Heads up

Heads up for Black Bunny Fibers customers:  remember when I told you I was working on a website update? Things are moving along, and as part of the changes, I am now going to be selling my yarns and fibers via ArtFire. You can go here to see my ArtFire studio. Early reports are that it's easy and convenient to use. If you're on Facebook, please "like" the Black Bunny Fibers page. I'm going to be using it more and more to post photos of products, special offers and other information, and it also has a direct link to my ArtFire shop to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. One thing I love about the new site is that I can show nice big photos, with multiple shots of the same item. Here are some of the new items I listed this week:

Pick up Line: Falkland SoftSilk

Exotic: Custom blend 100% wool

Blazer: Falkland Silksock

Punkin Pah: Plump Wool Nylon Sock

P.S. Registration for VK Live: Chicago is now open, and you can sign up for my classes (including 2 new selections -- Mitten Mojo, and an introduction to the law designed especially for knitters and designers). I'd love to see you there!

Big news

I've been quiet lately -- a nasty case of bronchitis that has had me coughing like crazy. It always seems weird to be sick like that in the warm weather. But I am hoping the worst of it is over. In the mean time, big news:

I will be teaching this coming January at Vogue Knitting Live!



I'm teaching two classes, one called "Yarn Substitution Made Simple" and one called "Making Friends with Your Handpaints." I hope you will sign up for them so I am not mortified by poor attendance...I promise the classes will be fun and you will learn some helpful things that you can use in your knitting. It's going to be a tremendous weekend, with really amazing instructors like Meg Swansen and Shirley Paden and the Koigu ladies and Debbie Bliss and Kristin Nicholas and Brooklyn Tweed. Even Veve and Franklin will be there teaching!

Best of all, you can be sure that all proper visas will be obtained well in advance of the show.

While you are waiting for January to roll around, take a gander at some of the nice things I've just listed on the BBF site. Sport/DK weight grab bags... a great new base yarn in suri alpaca/merino with sweater quantity available...try a nice big skein of Superwash Merino Classic in WORSTED weight to make a nice scarf for yourself... so please help me create space for fall yarns by taking some of these lovelies home. Free shipping, too.
