Happy Friday yall! In the weeks leading up to the Geeky Puffin Knit Palooza, we want to highlight our amazing vendors who will be joining us to sell their wares on Saturday, 12-November.

This week we feature Sara's Texture Crafts & Tara Swiger.

How stunning are these mini-skeins by Sara's Texture Crafts?! My favourite is the one that looks like pumpkin spice with pink thrown in (but I'm sure that doesn't surprise you!). If you are knitting one of the many available versions of sock yarn blankets, these mini-skeins are a perfect purchase for you. Make sure and pop by Sara's booth at the Vendor Market to get your hands on some.




© Tara Swiger

I've been learning from Tara Swiger for the last year and a half. Her insights about marketing your creative business without feeling strange about it (plus loads of other lessons) have helped my business grow so much. Tara will have her Market Yourself books available for purchase at the vendor market (and if you haven't signed up to take her Map Making and/or Get More Done in Your Business class(es) at the retreat, go sign up here now! You can take her classes without coming to the entire retreat.).

Happy Friday yall! In the weeks leading up to the Geeky Puffin Knit Palooza, we want to highlight our amazing vendors who will be joining us to sell their wares on Saturday, 12-November.

This week we feature Emily Cross Ceramics & Yarnistry.

Scrolling through the pictures of Emily's hand thrown ceramic yarn bowls, I couldn't stop oohing and aahing! Each bowl has a unique look and I want to bring all of them home to live with me. You'll definitely want to check out Emily's yarn bowls at the vendor market.




© Yarnistry

I just cannot get over how much I love these stitch markers! The glitter ones especially call my name. Emma has several different styles from sock knitting, crochet, shapes, stitch reminders, & many more (and she even has non-glittery ones for those who don't love glitter as much as I do!). I'll definitely be picking up a set (or two or more).

Happy Friday yall! In the weeks leading up to the Geeky Puffin Knit Palooza, we want to highlight our amazing vendors who will be joining us to sell their wares on Saturday, 12-November.

This week we feature Doodlestop & Phileas Yarns.




© Doodlestop

Am I the only one who constantly has a ball of yarn rolling onto the floor, under my chair, around the leg, and just out of reach? I didn't think so! Becky of Doodlestop addresses this common problem with her yarn buddy. It may be the perfect solution to those pesky balls of yarn that just won't stay where the belong.




© Phileas Yarns

How stunning is this yarn! Sylvie of Phileas Yarns is inspired by travel and it shows in her gorgeous yarns! This colourway seems perfect for this autumnal time of year. And I've seen (and squished and knit with) Sylvie's yarn. You'll definitely want to get your hands on some of it.

There are so many gorgeous items in the An Caitin Beag shop! I had trouble picking out just one thing to highlight. But when I saw this stunning rose quartz shawl pin, I knew it was the perfect piece to share with yall. Looking forward to seeing Marna's products in person at the Vendor Market!




© Owl About Yarn

This colourway of yarn is a perfect match for the GPKP. Why you ask? Because it's all our favourite colours - pink, purple, and turquoise (or as we call it, teal). Jennie has loads of lovely yarns and project bags (and I can say that for sure because I have some!). Jennie is attending the entire retreat and we can't wait to spend time with her and see her lovely items at the Vendor Market.

Louise has loads of lovely patterns in her store. As we looked through them to choose one to highlight, we were instantly drawn to the Siren Song. The stunning scallops and waves plus the 3 size options makes this a perfect pattern to knit. (And it doesn't hurt that it was knit in Dami's favourite colour, purple!)




© Porpoise Fur

Rachel of Porpoise Fur will not only be teaching classes for us, but also will be selling her lovely fibre at the vendor market. Have you heard about her Lab Goddess Fibre Club?
