Great Northern Pre-order Event!

From now until July 31st is the Great Northern Pre-order Event!!! Can you feel the excitement? You're probably waiting to find out what that means, exactly, before getting too excited. Fair enough.

Teresa and I were talking about how much shipping costs can prevent us from pulling the trigger on our own purchases, and realized that doing a free shipping deal would be a fantastic way to get new people interested in the book, and possibly entice our existing audience to buy multiple copies for gifts. So, here we are, making it happen!

For a limited time, take advantage of FREE SHIPPING* on the Great Northern print book (AND yarn from Mrs. Crosby! See below...)

When you pre-order July 21th-31st, you get free shipping on the book. Or many books, as many as you want to buy for gifts.

ALSO! During this time, thanks to our amazing friends at Gather DTLA (srsly go check this place out), you can get free shipping on 4 or more skeins of Mrs. Crosby Steamer Trunk! Whether you're going to use the yarn for a Great Northern sweater or not, stock up on these beauties while they are still available.

Preorder the Great Northern print book with free shipping! 

(US only)

Yarn yarn yarn!

Have you been itching to get your hands on some of the lovely worsted yarn from Mrs. Crosby? Steamer Trunk is a smooth, soft, substantial yarn that I designed two sweaters with for Great Northern, and love so much. It's a workhorse yarn that feels luxurious and rich.

For a limited time, you can get free shipping on your Mrs. Crosby Steamer Trunk yarn order! Thanks to Gather DTLA, you can order some yarn and knit along with us on this sweater this fall. 

If you're in Los Angeles, come to the swatch party at Gather on Thursday, July 21st!

Which color combo of Steamer Trunk would you choose?

Take advantage of this offer through July 31st! 

Special Neon Logo Bag, now with More Yarn!

One of the wonderful things about my tendency towards stash hoarding is that I occasionally have more yarn in a certain dyelot than I think I do... this time you get to reap the benefits!

I found an additional skein of Mrs Crosby Steamer Trunk in Hot Pimento... meaning that the Special Neon Logo bag now contains:

bright neon happiness!

• 3 skeins of Mrs Crosby Steamer Trunk in Hot Pimento (reds)
• 2 skeins of Mrs Crosby Steamer Trunk in Squid Ink (blacks)
• 1 skein of Fancy Tiger Crafts Heirloom Romney in Hubbard (aqua)
• 1 Cascade Kid Seta Shawl kit (teal/aqua)
• 1 gorgeous handknit beanie made by designer Allyson Dykhuizen (featured in Knitscene--this ACTUAL hat sample!)

GOOD DEAL.

The yarn retail value ALONE in this bag is over $180. For $200, you also get the handknit hat, the one-of-a-kind Neon Logo Bag, and print book and ebook of Great Northern.

Look for this one-of-a-kind reward on our Kickstarter page at the $200 level!

Great Northern: Pullover Sneak Peek

I've been knitting away on a sweater for our Twin Peaks-inspired collection, Great Northern, and wanted to give you a peek.

Over the next few weeks, leading up to our Kickstarter launch mid-August, Teresa and I will be filling you in on what we've been working on so far.

I completely fell in love with these two colors of Mrs Crosby Steamer Trunk, and knew the vibrant red/black combination would be perfect for a Twin Peaksy pullover. I designed a colorwork pattern and got to work on this sexy raglan -- not two words I use together often... but it applies here!

It's working out really well. The texture is divine, and I love how the pattern looks.

This is my only design for the collection that was not directly inspired by a character's wardrobe. This one has aesthetic elements from the show itself, rather than being an interpretation of a sweater worn by Audrey, Donna, or the Log Lady, who influenced my other designs. 

See you soon with another glimpse...
