One of the things I got about a year and a half ago to sell at the store, was beautiful glass hand spindles made by Michael Ernst, in Oregon. They are truly lovely. Delicate, shiny, and functional. I figured they would be a hit at the SPA and would be sold quickly. I took them to the 2008 SPA and no...

Hiya. :)  I went to the New England Textile Arts Spa Knit and Spin on February 27, 28 & March 1, in Freeport. It was really really really fun! I was there as a vendor, and we did pretty well, almost as well as last year. I had a great time. Unfortunately I was too busy to get out of the ve...

This NanoWriMo thing is taking all my time. The good news is, I am up to speed on my writing goals each day. The bad news is, I am just finishing Day 4 in a row of not knitting at all, not even one stitch. I guess my knitting needles will be glad when NaNoWriMo is done  We got a shipment of Cl...

Hiya :) Hoped you liked my little video interlude posts :)  Tuesday I did indeed knit for the Ships Project, and I finished a black wool watch cap that I made with Lamb's Pride Superwash worsted, and then I started a pair of black fingering weight wool socks. So, an FO and progress on the ...

So, I am now a little more than half way down the African felted tote bag from Bully Woolies. I love this bag. I hope I don't screw up felting it. I was working on it a little bit at the counter this morning (a very little bit; it was really busy today!) and a woman came by and admired it. We talked...

Heh heh, yes, I guess the yarn fumes do sometimes get to us at Unique One. Occasionally I run across images on the web that bring up charming details from the past... We used to sell a great yarn, whose name escapes me, but it was from the Needful Yarns yarn company. However, the actual yarn ball ba...

The Unique One website will be moved to a new server with a new hosting service on April 30. Hopefully, the Unique One website itself will not be down for very long, if at all; however, the online shopping part of the website will be down for an undetermined amount of time; perhaps several weeks. Th...

I need to get caught up on my blog postings! I *think* about writing on my blog a lot.... I don't get to it as much as I should, though. But here goes: My knitting: I am starting down the backside of the Hanne Falkenberg Ballerina's first sleeve. I love working on this project, but I got distracted ...

You think you're going along just fine, and then suddenly, you find you're suffering from project creep. It sneaks up on you, silently and with a smile on its face, and you think all is well.... until you have 3 times as many projects going than you really had planned to! Take me, for example. Remem...
