older posts the pony is busy with eyf 2017 posted on june 8 2016 by yarn pony oh dear this blog has been neglected the yarn pony s been busy organising the edinburgh yarn festival in the past couple of years but watch out for selected limited edition yarns and kits in collaboration with eyf in the next few months mica x posted in uncategorized leave a comment back on the blog wagon posted on march 3 2014 by yarn pony it s been a while and i thank you all for hanging in there what have you been up to i ve been knitting a lot amongst other things but i m really bad at updating my ravelry projects so here a little summary of my fos kathleen by jane richmond was 2013 s favourite hat pattern for me and i made 5 of them in different colours this green one is made with cascade 220 my desert island yarn it s slightly too short for me i was running out so i donated it to be inspired fibres in marchmont as a sample since mei stocks the yarn my sweater projects included antler a 4 ply sweater by ankestrick the construction method really intrigued me as most raglan sweaters simple don t fit me very well this pattern uses saddle shoulders and contiguous sleeves and makes for a much better fit and interesting knit i will be back for more of her patterns my favourite 2013 project would have to be ysolda s strokkur about which you can find an older blog post here other rec ent fos include a hitchhiker red blue zauberball a simmerdim and his n her hats very cheesy i know there were also a couple of other hats along the way follow your arrow many of you have participated in ysolda s fabulous follow your arrow kal and i have received lots of messages requesting info about where to buy yarn pony yarns unfortunately i don t have the time to run and service an online shop and 2014 will see me committing most of my time to other yarn related projects so there will be very little yarn dyeing but there might just be the occasional delivery to the woolly brew or kathy s knits i ll keep you posted i ve started the kal too but then got distracted by other things so i don t have an fo to show only my colour choices and the wip the colours are silberling and roman coin right off to find that project and put a few more rows in dyeing workshops to keep my studio going i will offer some weekend dyeing workshops again apologies if you ve put your name down but haven t heard anything for a while i ll be in touch in the next week or so there will also be a separate blog post about this edinburgh yarn festival 2015 you might or might not know that jo and i are the

sweden say hello to her on ravelry or check out her blog from left to right a knackered post eyf me linda jo keeping it in the family in january one of my sisters visited and i m extremely please that i managed to infect her with the yarn bug she is now obsessed with knitting and regularly tries to raid my stash it seems that i have created a monster both of my sisters are extremely creative one being a goldsmith the other a tailor and it takes something really interesting to take them away from their other pursuits sonja takes like a fish to water when it comes to learning things she enjoys

are you waiting for blocking strokkur it took 5 days for mine to dry thoroughly posing at st abbs head lighthouse the original even though the colours i used are very similar only the yellow is an exact match in comparison to ysolda s choice great way to use up your left overs lopi mittens by marcia lewandowski from her book folk mittens i gifted the mittens to my friend nicola as they came out

handmade in the uk posted on july 19 2013 by yarn pony yesterday was one of the hottest days of the year in edinburgh and what does a girl do on an evening of a day like this go to yarn store for a book launch of course you know you are an obsessed with yarn if even our current heatwave will not prevent you from fondling wool for the benefit of my north american friends we don t do air cons here hot means hot everywhere emily wessel launched the release of the print version of handmade in the uk yesterday at kathy s knits in edinburgh and it was a great turn out even though it was so hot i got myself a signed copy of pacific knits by tin can knits a transatlantic design partnership of which emily is one half which was also on offer that antler cardigan is calling to me already off to buy ice cream now emily ready for some book signing hanging with the cool kids the book launch coincided with the 1st anniversary of kathy s knits opening doors and this was the celebatory cake what more could a girl ask for posted in events local knitting news news tagged edinburgh knitwear designer emily wessel handmade in the uk 2 comments lucky edinburgh knitters 2 new lys in one week posted on june 21 2013 by yarn pony this week two new yarn stores opened in edinburgh can you believe it well this might not make the headlines on the bbc website but for us local knitters its certainly big news watch out for a little series of blog posts on the eyf site about yarny news from scotland in the aftermath of the yarn festival kind of a what xxxxx did next sort of theme for now just a few impressions of the two shops let me start by saying that both shops have a lot going for them and it s great that they don t follow the concepts of existing yarn stores both have a unique angle on the market and compliment beautifully what s on offer in the city already ginger twist studio opened on thursday in the east end of the city 11 london road jessica who runs the shop loves all things vintage so it s a really cute and quirky place full of enthusiasm she s guaranteed to get you knitting jessica stocks amongst other things new lanark cascade king cole and some hand dyed hand spun

wondered after the edinburgh yarn festival i ve been very busy with a big project at work and then we went on holiday thanks for hanging in there loads of exciting things are happening here in edinburgh with regards to new yarn shops and a couple of cheeky wee projects jo and i are planning more on that in the next posts i ve been been in the netherlands for the past couple of weeks and had a great time exploring holland on the bicycle we had some glorious weather but boy was it it windy at times i even found some yarn stores surprise we stayed 20 miles north of amsterdam on the outskirts of a small charming town called edam we used this as a base from where to plan our various day trips in the region we visited amsterdam a couple of times and of course one of the first stops was the lys after much research i found that ther e are surprisingly very few yarnstores in fact the only true contender is the wonderful penelope craft boutique in kerk straat malia who owns the shop stocks malabrigo madelinetosh lopi cascade ggh and much more if you are following me on twitter you might have seen some of these images already the best souvenir ever my new bike herengracht a basket full of puppies seen in amsterdam on the beach on texel in bergen aan zee knitting in the garden of our holiday cottage beautiful edam hoorn harbour posted in odds and ends tagged amsterdam canals of

a few days to the highlands but i m back now re united with the knitting machine more on the knitting machine in the next post for now just a few holiday snaps we were really lucky with the weather this holiday had kind of a bridge theme it all started with crossing this one from which we could see this one we stopped in perth and walked across this one smeaton s bridge opened in 1771 after checking into our accommodation in grantown we took a drive to carrbridge which has this old pack horse bridge not sure how they convinced any man let alone horse to cross over this since we stayed in grantown on spey we explored the area around it with a little walk and found another rather old bridge in the aptly named speybridge close by it s closed for traffic but open for walkers and the views are lovely after a walk around loch an eilein we also found a fantastic tea room the cakes were to die for but the best thing was their bird watching window overlooking the vast wild glen and the bird feeders right in front of it it s not the sort of place you get to by public transport but if you are walking in that area or have a car don t miss it apart from a flying visit to elena costella s yarn and fibre studio in perth not much yarny action has been had on this holiday apart from nearly finishing my agnes sweater this yarn will be turned into something on the knitting machine my latest obession you ll hear all about it posted in news odds and ends tagged carrbridge grantown knitting machine loch an eilein scottish highlands 1 comment older posts instagram fun no instagram images
