Etsy shop:
Rovings! BFL-silk and merino-cashmere – YUM.
And, a new sock pattern! Available on Ravelry, at the moment.
In a few weeks we will publish a new Ennea Collective. It seems to be a time of new things, lately and to come! I am enjoying all the productive work. See you soon with more new things!

do you like to knit?
Well, then. I have some knitting patterns for you.
The first is a Mystery Sock KAL.
I find this time of year can get a bit dreary, although I should not really complain - we've had what is known as an 'open' winter this season - a winter with not much snow on the ground at any given time. We've had a few storms, but nothing which piled up. In between, it melted. Sometimes I would prefer more snow. The changes in the weather are not always appreciated by my old bod. However, I also do not have to drive to work every morning, working from home, so I am not one to discuss whether or not snow is better than dry pavement. I think most folks would like the pavement.
In any event, we're having a KAL to liven things up, via Oceanwind Knits on Ravlery.com. All of the details are listed here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mystery-sock-kal1. The clues will be sent around to participants weekly, beginning February 1st. I think it will be a lot of fun. :)
And, two new patterns are now available on Ennea Collective: The Foehn Mitts & Cowl.
These are a set knit in fair isle-style, classic but fun. The patterns are available individually (here and here) or as an eBook - here - and if you like to spin, there are notes about how to spin yarn for this set on Ennea Collective. If you're not a spinner or would rather use commercially-available yarn, they will knit up nicely in a sport-weight wool.
Coming soon we have another Fibre Club on Ennea Collective - Watch for details on the Ennea Collectvie Blog or on the Ravelry Group. There will be new yarns and fibres via Oceanwind Knits, and new patterns.
I am also looking at the possibility of setting up spin-/knit-ins locally. If you think you would be interested in joining us (I am about an hour + 20 mins from Kitchener & Guelph, about an hour from Owen Sound... it's probably a bit of a stretch from the Toronto area, but if you were in the mood, it's about 2.5 hours of driving) please let me know. I will keep folks updated once the details are lined up.
It's turning out to be a busy 2012 so far!
