Join in for all or part of the Google Hangouts Meet, starting at 8:30pm EST. All crafts and all humans are welcome to join. A link will be distributed to those who RSVP. (RSVP in comments, DM or Via the FB event please ) ... Image Description: A ball of pale pink yarn sits inside a white knit-like textured basket. Two turned wooden needles, or are they crochet hooks, have been stuck into the yarn. The end of the wooden shaft is adorned with a sphere of stone, one purple like amethyst, and one an opaque white, possibly ceramic. Behind the pink yarn is a glimpse of a white yarn in the same basket. The background is a nondescript shadowed greige. In the foreground is text in varied decorative fonts which reads Virtual Craft Circle Wednesday 8:30pm EST. #craftcircle #knitnight #virtualhang #distancehangs #crochetcircle #prettylittleyarnsltd

Anyone else out there starting to get into the holiday spirit? We have all our fall decor down and our Christmas stuff up outside. Holiday shows and movies have even begun in earnest and I’m trying to get into the spirit of the season. Now, I’m going to level with you, right now the holidays are equal parts what is keeping me going, and what is breaking me down. My (very large extended) family celebrates Christmas and I love that time and celebration so much but this year t...he very things I love about it are things that very likely will not be allowed, and rightfully so! We all need to sacrifice to flatten the curve again. But I’m feeling kind of despondent about it. Instead of dwelling on it though, I’m going throw my energy into the spirit of it all, starting with this picture, of @sinisteryarns #ArtSchoolDropOut against a bed of garland and vintage ornaments. Image description: A bright, primary-coloured, variegated skein of bulky yarn lays tightly twisted on a bed of green faux garland. Twinkling LED lights twist over and under the skein while vintage wooden toy soldier and angel ornaments stand propped against it. #Christmas #ItsBeginningToLookALotLikeChristmas #Angel #Soldier #Nutcracker #Garland #TwinkleLights #ChristmasSpirit #HolidaySeason #HolidaySpirit #UnusualTimes #ChristmasInTheTimeOfCovid #HangingOn #GettingThrough

It’s been a while since I’ve played with watercolours, but tonight I thought I would have a go at sketching some things for the #DecemberSurpriseSets. These don’t necessarily reflect what will be in the sets but more just something to get into the headspace to create the final items. Image Description: 1) Orange watercolour lobster on blue background. 2) rainbow colour swatch. 3) Sunrise colour swatch. #FirstLobster #Rainbow #WinterSunrise #LoveActually #TrollsHoliday #OrangeLobster #Sunrise #Watercolours #Sketching #FunFridayNight #WildNightIn #PrettyLittleYarnsLtd #DyePrettyYarnAndFibre

Your wish is my command! Earlier this week I was in my stories asking some questions about our December Surprise Sets and it came up that essential oils weren’t a great fit for everyone, so I updated our listing! You will now see that you can choose between the essential oil roller ball OR a chocolate/tea option. You can also choose between the standard base or an upgraded base. Someone also helpfully informed me that a couple of the sets didn’t launch properly so if there... was a theme you wanted but you didn’t find it, it’s there now! Happy shopping! #holidays #surpriseset #surprisesets #surprisesetsaturday #decemberbox #giftbox #excitingstuff #prettylittleyarnsltd

Today and every day we remember with gratitude those who sacrifice or have sacrificed for our safety and freedom. If you usually buy a poppy while out and about, this year you may prefer to get one online from mypoppy.ca where you can make a donation and get a digital poppy like this one. #lestweforget
