So I want to thank Diana of poppybrew for suggesting this site.  I went ahead and opened up.  You can find my shop here.  I will keep everyone posted as to how it is going. 
I am interested in their referral program.  Apparently they offer you $5 when you open a shop and list more than 20 items.  They will also give you $5 for every shop that you refer that does the same.  Here is the address to create your store and they will give you $5 when your store has 20 or more items, and give me $5 for the referral...Whew, that seemed like a mouthful. 

Let me know if you have any questions

Bernat Mosaic Yarn

I picked  up two skeins of  Bernat Mosaic Yarn this week.  One Waterfalls and one Psychedelic. I started slowly with the Waterfalls, making a really nice bracelet as a custom order for a friend, but with the Psychedelic, I really wanted to see how the colors come out so I jumped right in and made a hat. 

A few notes on this yarn:
1) The striping on the hat is perfect!  If I had more patience, the stripes would meet seamlessly.
2) I have decided to market this yarn as "Vegan fake wool"  It has the look and the feel of wool, yet it is 100% acrylic!
3) I would definitely buy this yarn again.  I bought the last skein of Psychedelic at my local  Jo-Ann Fabrics, but hopefully they will be restocking soon, as I think this may be a popular hat!  I would also like to try some other patterns with this yarn.

I love sharing my reviews of yarn with people.  Any yarn you would like to know about?  I have tried nearly all of the mainstream brands!  Let me know, or just wait for it to come around!

Feeling good

Great day!  Bought some brand new yarn! http://www.bernat.com/product.php?LGC=mosaic  I brought home waterfall and Psychedelic.  So far I made a great bracelet with waterfall, and I am looking forward to following that up with a headband.  I was going to do some small things with the Psychedelic as well...but there are so many colors to it I think I will start with a beanie.  After I see how the colors map out I will have a better idea about what else it wants to be.  

Hopefully this yarn isn't discontinued by the time I decide I want more, as often happens. Right now I am in the process of trying to find all the Patons Rumor I possibly can...so if you know anyone ;)  Currently looking for the Fern and Hawthorn heathers :)

Great week for custom orders, just received #4!  I am ready for more!  Please stop by  my shop and let me know if there is something I can make for you!  All blog followers receive free shipping! (just include BLOG in the notes to seller and let me know if you would like a revised listing or a refund via paypal)
