Update Time

::ringing of the proverbial dinner bell::

Come and get it! The shop has been updated with some new fingering weight, a new worsted (in the test phase) and some Useful Restorative and Useful Irradiant Limited quantities right now but be on the look out for more colors from the Happily Ever After Collection- including Where the Wild Things Are (an homage to the recently deceased and much missed Maurice Sendak), Badass Unicorn and Troll Bridge.

Sneaking a Peek at Happily Ever After

We are here today to introduce two new colors to the line up of Happily Ever After: a Fairy Tale Collection. 

Bad Ass Unicorn in Useful Irradiant, Useful Restorative and TBN merinoFirst up Bad Ass Unicorn. A Berry Purple to raspberry pink depending on the base it's dyed in. 

Then Troll Bridge, a reddigh brown with warm orange undertones. It's like fall leaves piled beneath a bridge that could have anything lurking in it.

Troll Bridge in Useful Irradiant, Useful Restorative and a TBN merinoHas your curosity been piqued? What colors do you want to see The Wool Dispensary produce this year?

FO Thursday?

Monday got away from me before I could blink so to wrap up our lovely April Understory KAL here is a line up of finishers on a Tuesday.

Taschenmaedchen (on ravelry)  finished hers in Schoeller+Stahl Merino Mix.

Skyhooked knit hers in Schaefer Yarn Company Lola Superwash, and achieved a lovely pooling effect.

emeemknit did hers in Brown Sheep Prairie Silks and it looks awesome.

Bflo's is Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran, looking nice and tweedy

dukecreeker did about 4 repeats and knit in Paton's Classic Wool.

Shinies has hers knit in The Alpaca Yarn Co. Astral, and it looks like she shortened hers too.

She also took a picture of it on her pup! I am sucker for a good 'knitted thing on dog' picture.

Valkyrie knit one in an unidentified yarn

and last but least, one last one from Girlwithapurl in Berroco's Boboli.

Congratulations to all our FO Knitters! They all look so lovely. I might just contemplate starting another, because I finished mine, right under the wire on April 30th. 

We won't be KALing in May. Much like Malabrigo hold the fort on March, Madelinetosh has taken over the needles come May, so look for another KAL in June!

Sidetracked

Instead of working on my Understory cowl, which I had to frog and restart because apparently I can't count. Apparently I had 128 stitches on my needle, I figured that out after knitting all the ribbing. No problem, it's coming with me to Dark Lord Day in Muenster, Indiana and nothing could possibly go wrong when mixing a lace pattern and heavy drinking, right? I was sidetracked by the utterly adorable Basil the Boogie Woogie Dinosaur (the newest Rebecca Danger pattern) or as I am calling mine, Thorfinn the Disco Viking Ship. He still needs legs and I have to go to work, so the leg bits will have to wait until I return home. I guess you can say I have traded in one KAL for another, as she is running a Basil KAL on her blog to better help knitters along with some of the sticky bits of knitting him. I am using some left over bits from the Circus Showgirl's Plumes KAL we ran in January. Useful Irradiant in Flying Fishers and Rêveur have found their way to another life as Thorfinn. 

FO Monday
