Thank you, thank you to ALL who have purchased and continue to purchase my AT Last Shawl pattern on Ravely! I can't wait to see ALL you finished Shawls! Please make sure you post your finished or in progress shawls on the pattern page so we can all see! I will be posting a picture of a larger version of the At Last Shawl to the pattern page in the next couple of days...it's blocking right now! I knit the larger version out of Fleur de Fiber Atlantis yarn in the Dragonfly color way. The fabulous skein was gifted to me last Christmas, by my son and his lovely wife and it is AMAZING! I never thought Rayon and Nylon would be so luscious! If you are one of those who are allergic to wool this yarn is for you! With 710 yards a skein and some beautiful colors, see if it is still available! Wait till you see, but trust me on the feel and drape of this one!
ETSY SHOP: The NEW Knitting Ditty Bag has been a huge hit and the Large size actually sold out! Now the Large size is back in stock for a limited time in the Jolly Farm UK fabric, so get yours! However if you are a sock knitter or shawl and accessory knitter/crocheter, the small and medium size is in the shop and available for immediate shipping! At a reduced price, but with wonderful features, this new design to the shop has been a hit. Customers are also loving the options section of the shop and there is already feedback for the internal zipper option! YEAH! It's wonderful to be able to create a project bag that is made special just for you! Get ALL you want or no extras...but get it your way! You can add options to the Large Zippered Project Bag Build a Bag or the Large Knitting Ditty Bag!
If you have been to the shop lately or follow MariaElenaBliss on Facebook, you have noticed some clear crisp new photos for some of the shop's project and notion bags. I was lucky enough to have a professional photo shoot for the project bags with product photographer, Mandy Bennett! Mandy was the photographer for the At Last Shawl and I feel so lucky to have been able to secure her services for the Etsy shop. Now you can see sharper pictures of the shop's project bags which will help MariaElenaBliss customers make a more informed purchase decision.
The Shop's XL Macaroons have been very popular! More and more of you have been discovering the charm and solid construction of this accessory! Make sure you add one of these to your project bag order and see for yourself what a piece de resistance this charming XL Macaroon truly is...two sizes available and two different price points!
EVENTS: Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend an amazing sweater design workshop with non other than Carol Feller! The class was in Sarasota at A Great Yarn yarn store and was so well attended! Carol is a wonderfully caring, informative and lovely person, but as a structural engineer, she is the perfect teacher for this topic. It was great to see Carol again and if you ever have the opportunity to attend a class given by Carol, don't hesitate! If you want to have the benefit of having Carol in your own living room, make sure you sign up for one of her Craftsy classes! She even has a FREE Short Rows Craftsy Class! Get her free Craftsy class and you will fall in love with her Ravi Sweater she wears to record this class...I have knit two already!!! It is a great sweater and interesting design. There is even a Ravi Junior. pattern available which I will be knitting for my brand new, granddaughter, Mia! Carol has also just released two new shawl patterns which are gorgeous, so check out her Ravelry shop or her blog, Stolen Stitches, to get the latest news on both of these available patterns.
LIFE: Well, for many of us, school is in session! This means, crazy schedules and a lot less time for the crafty life we love. I hope you find the time to work on new projects as well as those you have on your needles. Be good to yourself first!
For my US customers, this weekend will be Labor Day. I hope all of you have fun plans for this much celebrated holiday, or are looking forward to spending an extra day with your family and friends. Maybe even some knitting/crochet/spinning/sewing time will be in the near future! How ever you plan on celebrating, please be safe! I look forward to blogging with you next time. And as always, thank you for finding my Bliss!
Maria
