Grace, Yarn by Louisa Harding

New year, new projects. On January 16th, my sister and I were thrilled to attend a reception and talk by Louisa Harding at one of our local yarn shops, The Grove. Louisa was in San Diego to participate in the TNNA (The National NeedleArts Association) show.

Louisa Harding is a stellar knitwear designer. She regaled us with tales of her entry into her career and brought along a trunk show of delicious fashions.

My sister and I each bought a pattern book (which she graciously signed) and some of her scrumptious yarns to launch us into the new year of knitting.

Beginning today (November 1st) and continuing through the 16th of November, Etsy fiber artists are featuring sales on fibery goodness. If you haven't checked out Etsy yet, now is the time.

Once you get over there, you can search using the tag "EtsyFAST" to find delightful items. Please see this very informative post by fellow fiber artist Fearless Fibers for tips on how to create your very own wish list on Etsy for yourself or loved ones.

Happy Stocking Stuffing!
