Yarn because that's what it's all about, books because I can't hlep it.
Just now found via Ravelry, Tangled makes its debut this month. The front page features a skirt in a knit version and a crochet version. I’m still looking at all the great photos, but thought I’d share the location asap. The patterns I’ve seen so far are free downloads.
I’m having a little trouble getting from one page to another, don’t know why. I’ll go and study some more!
The August 2010 issue of Yarn Market News has an ad from the newly established distributor for Kauni yarns in the United States, RYN Yarns. If you want Kauni in your local yarn store, pass along this information. Ryn offers everything Kauni makes in wool and wool blends, but wholesale only. See their catalog at www.rynyarn.com and also enjoy the patterns worked in Kauni yarns.
Not that there are so many people commenting, but the spam bots sure are.
The website is Aha! Moment Knits. The designers are awesome people you have probably heard of before. The designs are unique.
Fabulous designers Lisa Kartus, Maureen Mueller, Karen Joan Raz, and Carol Scott have some new patterns out for sale at a new website called Aha! Moment Knits. (This refers to that moment when you ‘get it.’ “Aha!” you smile.)
Besides the page of new patterns for sale, there is a page of knitting instructions called the Visual Glossary. If there’s a stitch or technique giving you problems, this glossary can help with a step by step explanation with photographs and/or video. This was a huge investment of time, and I’m impressed.
The patterns are in a variety of styles and call for several levels of experience. Two baby sweaters, two shawls, two scarves, three sweaters for women. Pretty pictures. Reasonable prices. Oh! and a toy to find patterns for your desired experience level – a sliding scale!
And of course, I’m pleased that several of the designs use Kauni yarns, which I will be happy to supply you with, should you desire to use them with your pattern. (Fortunately I just got in a few more hanks of Rainbow Lace.)

Kauni yarns were used to make some of these designs. I think they all are really cool. Go see!
