February's Pints & Purls Special Guest: Blissful Knits

Blissful Knits - Colors blending together in perfect chaos. Raya, of Blissful Knits says:

As a teenager I came across one of my dad's books; it was about Chaos Theory by James Gleick. What I took away from the book is the interconnection between nature and science, and a new appreciation of nature's unpredictability. As my dyeing technique evolved over the last three years I began to see more and more of that chaos theory emerge. Using the low immersion dyeing technique I apply dye in small scale randomness to present large scale, visually pleasing patterns. This is what makes my yarns unique, and easily distinguishable, and are guaranteed to keep you guessing until the last bind off stitch to discover the full spectrum of color in your skein.

Be sure to attend Pints and Purls this month and meet the artist, get your hands on some yarn, and see for yourself what makes Blissful Knits so amazing!

It looked great. See pix on FB for The Purl District. the next am it was there for a few short hours and some jerk/s took it all down and threw our Artbombs in the garbage can............so guess what we're gonna do it again!

Thx to all the great peeps who showed up even from Beaverton! We all had a blast.

Amsterdam Zuiderkerk-5" of snow!

Remember Sara who was a volunteer at the Purl? She is in Amsterdam going to school for her Masters with her Boyfriend.They are coming home to USA, well right now, and will be in the shop in January. Check out your emails for exact time or look at the class schedule calender on The Purl site. Isn't this a beauty of a picture? Sara is busy with school mostly but is involved in a knitting group with a lot of famous knitters . Their names escape me right now! Evidently they are VERY serious about what they do. Well, you won't find that at The Purl. We're serious about knitting but not about ourselves. We do have fun! Stop in and unwind. Don't forget the Super Bowl Sunday Sale and Frolic. Toodles,Celia
