Banyan Tree Yarns Georganne is the only supplier to Europe of Lion Brand, my favorite yarn.

Countess Ablaze hand spins and paints her own yarns.

Tara the Blonde Chicken and the Starship Craftybiz Tara is awesome – spins and dyes her own eco-friendly yarn, which I’ve knitted with. You can read my blog post about being on board the Starship here.

HandKnitter.co.uk Shiela is teaching me how to knit with interchangeable needle tips on cables; she spins her own yarn. Visiting her site is my version of being in a candy store – very dangerous! I’m looking into spinning, for which she has many supplies.

UK Hand Knitting Association

 The Crochet Crowd – Holiday Crafting with Mikey. This was the guy who made the video of knitting with Pom Pom yarn, and the inspiration for my “Men who Knit” theme; might do an interview with him sometime on that theme cos he thinks it’s brilliant.

Don’t Lose Your Shit Kit by Fabeku Fatunmise. In his own words, Fabeku is a “business awesomizer, suck exorcist and sonic alchemist”. He can be reached through his website at http://www.fabeku.com

 

The Don’t Lose Your Shit kit is full of real life, right now stuff that you can use to keep yourself from losing your shit during the holidays. It won’t make it anymore awesome to get that cable knit sweater with that 3D snowman on it from Aunt Vera. But it will keep you from having a meltdown in the mall or getting all stab-ey during holiday dinners. Plus it’s cheaper than Xanax, a bottle of Grey Goose or a defense attorney.~Fabeku
