I have been so behind. Both in my knitting and in my blogging and for that I apologize. So many things have happened and been going on in my life. Anyway I wanted to take a moment and draw your attention to the widget on my Sidebar for Donors Choose. This is a great charity that allows teachers to make requests and the public the opportunity to fund them. For the month of October they are hosting a Blogger’s Challenge. I am trying to help raise money for teachers that want to teach their students to knit. Being a Waldorf parent, I think every child should be taught to knit but I digress. Knitting can be a relaxing hobby, real life skill, and a chance for a student to make themself a much needed hat, pair of mittens, or scarf for the winter. So consider donating to a great cause and helping that little thermometer go up. Thanks!

I am so happy to report that Angelina of Zenstring stocked today, after a very long hiatus. She has been pretty busy dying yarn and came up with some new colorways too. Check it out, as it looks like things are selling pretty fast. There is some really gorgeous fiber too.

Morwenna of Mosiac Moon has some beautiful colorways. She hand dyes a wide range of yarns, including Gaia organic merino and Blue Faced Leicester. Tonight she is stocking on Necessitae, one of my favorite Congos on Hyena Cart. Here is one of my favs tonight:
Even if you don’t like yarn, check this stocking out. I am sure one of the vendors there will have something for you. They are stocking everything from cloth diapers to fresh roasted coffee beans. Very cool blend of items.

Just wanted to send a heads up that Western Sky Knits is stocking today on their Hyena Cart. They have some lovely handpainted BFL, organic Merino, Targhee, Cestari Merino, and Purewool today. Posy on Gaia Organic Merino is my personal favorite in this stocking. Beautiful job Leidy!
The stocking is at 6 p.m. EST today. If you don’t have an account to buy things on Hyena Cart yet, I did an register tutorial that should help you out.

I’m so excited to be a part of the Zenstring Benefit stocking. I would like to share the item that I knit. I’m so tempted to bid on it myself
Using Lotus Toes Sportweight in Angelina’s ‘Secret Garden’ colorway I am contributing a pair of socks:
I still need to finish the second sock, but rest assured it will be finished by the auction’s end. Please check out the other beautiful items up for bid too. There is handspun, hats, longies, soakers, retired colorway yarns, and more. All proceeds will go directly to Angelina to help her get her yarn business up and running again. Thank you!

In anticipation of the Tiny Lady Cooperative Zen String benefit stocking that begins tomorrow, I decided to do a little tutorial on how to register an account with Hyena Cart. It isn’t that difficult and only takes a few minutes to do.
