What could be better?

Posted on Posted in Bare Naked Wools, designing, projects

It’s not so secret that I really like the yarnz.  And I’ve been really lucky to work with some fantastic blends.  Yarn snob?  Yes.  And proud one at that.

 

Better Breakfast is very special to me.  I really don’t need to wax poetically about it to you guys; if you’re visiting the blog regularly, you see that all of Anne’s designs really do this yarn justice.  It caters to her aesthetic so beautifully, time and time again.  The alpaca gives your garment drape while the merino gives you added warmth.

 

We’ve recently added three new colors to the collection.  And like I said, why should I sit here and gush on and on when YOU can gush on and on at all the pretty YaRn PrOn photos!!

And you know, because sometimes I scout The Ravelry, just to see what all of you guys are making.  (Because it not only helps to feed my own yarn cravings daily and dare I say, it curbs the addiction when I can’t get needles in my hand.) I found this gorgeous gem and had to share it.  The photography is beautiful!  It literally makes me want to stop blogging (Sorry, Anne… just being honest) and cast on a Love Me Two Times!!  (Shiny things, damn them.)  🙂

*Note* – Did you know that the Love Me Two Times KAL is going on RIGHT NOW?  If not – well, now you do!  The folks over there are having so much fun and you’re more than welcome to join us!  The KAL will run through the end of June and if you finish in time, you’ll be entered for a chance to win prizes!

Speaking of KALs, The Mister’s is another KAL that Anne recently created.  This one doesn’t have any deadlines. It’s a laid-back, knit-at-your-own-pace KAL.  The pullover version would be wonderful for someone’s first attempt at knitting a sweater, and I definitely recommend for you to join the KAL if you’ve had a sweater in mind for quite some time.  The knitters in our forums are SO helpful and they are absolutely full of suggestions.  We’re so lucky to have all of your support!  Thanks to all of the Knitspot and BNW fans out there!  You truly are the best.

  1. Love the Better Breakfast color names (and the colors). However I am waiting for the berry colors lol!

  2. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate BBF. I am using it to knit Triticum. I absolutely love the subtle shifts in tone and color value of the yarn. It adds so much dimension and depth (while not having to worry about pooling). And the look of the sweater as I am knitting it does not reflect in any way something that could be purchased. The look is elegant and has so much character. Knitting has become an elevated experience and I know that I am going to adore wearing this sweater. Trying to choose between Sugarfrost in BBF and Chebris lace for my next Triticum.

  3. hooray forictures! I bought some BBB fingering Hot Cholcolate sight unseen over the weekend and it’s already on the way to me…I can’t wait!
