Hello everyone. There is an update of Stories Of The Traveling Stitch Markers at the bottom of this blog.
Mystery Knit Along
We will be starting a mystery knit along on July 6 2009. Every Monday starting the 6th, I will be giving instructions for the following week. The will be no more than 1 hour worth of work a week. The group http://www.ravelry.com/groups/cliodhna on Ravelry will have a thread called Mystery Knit Along. There we can show our progress. Feel free to join in. The first materials you will need is 100% wool (must be able to felt) "Natwolle" from muench is good, "Fishermans wool" from Lion brand is also good. You will need 200 yards. Make sure not to use wool that is bleached white. You will need a size 11 U.S. circular needle.. not longer than 24", and 2 stitch markers.

Getting Excited
I am getting very excited about the contest!!! I will share a little now about how it will work exactly. On July 16, I will post 5 movie questions. Each question will have a corresponding prize. The first answer to each question will get that prize, but you may only win one prize. To answer the questions, click on comment.. below the blog, and leave your answer there. This way you can see what questions have already been answered, and choose a different question to answer. The names of the movies are hidden in my Etsy store if you want to 
prepare. :)
I did decide to start a group on Ravelry called Cliodhna. http://www.ravelry.com/groups/cliodhna I thought that we can all share photos, ideas, and do KALs
Speaking of knit alongs, I started a thread in the cliodhna ravelry group for the entrelac, if you would like to join in. If you don't have the pattern already, please email me your personal email address.
The photo to the right is the group thumbnail image. OOPS The photo traveled up
I do want to start a mystery KAL . The knitting time of this project is about four hours, so it isn't a huge time commitment. I wan't to break it up over 4-5 weeks. I you have bits ands pieces of novelty yarns, it will be very inexpensive. It is a great gift too if you are trying to start on those Christmas gifts early. I would like to start The first week of July. I just thought it would be fun to do a knit along, where you have no clue what you are making ; ). All I can say is trust me it is a cute project!!! I will start a thread called Mystery knit along.. check in there if you want to join.
In the next day or so I will edit this blog to include any updates to Stories of the traveling stitch markers... Baby boy is upset... Take care

A new blog
To start this new series of blog I am having a contest :)
On July 16, I will ask 5 trivia questions. The first people to answer correctly will get prizes. More information comming soon. Each person can only win one prize. So five of you will be receiving prizes. The prizes are from my etsy store. First Prize is a surprise, but sets of stitch markers, and hand spun yarn are among the prizes. Feel free to take a look.
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5638084
I would like to focus on a project in each blog. Our first project is the not so scrappy entrelac blanket. This has been an ongoing project. It is worked on a size U.S. 11 needle. 1/2 the yarn is
a solid colored yarn I used Karabella Super Yak. The other half is Saisons a L'Atelier yarn. The second yarn is a hand tied yarn. You can get the effect by hand knotting your stash yarns at 1 yard intervals.
This pattern will be available anytime after June 12. If you are familiar with entrelac, your base triangles are 90 stitches. I would love to see and share photos of your not so scrappy entrelacs. Or your variations of any entrelac. Feel free to post photos in the comments. :) If you follow my blog I will email you the pattern free.
Shop Talk
Not much going on this week. Any orders of three items or more will receive 25% off your entire purchase, or free shipping, (which ever is more) through June 15th. I will refund the difference back to you through pay pal within 24 hours.
I am updating color availability on my handspun....as fast as my fingers can spin it.
