spring sale: price slash & free shipping

it's the time of year when all things warm, woollen & alpaca are off season ( in the northern hemisphere, that is) & a sale is in order. generally, this is the best time to shop for the next winter if you happen to be a bargain hunter or you've loved something but it was a bit out of your spending budget (oh to have an unlimited clothing & accessories budget!). to that end, i'm having a shopwide sale & that includes all the posh alpaca infinity scarves & cowls here .
Additionally, there are Free Shipping coupon codes to use at checkout:
US FREE SHIPPING on orders of $45 or more use: FREESHIP

Introducing the Riordan Infinity Scarf & Giveaway Coming

I wanted to make something a little special to add to my shop offerings for this winter & came up with the RIORDAN. It's roughly the same size as the SAMANTHA but made with a different stitch. I've made these scarves with a crochet stitch that lends texture & cuddliness. The yarn used is extremely soft & in some quite lovely jewelled colors. I'll be adding them to the shop this weekend, so do look for RIORDAN infinity scarves here.

Additionally, one of the lovely RIORDAN scarves (the royal purple) will be given away on GoForTheGusto Blog. Halley's blog is lovely & has wonderful style collections, so drop by & check it out. I'll post here with the direct link to the scarf giveaway when it goes live, so stay tuned.
Have a Great Weekend!

In the 'tique: ARIA Spring/ Summer Infinity Scarves

I've finally gotten around to taking photos of the lightweight infinity scarves I've done. I love these for their feel & color. The Aria is very much about feminine colors, though I do know guys who can just as easily rock yellow & coral as any chica. These are perfect indoors and out & work as a year round accessory.

What I've Been Up To: Striped Infinity Scarves

So it's pretty clear that I'm an infinity scarf addict. Love them,
love to make them & love to wear them. Anyway, I'd been wanting to do
something a little bit different with them so I came up with striped
versions. No-brainer, right? I love them & one of the best things
about them, they're even more versatile with dual complimentary
colors. The grey & black was like, the ultimate for me because it's
two of my favorite colors & pretty much goes with anything in my
wardrobe (not that the same couldn't be said for a good number of
other people). The red & black was inspired by Helena Bonham Carter's
Queen of Hearts in Burton's Alice In Wonderland. It also kinda reminds
me of Halloween & Freddy Kruger but that's not macabre at all. Right?

When Infinity Scarves Sell Out

It happens every year. There's always something that grabs the zeitgeist flag and runs away with regard to my shop. This year, it's the Samantha Infinity Scarves. Honestly, some haven't even made it to my online shops. I assure you, the sapphire blue was really pretty. ;)

So I'm working my phalanges off to restock & get more listed in my shop. And with that, I'm going to get back to work.

Besos! xoxo

Yarn Love... Part Deux

Well, here's more perfect yarn from Irish Meadows. I'm using it to make another custom Samantha Infinity Scarf & it's a true joy. Scrummy, yummy & sumptuous aren't enough to describe how soft this feels. I'm loving working with this. Srsly. I'll be sure to post pics of the finished Samantha when complete. This color is called Maroon.

Well, autumn is coming & orange is one of those colors. Actually, orange seems to be good for both summer & fall. Hm. Well, either season it reigns is, Norris is fresh and eye-catching. I love it!

Details, Details! Things To Do, Things To Get Done!

Last night I had one of those moments of clarity that shocked me out of the calm blue cloud I was drifting on. It dawned on me that I'm days away from August & I don't feel like I've the amount of inventory I wanted to have for the upcoming season by now. Yikes!

I've pulled out all the Evie hoods I've completed to decide what's going out to consignment & what I'm retaining for my various online venues. I still have Samantha infinity scarves to make in black & gray & I'm contemplating expanding that line with regard to colors. And I've a mountain of yarn full of skeins giving me the Use Me Next! pitch.

That's all for now. I've got to get on. There's a white cashmere scarf that's expecting me to have it finished by noon. ;)

Besos!
