January's "Spoiler"

Here we go!  January's spoiler picture and we're almost onto February!  Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this yarn and colourway.  The base yarn is a new one for me and I thought it'd be great for the clubbers too.  It has 25% nylon with 75% superwash merino and should knit up into a nice, strong, long-wearing sock if that's what you choose to knit.  It's a slightly lighter fingering weight and would probably work really well with US1 needles.  I don't know about you but I like a light fingering weight every once in awhile for the pretty little stitches it creates.  Enjoy!

January's "Teaser"

Everything is ready and mailing today! These colourways were oh-so-nice to handpaint I must say! I decided to focus on a couple of the colour tones from the painting as they were very complimentary and soothing together. I hope you enjoy my choice too! I like these colours together a lot :)

Happy New Year everyone!

January's Inspiration - Claude Monet

I thought it would be a good time to do another painting by Claude Monet and this one is gorgeous! We haven't done a lot of green in the club so far so I thought it'd be nice to venture into some for the first month of the new year. This painting is called Le Pont Japonais a Giverny and is a wonderful landscape painting of a Japanese bridge.

Happy New Year everyone and hope you all had a wonderful holiday season :)
