This year marks the 10th year they have been blessing us with this fabulous yarn. On the website is says they have 38 different bases, that range from $19 to $74 bucks. The majority of their bases have cashmere blend (20 out of 38) and all the bases are hand dyed. They are a classic case of getting your money’s worth. The thing that is different with Plucky is they are not readily available, you have to wait for an update and you have to be quick on that buy button. This yarn sells out quickly and then you wait for it to be dyed and sent to you. I had to wait a few weeks to get mine the first time.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px;">Fast forward to the here and now and the trunk show at <a style="font-size: 16px;" href="https://www.annieandco.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span id="inserted8295" style="color: #e96f29;">Annie & CO</span>. </a>You still needed to be fast because those folks were serious about their yarn. The best part is you walk out with yarn in hand, no waiting.

We all know the best light is natural light, right? Well since I don’t have a set up where I can easily take advantage of the sunlight; operation get lights was born.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px;">Initially the price made me simply add it to my wish list on Amazon, because who is broke as a joke? That would be me! LOL unemployment sucks and has it’s benefits. Since I am always online searching I stumbled across a sale at Joann’s. The dual sided Ottlite was 60% off if you ordered online AND they gave a pick up in store option. They only had 3 in the store near me so I ran! <b style="font-size: 16px;">If you are interested I found it on Amazon for $49.99, which is half off..so click the pic below</b></p> <p><b></b><br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/OttLite-D26008-Dual-Sided-Task-Lamp/dp/B00WRWH57K/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1490360109&sr=8-1&keywords=dual+sided+task+lamp&linkCode=li3&tag=ggma-20&linkId=1454aef30c5d138a90e4bf9410996a38" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B00WRWH57K&Format=_SL250_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=ggma-20" border="0" /></a></p> <h3><span id="inserted2607" style="color: #e96f29;">My Review<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; color: #e96f29;" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=ggma-20&l=li3&o=1&a=B00WRWH57K" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /></span></h3> <p> </p> <p style="font-size: 16px;">Can I say love at first light? Listen I plugged this baby in as soon as I got back in the house. One side is so bright that I may get another one, I just need a sponsor! hahahahahaha but seriously let’s talk about my latest favorite thing.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px;">The light is portable and lightweight, so moving it around is very easy. The natural daylight that it promotes is mind boggling. I never noticed the yellow hue in my pictures until I did a comparison.

When I tell you this was good money spent. Let the filming and live streaming begin. I was considering getting a ring light (fancy stuff) but now that I have this light source I don’t need it. I am super pleased and this light is GG approved! hahahahahahaaa.

I quit Thanksgiving and Christmas and I am the Christmas queen normally…so no more dwelling for me, let’s get it on!</p> <p class="fontplugin_fontid_494_PRINC" style="font-size: 23px;">I often hear this in relations to gifts for me “I don’t know nothing about no yarn gifts” hahahahahaha the fact that they care enough to want to get me something yarn related always warms my soul. I am quite sure other knitters have the same issue, so I gave birth to GGmadeit’s Favorite Things: A Gift Guide for the knitter in your life. You ready to see what is on my list? I will include links, if you click the picture it will take you a link to grab the gift right while you are reading this. You are welcome!

LOL Today I want to share one of those said things, that being the screw-in leather closures from <a href="http://juldesigns.com/attach/">Jul Designs. </a></p> <p>I finished my Touring Cape, woot woot!! A blog post coming as soon as it dries and I can take good pics, but the kit for this cape came with Jul closures. The mod loop leather closure and 2 pedestal buttons are included with the yarn to make the cape. This made me remember that I had some of these lovely closures in my stash. A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go hi ho the…wait I forgot the rest..but you know that song Bugs Bunny use to sing right? That! LOL I found them.</p> <p>When I posted this pic last night, a few folks asked about the closure. I didn’t even think it was that visible, but wanted to blog about it so folks could see what the options were and get some because they are pretty awesome! <a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/photo-on-2-20-15-at-12-16-am.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1934" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/photo-on-2-20-15-at-12-16-am.jpg?w=625&resize=625%2C417" alt="Photo on 2-20-15 at 12.16 AM" width="625" height="417" /></a>The Mod loop leather closure is pictured below. What I love about these closures is you can easily change the positioning on your garment because they simple screw on..no sewing baby!!! So you know I love them because, LAZY. As you can see they are very simple to attach, you simply remove the screws and the leather backs..position them onto the garment and replace the screw and POW! You just changed your handmade item from “oh that’s nice.” to “DAYUM you made that?!” and you can shake your head and say “yup, I sure did!” Hahahahahahahahahahaa</p> <p><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3967.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1931" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3967.jpg?w=625&resize=625%2C469" alt="IMG_3967" width="625" height="469" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3968.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1932" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3968.jpg?w=625&resize=625%2C469" alt="IMG_3968" width="625" height="469" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3972.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1935" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3972.jpg?w=625&resize=625%2C833" alt="IMG_3972" width="625" height="833" /></a> <a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3973.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1936" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3973.jpg?w=625&resize=625%2C469" alt="IMG_3973" width="625" height="469" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>The supple leather and rich colors will be the star of your latest handmade accessory. I promise, you see how it was hardly visible in the picture but folks noticed it? Oh yea, eye catching for sure. When I went on my seek and destroy mission I was pleased to find that I had quite a few in my button bag. I have 2 of the Venetian Hinge Closure (pictured below) I have one in each color, chocolate brown and aubergine.</p> <p><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3964.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1929" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3964.jpg?w=625&resize=625%2C469" alt="IMG_3964" width="625" height="469" /></a>I also have the Florentine Hinge Leather closure, which was a part of a kit that I purchased at Rhinebeck last year. So yea, I truly love these things they are so versatile and down right stylish AND they have a few options to choose from, BONUS!</p> <p><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3971.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1937" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_3971.jpg?w=625&resize=625%2C833" alt="IMG_3971" width="625" height="833" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Where can you get them? Well online naturally, but I have seen them in quite a few local yarn stores as well as at Vogue knitting Live and Stitches events. So keep and eye out, I am sure you find them on the ground. The price ranges from $6.50 to $31.00.</p> <p> </p> <p>Knit on my fiber friends…knit on</p> <p>~GG</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>The post <a href="https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites-jul-designs/">Friday Favorites: Jul Designs</a> appeared first on <a href="https://ggmadeit.com">G G M A D E I T</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites-jul-designs/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">1927</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Friday Favorites: the color Orange</title> <link>https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites-the-color-orange/</link> <comments>https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites-the-color-orange/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Gaye Glasspie]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Jan 2015 22:35:48 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Friday Favorites]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Anzula Yarns]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Blue Sly Alpaca]]></category> <category><![CDATA[burly spun]]></category> <category><![CDATA[favorites]]></category> <category><![CDATA[madelinetosh]]></category> <category><![CDATA[orange]]></category> <category><![CDATA[yarn]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://ggmadeit.wordpress.com/?p=1690</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>    the other day I posted a picture of yarn in all different colors and asked what color will I have trouble finding in your stash.

I absolutely love orange, the color, the scent and the fruit. It’s warm, bright and represents one of my favorite times of the year; Autumn.

The Thick n Quick was on a 2fer sale, so yea I know I said I wasn’t buy anymore yarn…could you guys focus please? Thank you! OK, ok back to this chunky yumminess, it comes in 7 colors and I got 6. What? I know one of these post I said this was a judge free zone, so don’t be looking at me like that. Well is this better? Look at it!</p> <p><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2046.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1336 size-thumbnail" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2046.jpg?w=113&resize=113%2C150" alt="IMG_2046" width="113" height="150" /></a><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2044.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1335 size-thumbnail" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2044.jpg?w=113&resize=113%2C150" alt="IMG_2044" width="113" height="150" /></a><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2049.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1337 size-thumbnail" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2049.jpg?w=113&resize=113%2C150" alt="IMG_2049" width="113" height="150" /></a></p> <p>And now that you are no longer giving me that look, I will also share that I made 6 hats yesterday…get up, no fainting until you see them. LOL</p> <p><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2053.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1338 aligncenter" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2053.jpg?w=300&resize=300%2C225" alt="IMG_2053" width="300" height="225" /></a>Guys, you know I must go get more right? They retail for $9.99 normally but were on sale for $6.99, the color I didn’t get was cream or off white…but I plan to grab it. I did this hat on my Lantern Moon US17s and they were flying off the needle. They didn’t have much of it left, so now I have to hit the other Michaels in my area…I didn’t see them in ACmoore so I assume they don’t carry the line.</p> <p>Now back to the hats, I tried to make a pom pom and uh yea, NOPE..not so much. I need to practice, so because I used some of the yarn, the light grey hat came out a little short.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> <a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2083.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1340" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_2083.jpg?w=225&resize=225%2C300" alt="IMG_2083" width="225" height="300" /></a></p> <p style="text-align:left;">The beauty in the batched attempt at a hat is this….I can keep it and wear it on the back of my head. Am I cute? I think so :p The full hat is deeper and covers more head space. Six hats in a day, oh yeah this is definitely a favorite. Do you have any new found favorites?</p> <p style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_20591.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1342" src="https://ggmadeit.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/img_20591.jpg?w=225&resize=225%2C300" alt="IMG_2059" width="225" height="300" /></a></p> <p style="text-align:left;">Knit on my fiber friends….knit on</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> <p style="text-align:center;"> <p>The post <a href="https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites/">Friday Favorites</a> appeared first on <a href="https://ggmadeit.com">G G M A D E I T</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">1334</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Friday Favorites- Name your favorite yarn</title> <link>https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites-name-your-favorite-yarn/</link> <comments>https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites-name-your-favorite-yarn/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Gaye Glasspie]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2014 12:04:30 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Friday Favorites]]></category> <category><![CDATA[crafting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[crocheting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[favorites]]></category> <category><![CDATA[friends]]></category> <category><![CDATA[handmade]]></category> <category><![CDATA[instagram]]></category> <category><![CDATA[knitting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[questions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[yarn]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://ggmadeit.wordpress.com/?p=531</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello my fiber friends, it has been a week and I thought “GG, did you forget you have a blog?” I found a new toy last night, its called Canva.

Hahahahahahahaaa Let me first admit that I ask this question for purely selfish reasons; you see, I want to be sure I’m not missing out. What??? You read the title right? Yarnho that’s me and I’m proud of it! I mean there is just so many variables. Do you have a favorite brand, do you have a favorite weight, a favorite blend even? See what I mean? So when I go in my stash and molest, I mean caress my babies, much like a mother..I love them all equally. What about you? Do you Plead the 5th? Hilarious! I love my fiber friends.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites-name-your-favorite-yarn/">Friday Favorites- Name your favorite yarn</a> appeared first on <a href="https://ggmadeit.com">G G M A D E I T</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://ggmadeit.com/friday-favorites-name-your-favorite-yarn/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">531</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
