*My shop will be updated today (March 19th) at 11 am ET.*
Here’s a little preview of what is in today’s shop update. There are three shawl kits in case you want to knit Andrea’s Shawl and missed getting a kit last month. There are also some very fun mini skeins sets. I really enjoy dyeing those up! Some of you have asked what to do with mini skeins. So here are a few ideas: this, this, colorful stripes on this, or this. I also came across this book (affiliate link). If you do a search for “mini skein projects” you will find countless ideas! I dyed more playsilks and there is still plenty of time to get them before Easter.
Seth has also updated his shop with a bunch of new hand turned candle holders in a variety of different woods. I love them all so much! I’m lucky that some don’t turn out perfectly, and he gives me those! If you order from both of us and leave me a note, I’ll be sure that your orders are combined and you get a shipping refund. Thanks so much!

Ginny, I was wondering if you could give some advice on getting started with a lathe? My 15yo wants to start doing more advanced woodworking.
Donna says
Yes! That caught my eye as well. Very pretty candle.
I am just learning to knit. I practice a lot. My first piece has some dropped stitches. But it wasn’t bad for my starting piece. I find it relaxing and enjoyable to do. I’m learning from You Tube. If you can get through those first 3-4 days, pretty frustrating, then you’ll start to ‘get it’. That is how it went for me. I’m no way close to Ginny’s expertise, but if I keep practicing, then I’ll get there. It’s fun. Ginny inspired me to learn to knit.

I also feel inspired, but don`t know where to start. It is good to hear that it gets easier after first 3-4 days. Would you please recommend me few youtube videos? Thank you!
Donna says
In the search bar type in knitting for beginners. There are many of them. I watch several different ones. Some are better than others. Have fun.
Luana says
Thank you!

I love the carved looking beeswax candle at the top of your post.
Do you make these, as well?
Lovely.
