Gobble, Gobble! Welcome to the Black Friday edition of Fiber Arts Friday. Are you planning on spending the day knitting, spinning, weaving, crocheting or felting? Are you spending the day shopping for the latest and greatest bargains? Me? Well...pajamas are a number one requirement for my day of fiber arts. If I do go to the store it will be to visit my favorite yarn shop who is having amazing deals.
My goal this year is to Buy Handmade and Buy Local or better yet...make all of my gifts. I can't always do it but I will try my best. In the spirit of Black Friday, I am offering FREE SHIPPING on all domestic orders in my Etsy Shop of Wonder. Just use the coupon code GOBBLEGOBBLE2011 to save on shipping. This offer is good through 9pm on Sunday.
One of the best deals in my shop is if you purchase some of my Alpaca the Way it Should Be yarn, you will receive a crochet pattern written by Denise at Voie de Vie for her Le Chaud French Press Cozy. It's a gorgeous pattern and once the new year begins you will have to purchase it so here is your opportunity to get some great yarn and a beautiful pattern.Now...I intend to spend the rest of my weekend knitting, spinning, weaving and felting while avoiding housework at all cost. Enjoy your family and fiber arts this Thanksgiving holiday. Share your adventures in Fiber Arts.

Ooooh that is a pretty pattern, and the wool too!! We are celebrating Thanksgiving a day late, I've got a pumpkin pie in the oven just now and it smells good! If we didn't have a Christmas Fair at the school today I would still be in my PJ's. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi-glad to hear you got your new loom. Watch out-its very addictive-but so much fun.
ReplyDeleteLove that gorgeous tea cozy!
ReplyDeleteThe tea cozy is gorgeous!!! Have a lovely weekend.

Oh, I'm envious for a day of knitting, spinning and pj's. I have client work today, but I think I will spend "only" a few hours... then pull out the fiber.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your long weekend!
Yay for PJs! Hope you have a lovely time of it today.
ReplyDeleteHey, I think I know that French Press cozy. :)
ReplyDeleteThe cranberry hand-dyed also looks fabulous. The scarf should be done by the end of next week!
I'm with you, I will also focus my energies on having a quiet, creative weekend. I can hardly wait to see you latest weaving with your coil art yarn! Have a wonderful weekend, best wishes!
ReplyDeleteYour yarn is absolutely gorgeous. Hope you have a lovely holiday weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great deal for a lovely pattern. Hope you had a relaxing and productive day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pattern. I have my favorite picked out in your shop already! I just finished a cowl for my DD using the last fiber I bought...it was such a nice spin!
ReplyDeleteI stayed in my nightgown and knit all day. It's not worth it to risk life and limb out there.
ReplyDeleteI'm giving gift cards and homemade candy this year. I just don't have time for much else with my job this year.
I love your handspun yarn.
I spent the day knitting little flower washcloths and talking with family :)
ReplyDeleteI shared a link to a handmade gift post, not all fiber related (the horse is) but all handmade!
Off to check out your yarn:)
I went to work on Friday. It was very peaceful and quiet, hardly anyone there, and I got a great parking place ;-).
ReplyDeleteThat cranberry yarn is wonderful. I absolutely love the shade!
