My Zenstring Contribution

Published by thiselfknits under Yarn

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:

secret garden blocked

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!

Help Bring Zensting Back!

Published by thiselfknits under Yarn

I just wanted to give a heads up that there will be a stocking on Hyenacart next week to help bring Zenstring back. Angelina has had a rough go of things in the last 4 months (has it been that long?) and some crafty people have banded together to make things a bit easier for her.

Tiny Lady Cooperative is hosting an auction of Zenstring yarn, handspun, and finished items, with all proceeds going directly to Angelina. I am happy to report that I am busy knitting something for this and can’t wait to get it listed.

Angelina’s yarns and colorways have given me such joy. I love to knit with her creations. I just want to give back in a tiny way by sending some joy her way. I hope that you will join me by bidding high and often :)

Wrath or perhaps something nicer?

Published by thiselfknits under Yarn

seven deadly spins spoilerGood thing I just turned the heel on my second Gluttony sock, as the second shipment in the Seven Deadly S(p)ins Club arrived today. I had no idea what the sin might be or what the kit would contain, as I have stayed away from spoilers. Click the link if you want to be spoiled.

Custom Zenstring

Published by thiselfknits under Yarn

Angelina, the hard working mom behind Zenstring, has recently moved across several states. They are still searching for a home for their family and to help make that happen, she has opened up custom slots. This is very rare for her to do so. My advice is to run and grab some up! I know Angelina and her family will appreciate it.
