Sad News and Patterns

Posted on February 20, 2011 | 7 Comments

As many of you have probably heard, Pisgah Yarn and Dyeing Company is going out of business as of February 25, 2011.

If you want any of the free patterns on the site, you might consider getting them now. I have not heard what will happen to them after that date.

Also be advised that the purple cloth on the top of this page can be found on the Pisgah site at this location : Ballband Cloth . That  is where I got it.

It can also be found in a popular knitting book,: Mason Dixon Knitting by Kay Gardiner and Anne Shayne.

2011 Sticks, Hooks and Shuttles Calendar

Posted on November 1, 2010 | Leave a comment

2011 Sticks, Hooks and Shuttles is a new calendar available from the Pisgah Yarn and Dyeing Company. It’s sole purpose is to support two worthy charities.

25% will be donated to CarePartners in Asheville, NC . They are in need of a piece of equipment that will assist victims of spinal cord injury and stroke. 75% will go to Alexandra’s House in Kansas City MO. The house they are in has a leaky roof in need of repair.

This project has taken a year to complete and involves the effort of many people including designers, pattern testers, graphics artists and photographers. Each of these persons and others have given freely of their time, knowledge and skills to make this calendar a reality.

Supplies are limited.

It is rare that I support a project. This is one exception. I can promise you that the funds will all go to charity.  The calendar will not disappoint you.  It will be money well spent.

Design Change

Posted on October 31, 2010 | 2 Comments

I changed the Theme here today. One of the reasons was to make it easier to use. The other reason was simply that I was tired of the old way it looked.

I hope you like it!

There are several dead links on the site, particularly to patterns found on the  Pisgah Yarn and Dyeing Site . The company has a new website and has changed the location of its free patterns.  I will  be gradually updating these links in the next several days.  In the meantime here is a link that will help you find the Free Patterns: Free Patterns .

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused or is causing.

Recent Updates

Posted on May 8, 2010 | 5 Comments

I apologize for the lack of updates in the past few weeks. I have been knitting and crocheting a variety of projects which have taken my attention away from this site.

The Illusion  Knitting Cloths page has been updated this week. Each link there has been cross referenced on the Knit Cloths page. Please take special not to the recent creations by the author of Goodnight Gram.

To those of you who celebrate Mothers’ Day: Have a wonderful day.

To those of you don’t: May your day be peaceful.
