Drop Box Sale

It's time to do a little business. This weekend the Phat Fiber Sampler boxes drop! As such, a good lot of contributors have "box drop" sales for this particular weekend. It's to encourage sales and get people into the Buy Phat Incentive with some savings on their favorite things. This month Phat Fiber is giving away the Super Box (all the contents in the preview videos), a Charka Wheel, and cotton to spin. There are already 132+ entries! Holy moly!

In keeping with tradition, I'll be hosting a 15% off sale. Click "more" for details.

Look & Feel

First let's take a look as to what my wallpaper has changed to this week.

"I'm five...I'm fine."

"Amy, why are you counting?" - Doctor
"No, I'm not." - Amy
"You just said, five." - Doctor
"No, I didn't." - Amy
"Yes, you did." - River

The winner of our last giveaway is (cue drum roll or current Dr. Who theme) Pixelated Mushroom. To the victor goes the spoils. Spoils being that sheepishly cute sheep pen, delightful dragon stitch markers and small sampler of handspun yarn. Congratulations!

For our next giveaway, stay tuned. You won't want to miss it. I hope to have it ready by mid August.

In other news:

• The injections to my shoulder are helping! Yay! I was able to spin for a half hour without pain. Hooray, hooray, hooray! Friday, they will take x-rays of my neck and we will determine whether it's back to work.
• As far as knitting goes, I've finished the first sleeve of Isabella's sweater and turning the heel on Uncle Glen's first sock. My first bit of knitting for today is going to be the gauge swatch for the Lady Sunshine Cardigan. 
• Peter made me breakfast in bed. He makes an awesome Dutch Pancake with warm cinnamon apple sauce. Oh yeah, I am in heaven. 
• In the wee hours of the morning I figured out how to better mix my dyes. However, it requires more and larger storage containers. That issue has been fixed. Ace Hardware carries Ball 1/2 gallon Wide Mouthed canning jars. I now have 12 of these puppies. 

Another give-away

This give away will be more geared towards knitters. I have a sampling of some of my singles. It's a bit of superwash bfl. Second is a set of 5 stitch markers made by my fiance, Peter. They feature a dragon in the center. They are made to fit up to a size US 10 1/2 needle. Last, but not least a pen in the shape of a sheep's head. It lights up and bahs when it is pressed into the pen. Isn't it just cute. :)

To enter simply post a reply and wait until August 1st. On August 2nd I will pull a name from a hat and give you guys a hollar. Please, let me know what you think of Peter's stitch markers. Soon he'll be debuting his own shop called Dragon 'n Ewe.

As an added point of interest I will be having another shop update next week. It'll be a roving update. When the next shipment of ecru wool is received there will be another big update with more colorways.

Hope you enjoy and happy crafting!
