Guerilla Knitting in Estonia?

So you may have noticed the shop is down at the moment, but the creative wheels are still turning here in the SweetShop. I just took a 3 week trip around Europe, starting in, of all places, Estonia.

This is one of the first things I saw...

It's a pillar in an underground bus terminal, wrapped in knitting! How cool is that?
Apparently this is a part of Tallinn's stint as European capital of culture for 2011, but I was immediately reminded of Knitta Please and Glitty Knitty Kitty.

Also, Estonia is apparently known for their high quality yarn...I bought some! Now I just have to think of what to make with it...

New Item: Flamingo Rings!

So this morning I got mentally hamstrung trying to finish a new pattern...started playing around with some new yarn I have...wound up with this...

...which then turned into this!

You can get more information and order your very own Flamingo Rings HERE.

Video: Why I Buy And Sell Handmade...

Just a little ramble around the topic of buying and selling handmade items. I don't really make any points here, just talking up the basics.

Yarn of the Moment: Berroco Cotton Twist

It's too hot for most wools and acrylics, and I'm trying to use up my stash yarn. About 2 years ago I bought 3 skeins of Berroco Cotton Twist and I'm *finally* using it to make a cute shell pattern summer tunic. I just hope I have enough...Berroco discontinued this yarn a while ago, and an ebay search doesn't show anybody clearing it out of their stash just yet.

As cotton yarns go, it's not amazing. It's not very tightly spun so it's easy to split stitches and the skeins--even though they're from the same dye lot--have some color irregularity. Still, I originally bought it because it's a beautiful milky summer white, it has a little rayon blended in for durability, and at $5.00 a skein, the price was ok.

What's your favorite summer yarn? What's your favorite cotton?
