This year resolve to create with an exquisite yarn with exceptional softness! Every project you knit or crochet will be a dream with one of my Sandrsingh.com Yarns, and during the month of January they are 20-30% Off! All three of my yarns are spun from amazingly soft 100% Uruguayan merino wool and hand painted by artisans in brilliant colorways. 1 Ply Merino Worsted is a smooth yarn that knits up with beautiful stitch definition.
You'll enjoy working with it and creating very special garments and accessories, try JOJI's new Girly cardigan or Lisa Ellis Designs' Hooded Scarves and Cowls.

Lisa Ellis Designs' Hooded Scarves and CowlsLace knitters will rejoice with the lovely shawls and stoles they'll create in my Lace, and with a generous 950 yards per hank they'll also love the fact there are fewer ends to weave in!
One skein is all you need to knit Brooklyn Tweed's Celes Stole or Knitspot's Icicle Dreams shawl and 3 skeins for Knitspot' generously sized Snowflakes in Cedarwoods square shaped shawl.

Perhaps, like me, in 2012 you've resolved to share your love of knitting by teaching someone special to knit. Make the experience fun and rewarding for a child with a Fiber Craft Studio Lamb and Hedgehog puppet kit. On Sale, both include 100% naturally dyed wool yarn and just about everything you need except the needles and the child!
Hedgehog Hand Puppet
For a teen or adult who is just learning a scarf is always a great first time project and these two patterns by Schaefer use only one skein of their bulky weight yarn, which knits up fast for an added sense of accomplishment! Jiffy One Skein Scarves are knit in Kathleen while the Five Fabulous Scarves in Elaine, both patterns teach the basics of how to cast on, knit, purl and bind off.
