It's HIS Loss....My Unfortunate Dealings With Thomas Kvist

As some of you may know over the last several months I have been creating some new designs for yarn retailer Thomas Kvist Yarns, aka TK Yarns. I put production of my own designs on hold to create some wonderful new pieces especially for him. Shortly after completing the work I had to have major surgery to which I am happy to say that I have fully recovered. Thomas Kvist was very pleased with my work but for some strange reason would not come up with the funds that we had agreed upon as compenstion for the designs. I sent him several emails but received vague responses from him. Mr. Kvist has posted pictures of the designs on his website and refuses to respond to my emails as to why he has not paid me. Some people have said to me that it's a learning experience...and that I should be careful next time. Personally I think that this whole knit designing thing is a huge labyrinth of ups and downs with scheisty individuals to block your heading. As I told Mr. Kvist in one email "I aim to be taken very seriously as a knit designer"...my color, race or religion should NOT have anything to do with the pieces that I produce/create/design.
Here are a couple of the designs that I made for Thomas Kvist that I am PROUD to say, are available for sale in my store :) The Granny Square Knit Poncho The Southern Belle The Ascot Capelet For Mr. Thomas Kvist...it's your loss...if handled appropriately our relationship could have been very advantageous for the both of us. Defrauding individuals is something that is not a part of my character...and I pray to God that it never will be. For all those out there who have been cheated by those who think they are "getting over" on you..I say STAND UP for yourselves! As long as they think that they have the upper hand then these types of things will continue to happen. I'm still walking through this amazing labyrinth hopefully a lot smarter and aware of the obstacles that can somewhat leave me running around in circles.

Till next time,
Yarnie

My BIG Surprise! :-D Thomas Kvist Yarns!!

BEFORE YOU READ THIS ARTICLE PLEASE READ THE UNFORTUNATE UPDATE TO THIS EVENT and PLEASE TAKE NOTE...and be AWARE of people like this!!! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLE FIRST! UPDATE TO THE THOMAS KVIST FIASCO I've been keeping a secret...and I'm about to BURST!! A few months ago I received an email from a very nice man named Thomas Kvist. He explained that he saw my designs on my Facebook Fan Page , was very impressed with my designs and wanted me to make something with his yarns. He went on to say that he wanted to send me some samples of his yarns to "play around with" and come up with something unique. All I would have to do was make something from each of the samples and photograph the results. OK LET'S STOP HERE Now, if you're a knitter...a yarn oogler/lover like me, that's like saying to a person, "hey, I've got these fabulous diamond earrings, rings and necklaces for you to try out and I would like for you to wear them and come up with some great outfits with them and tell me what you think!" OF COURSE I WOULD!!! I tell you, when I received this email from Thomas my heart was beating so wildly...that a yarn manufacturer/broker thought my designs were beautiful and worthy enough to say that they were made with his yarns...truly a blessing. SO for weeks I waited with anticipation as the yarns were coming from Sweden. When the mailman was standing at the door holding a large box, I knew that Thomas didn't just send me a few skeins...20 total...enough of each color to do something really nice! I thought to myself...hmmm...this is my chance to really make some couture pieces! Each yarn has different fiber contents such such as cashmere, cotton, alpaca, and silk...truly a scrumptious assortment! They also have different textures..rustic, silky, soft, and a couple have a sort of urban 'feel'. It was really difficult to decide which one to start with, as they all are so yummy! I have decided to start with the Delicious Tweed yarn, which is the blue yarn in the bunch.
Fiber content includes lambswool, angora, cashmere, and a small amount of poliamide. I will be keeping you all abreast as to how my projects are coming along with lots of pictures. I am just thrilled about all this and would like to thank Mr. Thomas Kvist from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and giving me this wonderful opportunity! Be sure to check out Thomas Kvist Yarns to view his complete collection and information on where you can purchase his wonderful yarns.

Until next time..
