I'm So Happy!!

Wow, another front page appearance on Etsy!! I am so happy and grateful!
The only thing is..I always miss it...I never get to see it while it's there, lol!

My Spotlight!!

Check it OOOOOOUUUUT!!! Yarncoture was recently featured in and Etsy Treasury!! My Hot Pink Anemone Scarf was featured in an Etsy Twitter Team Treasury created by I'm With Sully!(who has beautiful jewelry,btw!) It's always a thrill for me to be featured in an Etsy Treasury because it's a great opportunity to bring more viewers into your shop. Treasuries are basically favorite items that can be arranged by color theme or subject matter. Etsy members create these treasuries to show off their teams, their favorites or popular holiday items for example. Treasuries are very hard to get because when the number of treasuries drops below 333, the treasury spots open up and are snatched up in the blinking of an eye, so if you want one you have to be quick. I KNOW THE SECRET to snatching up a treasury.....and I'm NOT TELLING!! Well....I might...

Treasury Time AGAIN!!

Wow, what a way to greet the morning! I got an email informing me that one of my Vintage Inspired Ascot Neckties have made it to This Etsy Treasury!! This is so amazing to me that one of my items would be included in this awesome treasury! Woo Hoo!!

A Bit :E:D:G:Y:

Ok, here is my latest design.."The Jester"!! It's a bit edgier than my other designs which allows me to transition to the "couture" part of Yarncoture. It was handknitted in an alternating seed stitch design, and then finished off with crocheted jester-like curls on the border. It's very versatile...can be worn with the curls facing up or down and depending on how it's worn, it can definitely be a showstopper accessory. It's finished off with some very nice tangerine red vintage buttons that I bought off Ebay. Depending on the feedback that I get from this piece, I will hopefully introduce an entire line of "The Jester" in the future!

Beautiful Additions For Spring!

I had such a blast this weekend! This past Friday and Saturday, I made four new additions for my shop! My most favorite is the Burst Of Sunshine Scarf which was made by me hand braiding several strands of yarn and then weaving them together into this scarf! Then I made The Fabulous Scarf which has a hand knitted cuff that's decorated with a vintage button. Using the continental knitting method has enabled me to knit much faster and has taken the blahs out of my knitting!
