Everything is coming up monsters

It is a well documented (mainly by my ravelry projects page) that I am in love with Danger Crafts patterns. Since I made my first Olivia monster in 2009, I've been hooked. And I believe everyone should try making monsters just once. So that is why The Wool Dispensary is holding a two month long Danger Crafts Extravaganza KAL!

June and July will be filled with monster/critter/dinosaur knitting. Why two months you ask? Who wouldn't want to prolong all this fun? Also, we know summer gets a bit busy, what with everyone wanting to be outside and take pesky vacations and such. We wanted as many people as possible to knit along. And have a chance to win fabulous prizes!

What fabulous prizes? For every finished monster/critter/dinosaur you will be entered in a drawing to win:

• First Prize- The Big Book of Knitted Monsters (donated by Rebecca Danger) and your choice of a skein of The Wool Dispensary yarn.
• Second Prize- A Danger Crafts Pattern of your choice and a skein The Wool Dispensary yarn.
• Third Prize- A Danger Crafts pattern of your choice and a skein of The Wool Dispensary yarn.

How awesome is that! As always, you are welcome to KAL no matter what yarn you are using, however since this a Wool Dispensary KAL, we encourage the use of our yarn. For every monster/critter/dinosaur that you finish that uses Wool Dispensary yarns you will get extra entry into the prize drawing. So, get your yarn and needles ready for the Danger Crafts Extravaganza of Wool Dispensary Fun!

Update Time

::ringing of the proverbial dinner bell::

Come and get it! The shop has been updated with some new fingering weight, a new worsted (in the test phase) and some Useful Restorative and Useful Irradiant Limited quantities right now but be on the look out for more colors from the Happily Ever After Collection- including Where the Wild Things Are (an homage to the recently deceased and much missed Maurice Sendak), Badass Unicorn and Troll Bridge.

Where the Wild Things Are in Greater Stimulant

Sneaking a Peek at Happily Ever After

We are here today to introduce two new colors to the line up of Happily Ever After: a Fairy Tale Collection. 

Bad Ass Unicorn in Useful Irradiant, Useful Restorative and TBN merinoFirst up Bad Ass Unicorn. A Berry Purple to raspberry pink depending on the base it's dyed in. 

Then Troll Bridge, a reddigh brown with warm orange undertones. It's like fall leaves piled beneath a bridge that could have anything lurking in it.

Troll Bridge in Useful Irradiant, Useful Restorative and a TBN merinoHas your curosity been piqued? What colors do you want to see The Wool Dispensary produce this year?

FO Thursday?

Monday got away from me before I could blink so to wrap up our lovely April Understory KAL here is a line up of finishers on a Tuesday.

Taschenmaedchen (on ravelry)  finished hers in Schoeller+Stahl Merino Mix.

Skyhooked knit hers in Schaefer Yarn Company Lola Superwash, and achieved a lovely pooling effect.

emeemknit did hers in Brown Sheep Prairie Silks and it looks awesome.

Bflo's is Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran, looking nice and tweedy

dukecreeker did about 4 repeats and knit in Paton's Classic Wool.

Shinies has hers knit in The Alpaca Yarn Co. Astral, and it looks like she shortened hers too.

She also took a picture of it on her pup! I am sucker for a good 'knitted thing on dog' picture.

Valkyrie knit one in an unidentified yarn

and last but least, one last one from Girlwithapurl in Berroco's Boboli.

Congratulations to all our FO Knitters! They all look so lovely. I might just contemplate starting another, because I finished mine, right under the wire on April 30th. 

We won't be KALing in May. Much like Malabrigo hold the fort on March, Madelinetosh has taken over the needles come May, so look for another KAL in June!
