How can you not love garter stitch? Joeli has designed this stunning & cozy shawl using natural shades of a DK yarn. I just want to wrap up in it! And check out Joeli's other patterns, she has loads of fun ones! AND Joeli is teaching a couple of classes for us at the retreat. If you'd like to sign up for the retreat, the application is here OR if you can't attend the entire retreat, you can sign up to take a class (or 2 or 3) here.

I (C.C.) can highly recommend this beautiful strawberry themed yarn kit. Why? Because I have it!!!!! The yarn is even more stunning in person and the goodies are such fun! Lizi has a fabulous colour sense and we're excited to have her at our market.

2016 Vendor Spotlight: Inspiration Knits, Porpoise Fur, & Yarn in the City

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 Inspiration Knits, Porpoise Fur, and Yarn in the City.

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!)

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? Each month, club members receive 4oz of fibre (approximately 113 g) dyed in an exclusive colourway inspired by a great female scientist. We approve!




© Yarn in the City

Our friends Alli & Rachel are the brains behind Yarn in the City. They recently hosted their annual Great London Yarn Crawl and their Yarnporium is coming up the weekend before the GPKP retreat. They also released their book, the London Craft Guide, last autumn. It is full of info about shops in London and the surrounding area plus fabulous patterns. Pick up your copy at our Vendor Market.
