sale list

Here is the list of things so far. You can find photos on Ravelry, but if you don't have access to it I'm happy to provide a photo.

Prices are negotiable, but preferably only if you're buying more than one set of skeins/balls. If you live in Stockholm we can try to arrange a meeting (or I can come to a knitting café), to save on shipping. I prefer not to sell separate skeins, except for the Noro Transition.

I can accept payment in PayPal or bank transfer. Contact me here by leaving a comment or send an e-mail to toveb1[at]gmail.com

sale preview

I've decided I seriously need to downsize my stash. So in the weeks to come I will be listing some things here and/or on Ebay. For those on Ravelry (I'm ffefryn), you're welcome to take a sneak peak at what will be available. But there's more that I've just not had the time to upload to that library, amongst others: Alchemy, Habu Textiles, sockyarns from Etsy and lots more.

Watch this space! Or let me know if there is anything you're looking for or even happen to know that I have.

a real fake

Sometimes we need quick fixes.

This is the Faux Cable Vest from Knit.1 magazine. Only, I'm making it the Faux Cable Sweater! I'm going to add sleeves to make it more wearable. I don't wear vests.

This is how much I've knitted just during this weekend, despite having a cold and being generally low. Size 10mm needles are a blessing sometimes...

But look at this! On our midday stroll we came across this children's cardigan, abandoned on the sidewalk. It was definitely homemade and had the cutest little buttons. What a pity to loose it!

And lastly, I would like to pre-advertise for the TWICE ANNUAL YARN SALE here on ToveB's blog. I'm looking through my stash to see what will be made available. Watch this space!

flowers and lace

Another finished object! This is a slightly secret project I've been working on for the last weeks. It's another Flower Basket Shawl.
Yarn: Färgkraft's PälsBlend  laceweight in colour KaffeLatte
Needle: 4mm circular
It was a lot easier working in wool rather than mohair, which is what I used for the previous one.

As I only needed one skein of the Färgkraft yarn, I am now offering the other one for sale. Anyone interested? I would like about 200 SEK for it, I think. It's a pretty greyish brown colour.

Now onto some quicker projects: Chevron Scarf and Airy Scarf from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. I've made a slight adjustment to the chevron pattern, working it over 6 stitches instead of 8. The yarn is Handmaiden's Sea Silk (70% silk, 30% Seacell) in colourway Rose Garden, bought from Get Knitted. The Airy scarf is knit in mohair from Anntorps Väv.

updated yarn sale!

The yarn sale album has been updated with lots of new goodies for the new year. Feast your eyes on lovely laceweight yarn, Finnish wool and Noro Transitions among other. As before, contact me at toveb1[at]gmail.com for any enquiries.

there's more to life than yarn, you know...

....but not much more?

Addition to the sale page. Rowan Kid Classic, 6 balls in that dark brown colour that is almost black. I love it, but have no idea what to make of it. I remember there's a nice sweater in A Season's Tale that would require around 5-6 balls for a medium size. *EDIT* This yarn has been sold.

Just a thought.

Look mom, it's YARN!

The yarn sale album is up.
(Don't you just hate bold fonts and vivid colours in sale ads?)

A few select pieces for your viewing pleasure. All prices are in USD, but can be re-calculated using the following conversions (from www.oanda.com):
1 USD = 7,8 SEK
1 USD = 0,83 euro

I haven't had time to check up shipping rates yet, so please ask for a quote. If you're in or near Stockholm we can always meet up somewhere instead of me sending by post.

Payment can be made in these ways:
For anyone in Sweden: either directly to my bank account or just from wallet to wallet if we meet.
For anyone outside Sweden: to my Paypal account.

All from a smoke and pet free home. Just me and my dolls here...

Please contact me at toveb1[@]gmail.com. (Omit the brackets when you copy the address.) Please be aware that the colours are not perfect, but as close as the real thing as I could get them. It may also vary between screens.

yes, we have no bananas!

...but we have yarn! And lots of it. Which is why I've decided to get rid of some of it.

WATCH THIS SPACE! Yarn sale coming very soon!
