I realize that losing Sasha was a necessary part of life and that ignoring it won’t make it go away. This blog is an important extension of my shop and life and I need to have it for everyone. So without further ado, my first post in forever!
I finally was able to snag a Phat Fiber box this month and it just came today! Phat Fiber is a box full of yarn & fiber samples, along with patterns, stitch markers, buttons, coupons & other fibery goodies! It is very similar to the Sampler boxes, but geared towards us fibery geeks!
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
Following this is photos of what I received in the June Phat Fiber box, don’t look if you haven’t rec’d it yet and don’t want to be spoiled!!

Here is what I got in my box!!! The theme this month was Oceanic, so it was right up my alley!!

Cute little message in a bottle:

Cute purple stitch marker
All the amazing fiber samples!
And all the awesome yarn samples:
I also got two amazing patterns, a ton of coupons and lots of new vendors to buy from!!! I just signed up to become a contributer myself, so look out for Mandalinn Knits & Spins coming to a Phat Fiber box someday in the near future!! Probably the August box, but I will post here when I am sure.
There are many new and exciting things that I am working on lately, including getting ready for SAFF…which will be my first fiber festival ever, starting a Mandalinn Knits & Spins Batt Club (yup finally!!!) and other various interesting things.
I have also been having fibery fun days here with my buds lately and will continue to do so and share the fun here. We do everything from carding, to dyeing, to knitting, to spinning and more! Gnat (barknknit), Krisha (susie190) & Monica (BeltwaySpinner) were here on Sunday for like 7 hours of awesome knitting & spinning! It was the best day in a long time!
I am also quite active on Twitter lately, so please add me if you Tweet!!
And finally, I have been KNITTING like mad lately. I have many neat projects lined up, including a sweater out of my own handspun!!!!
So I hope you will stick around as I will be adding a lot more in the days to come, I am so glad to have this going again, it is a great way to keep motivated!
Happy Knitting & Spinning!
