It's been a busy month of custom orders and shop orders, in case you have been wondering why the shop updates have been sparse.
Here are some pics of yarns from the past few days including the ATTACK of the Tree hat Kits! I swear I have been seeing green and hearing jingle bells in my sleep.
phew!
back to work
It's been a hectic few weeks here in Material Whirled!
Tree Hat kits are selling like hotcakes! I make a point to where mine when I spin them, keeps me in the spirit!
I plan to update the Yarn Shop today, sorry for those who were watching this weekend for the posted update. I seem to have gotten a nasty gremlin infection in my hard drive and had to install a brand spanking new one! Needless to say it took a hefty chunk of time out of my schedule. Now I am back up and running with triple the drive space I previously had AND a shiny, pretty new external BACKUP drive. snort. lesson learned.
I only lost a months worth of pictures, including the pics from our trip to the Pacific, and my bookmarks.
My mom was here for a 10 day visit and we had a great time. This is her first trip to our new home and she helped me prep tree skein ornaments and made curtains for the girls cottage/fort. I will post pics of them in my personal blog soon.
Well, back to the wheel!

Hello!
I am back home from our sad trip back east and getting back at the wheel~ I really missed it while I was in PA. Funny how much it relaxes me. As if I am ever really relaxed. haha
Wish there was a way to spin on an airplane, seems like such a waste of time, although its hard to do anything with two bored wiggly little girls.
So--- guess what??
THERE IS AN UPDATE COMING!
Planned for Sat. Sept. 29th ~
Want to join our update list? Send an email to sales@materialwhirled.com and I will add you.
Here are some pictures of some yarn and projects made with MW skeins.
"Caraway Golden Clone", a custom order for Rhonda, who makes the cutest collars for her whippets!
A scarf I made for a prototype, from Pomona Skein. Made with our Drop Stitch Scarf pattern that comes free with each yarn purchase!
Later!

A yarn update is planned for the end of next week. I need to fly home for my gram's funeral. :(
This pattern would work really well with our yarns. And it's free!
Bias Knit Scarf~
It's on Craftzine.com! Craftzine ROCKS!
If you knit one up send me pics for the Customer Gallery....

Hello,
We are adjusting to life in the pacific northwest. It's taking longer than I expected to get settled, but we are having a great time.
Here is a family shot of us at Multnomah Falls in OR.
Here is a shot of some custom ordered skeins.
Well,
Back to work!

BWA-hahaha......Cackle Cackle
So it seems I have this dark streak. I have always had an evil sense of humor and this streak is totally harmless but I suppose it has to come out SOME way. I 'see' all of these female witchy personalities. If I see a certain color scheme or a trinket or bauble or bead I immediately can see a feisty girl in it. Sundday the girls and I visited our first craft store in Vancouver, Craft Warehouse. They have an amazing bead section and they had these wooden skull bead s and the bad girls just started talking to me.
Once they reveal themselves to me they introduce their friends....and it goes on and on.
Now this does not suit my image. I am a blond, giggly, 'fluffy' mom from PA, not some goth queen. I am sure there is some sort of psychological theory behind this. Maybe it's best to not go there.
Here are some behind-the-scenes shots of the first 3 Dark Princesses of the season. They have yet to reveal their full names to me, but we have had our chats and I know them well.....
Stay tuned to the site for a yarn update in the next week..... when I will introduce them to you formally.
Reenie >:)
