Fasten Off Yarn-a-long 2020

 

The Fasten Off Yarn-a-long 2020 begins today, and I am delighted to be a participating designer. This is a new event, and I hope you will join in. 

What is FO2020? It is a designer and crafter event. The designers will all be offering patterns at a 25% discount starting today, November 25, 2020 through December 5, 2020. Use the code FO2020 to get the discount. Over 90 designers and 2000 patterns are part of the event. This is an accessible event, which means all of the patterns are available off of ravelry. All the patterns and e-books in my etsy shop are part of the event. 

Once you have a pattern and project, join in the fun! You can play games, yarn-a-long, and interact with the FO community all through December, 2020. Not able to buy a pattern right now? No problem. You can work from a pattern you already own from a participating designer. 

All the details are found here:

I'm also running my annual Turkey Time 20 % off sale on ravelry, but the FO2020 is a better discount. 

Did I mention games and prizes? Have fun!

A big celebration, giveaway and new pattern!

                                     
Celebration time! 
I am celebrating the 18th birthday of my daughter, who you all know as my model. She began modeling for me six years ago with my very first pattern submitted to a Markman Farms loom contest. In honor of this very special birthday and as a big thank you to all of you for supporting me over the past six years, all patterns purchases during the next month will be entered into a prize drawing. 

The prizes are: 
1. A 66 peg CinDwood loom with color pegs of your choice (you can see in the photo that kitty favors the red pegs)
2. A Kiss Dragon loom  - this is the brand new Kiss large gauge adjustable loom with 42 pegs.
3. A Land's End Medium zip top tote bag - my favorite project bag, choice of color
4. A "My Loom Stuff" tote bag from Cafe' Press
5. A $20 Knit Pick's gift certificate
6. A $20 Invisible Loom gift certificate

The drawing will take place on September 16th. Purchases through September 15th are eligible for the drawing. One entry per person. 

I'm also pleased to share a new pattern with you, "Sunlight Cowl".   $4.50 US

 

Add a little bit of lace to a little bit of cabling and you have a beautiful cowl. This is a perfect pattern for variegated and solid yarns. It has a sophisticated look that makes it the great fall accessory and a lovely holiday gift. A variety of looms may be used, and beads may be added for a little something extra.
Blocked size:
3/8 gauge 82 pegs: 21 inches around by 13 inches tall
½ gauge 90 pegs: 28 inches around by 15 inches tall
5/8 gauge 100 pegs: 30 inches around by 16 inches tall

Looms:
3/8 inch gauge, 82 pegs in the round
½ inch gauge, 90 pegs in the round
5/8 inch gauge, 100 pegs in the round
The pattern includes a chart with additional loom configurations that may be used. Looms with a peg multiple of 9, or 9 plus 1, will work with the pattern.


Thank you all, and please celebrate with me!

New pattern, sale, and summer looming!

I'm very happy to introduce a new pattern called "Leafing". Part cowl, part shawl, and all fun. Leafing is scarf that likes to be worn in different ways. Lace it up, add beads, pin it together – there is no wrong way to wear Leafing. This pattern uses a 1/2 inch gauge loom with at least 90 pegs. 

$4.50 US  

The Ravelry Loom Knitter's group is hosting their bi-annual "Looms in Bloom" event (more about that below). As a tie in, the Loom-a-long group is hosting my Travel by Rail Shawl as the July loom-a-long pattern. 

Through July, 2015, I'm offering the Travel by Rail pattern collection for $7.50. This includes the Travel by Rail Beret and Travel by Rail Cuffs as well as the Travel by Rail Shawl.

To get the special collection price, simply add all three patterns to your shopping cart on Ravelry, and the discount will be applied. It also includes prior pattern purchases, so if you already some of the patterns, you can get the others at the discount price.

Looms in Bloom will be starting in just a few days. We've already begun the previews, and it looks to be a wonderful trip. We are traveling by "virtual" rail all over the globe with our looms and yarn, challenging ourselves to make projects. It is all in fun, but what fun it is! There will also be a great Traveler's Bazaar on July 3rd and 4th, as well as a daily tea to relax and visit with your friends. Please come join us on for this wonderful event.

So Much Looming News

I have a bunch of very exciting loom knitting news to share with you. The first is "The Great Loom Knitting Afghan Project". This is a wonderful collaboration of 8 designers for the benefit of Doctors without Borders. We are all contributing afghan square designs to an e-book. The e-book will be available for pre-orders in a few weeks, and published January, 2015. All proceeds will be donated to Doctors without Borders. Books that are pre-ordered and purchased in January will be entered in a prize drawing for a loom and loom pattern books, and some other surprises. The book will only be available during 2015. Every month of 2015, the Loom-a-long group in Ravelry will have a loom-a-long for one square. I'm the lucky editor of the book, and I must say that the patterns are AMAZING. Watch for more announcements as we get closer to publication.

The Ravelry Loom-a-long group has been working on making mitts and mittens from my Kitten's Lost Mittens e-book. The loom-a-long ends in November, but December is our "unfinished objects" loom-a-long, so please bring anything you are working on and visit with the group. 

We've started a group for loom knitting pattern designers over on Ravelry.  If you are designing and entering your patterns in the Ravelry pattern database, we would love to have you join our conversations. 

Starting this Friday, November 28, 2014 through Monday, December 1, 2014, I have a 20 percent off sale for all of my patterns and books. Enter the code LOOMLOVE at check out for the discount.

 Marly Bird will also have a huge listing of yarny specials over the holiday week and weekend for you to check out. 

This little page of gift tags might be fun for your holiday gifts. Please feel free to print it out and enjoy the tags.
