Here is a look at the new pieces I’ve added to Tallgrass Knitting (my Etsy shop) over the last couple of months. I do a similar blog post every month or so for my knitting designs and thought it would be nice to do the same for Tallgrass Knitting.
I added three new stitch marker sets: Coffee, Loki and Hulk. The Coffee set is hand-crafted with a coffee cup charm paired with different shades of coffee glass pearl beads and silver-toned findings. The Loki set is a Loki helmet charm paired with green glass pearl beads and gold-toned findings. The Hulk set is a Hulk fist charm paired with black matte glass beads and gunmetal-toned findings. As always, each set comes as either a Full Set of 6 or a Mini-Set of 3. As a side note, coffee, knitting and the MCU are some of my favorite things.
National Parks are another of my favorite things. So, I’m excited to share that this month I also add two National Park kits – Arches and Canyonlands (with Landscape Arch on the outside of the tin and Canyonlands on the inside) and Yellowstone (with Old Faithful on the outside of the tin and Grand Prismatic Spring on the inside)! The pictures are from personal photos taken on family trips over the years. Earlier this year I released the Summer Prairie and Autumn Prairie kits.
Each National Parks Tool Kit comes with a Mini-Set of 3 Stitch Markers that includes one zinc alloy arrowhead charm that reminds me of the NPS (National Park Service) icon, one bronze compass charm because the National Parks represent true north or finding our true path for so many of us and one two-tone glass bead marker in NPS colors.
And each National Parks Knitting Tool Kit purchase includes a $1 donation to the National Park Foundation (the official charity of America’s national parks, that raises private funds to directly aid, support and enrich America’s 419 national parks and their programs).
All of my Knitting Tool Kits are packed with my favorite essential tools for knitters. The Arches and Canyonlands Knitting Tool Kit or Yellowstone Knitting Tool Kit each come in a 4 oz round tin with screw on lid and include:
• 1 wooden knitting needle gauge for needle sizes US 0-15 made exclusively for Tallgrass Knitting
• 1 retractable tape measure that measures up to 60″
• 1 daisy cutter yarn snip
• 1 mini crochet hook/emergency stitch fixer
• 1 straight blunt needle (7 mm)
• 1 bent blunt needle
• 1 tiny sticky note pad for flagging patterns
• 15 stitch markers (6 removable clip-lock stitch markers, 6 removable metal gourd markers, 1 Mini-set of 3 Stitch Markers)
• 1 kilt pin to hold the stitch markers (can also be used as a stitch holder)
The 4 oz round tin measures about 3.27″ in diameter by 1.1″ in height. Kilt pin measures 3″ in length. Knitting Needle Gauge measures 2.3″ in diameter. Arrowhead charm measures 20mm x 11mm (3/4 x 3/8 inch). Colors of measuring tape, crochet hook, blunt needles, tiny sticky note pad, clip-lock stitch markers and gourd stitch markers vary with each tin and may not be the same as pictured. Crochet hooks vary between sizes 3mm – 5mm and may not be the same as pictured. I’m super excited about these kits because they pull together all in my favorite knitting tools into one compact, sturdy and beautiful tin!
That’s it for this month. Please be kind to yourself and others as we all move forward. Take care and happy knitting.
