my soysilk buddies

Meet SOYphia and LanceSOYlot! Aren't they adorable? I was having a particularly bad day last week (email/computer issues) and in the midst of it all I opened a box to see these sweet little faces and it really brightened my day!

They're from the Land of Tofu! and are made of 100% soysilk exterior- you just have to give them a hug when you're in!

new yarn in

Here's a look at the newest yarn in the shop. It's Harrisville's new bulky 100% virgin wool in beautiful heathered shades- 18 colors. I added it online this morning, but may need to re-photograph as the colors don't look as rich as they should. I think this photo is better, though. Of course, the best view is from inside the shop! I'm partial to the blues and greens, of course. This is another one of those yarns that makes me want to design something using every color...

welcome to my blog

This is a little reminiscent of my first painting class, when the canvas was all stretched and primed and oh, so empty and beautiful. I never have a problem beginning to knit- not even when I don't have a clue what will come off the needles- it just evolves... but the big blank canvas is a real hurdle for me. Maybe it's because as knitters, we can erase to perfection by simply unraveling- I'm fearless with my knitting...

So... help me if you can- what would you like to see in wildflower's blog? I'm envisioning pictures of new products as they arrive and designs as they evolve- inspirations as they come- any other ideas?

We do have lot's of exciting classes lined up at Wildflower for September - check out the listings at http://www.wildflowerknits.com/!
