our donation to MSF

Published by lori under blog

Thanks to everyone for their condolences over the past several weeks. I am slowly working my way through things and getting back into a more normal work pattern.

Thanks to everyone for a little extra patience during this time, too.

I also want to share our total donation to MSF for Haiti:
$208.43, based on a percentage of Jan15-31 sales.

Thank you Oceanwind Knits customers!

family emergency…

Published by lori under blog

Unfortunately we are dealing with a death in our family.  Over the next several days it may take up to 48 hours to receive a response to emailed inquires.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.

new stuff!

Published by lori under blog

Hi, there - just wanted to let folks know there are some new items posted in the shop - Seabreez Lace, Merino Seacell Fingering, Shawl Pins and Merino Laceweights.

Also the Balsam Shawl pattern, knit in fingering weight merino, is now available.

Note - due to a family emergency, any yarn/fibre items currently on order and/or ordered as of today will be shipping (hopefully) next week, by the 14th.  My apologies for the delay.  Sometimes, things just cannot be avoided.

Thank you.

Happy knitting/spinning!

off to Woodstock this weekend…

Published by lori under blog

No, not that Woodstock.  But it’s sure to be a good time, regardless.  Woodstock, Ontario is hosting a Fleece Festival this weekend, the first.  I can’t imagine a Fleece Festival not being a good time.  Hope to see you there!

I’ll be bringing this with me:

Balsam Shawl

Balsam Shawl

Balsam Shawl

Balsam Shawl

… hot off the press, barely dry from blocking, along with as much yarn/fibre as will fit in my Toyota.

The pattern will be available on the website soon.

Have a great weekend!
