Tallgrass Knitting: May/June 2021

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 one new stitch marker set this month. The Citrus Set is hand-crafted with a citrus charm paired with glass beads in bright citrus colors and gold-toned findings. As always, each set comes as either a Full Set of 6 or a Mini-Set of 3. I love it when my stitch markers match my knitting projects and I’ve got a second Citrus Shoulder Cowl on the needles right now!

I’ve also been adding to the number of my original knitwear designs that I offer at Tallgrass Knitting.

Whenever I release a new knitting pattern on Ravelry, I always make sure to also release it in Tallgrass Knitting to give knitters options on where to purchase. And I’ve been slowly adding many of my older knitting patterns too. To date I offer 49 of my favorite knitting patterns at Tallgrass Knitting. Look for that number to grow!

And finally, I love steampunk. I’m so excited to be able to offer Steampunk themed Knitting Tool Kits packed with essential tools for your knitting!!! I’ve gathered my favorite knitting tools for each kit. I’m thrilled with the beautiful steampunk wooden needle gauges made by Sunrise Grove! Each steampunk knitting tool kit is unique and comes in a rectangular tin with hinged lid and includes:

• 1 steampunk wooden knitting needle gauge for needle sizes US 0-15
• 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 Steampunk Stitch Markers

The tin measures about 3.75″ long by 2.45″ wide by .8″ high outside (3.5″ long by 2.25″ wide by .75″ high inside).Knitting Needle Gauge measures just over 1.9″ in diameter. 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 fun tin!

That’s it for this month. Please be kind to yourself and others as we all move forward. Take care and happy knitting.
