A Trunk full of Bad Frogs

Each color on the cat's body has a different texture drawn on to look like cables, bobbles, scallops, ribbing, and other knit or crochet textures. Main text is curly and reads Yarnivore.

Bad Frog: Good Yarn!
Come check 'em out at the trunk show this Saturday
Come by Yarnivore this Saturday, December 9, to meet Kristen of Bad Frog Yarns and see her beautiful yarns!
There are rich tonals like the Winter Collection (center photo below), colorways that speak to our inner nerd like the Monty Python Collection (top right) - with Hamster, Elderberry, and Fully-Laden Swallow, and bright multis like Bag of Dice (far right of the top-left pic) and Northern Lights, which is black-light reactive!
So with yarn so good, why call it Bad Frog? Of course there's a story!
"One night my partner Josh and I were thinking about names for my new yarn-dyeing business and he was like, “You know, I actually don’t know anything about knitting!” and googled common knitting phrases. He was thoroughly tickled by the word frogging. He asked what it meant. So I explained how it's kind of a bad thing. He replied, “Huh, I didn’t know there was such a thing as a BAD frog,” which we thought was hilarious! We realized it actually sounded pretty cool and would make a snazzy name!"
Come meet them and see what other beauties Kristen's cooked up for us this Saturday, December 9 from 11 am-4 pm!

Shop Newsa white woman with long straight dark hair stands in front of a beautiful wavy architectural wooden wall. She's facing away from us with her right arm raised to touch the wall. She's wearing a bright pink shirt, jeans, and a beautiful handknit shawl made with two hand-dyed yarns - one dark brown tonal and one multicolor. The shawl has stripes that wave in similar ways to the wall

Featured Yarn & Pattern!
Here's a gorgeous pattern for those beautiful hand-dyed yarns. Nymphalidea by Melinda VerMeer is a beautiful shawl especially designed to take advantage of the uniqueness of hand-dyed yarns. The pattern is available in two versions: the orginal FREE version on knitty.com, and an updated paid version with instructions for an updated shape popular with many knitters who have made their own version of Nymphalidea and tips on using color, making your own alterations and a step-by-step blocking photo tutorial. The updated version is $6.50 and is available in-store or on Ravelry.

Have you ever written something in Sharpie (or other indelible marker) and wished you could erase it? You totally can! They're made with alcohol based inks, so all you need to erase them is a pad soaked in rubbing alcohol.

If you accidentally get Sharpie on your yarn? Pour some rubbing alcohol through it and it should take the stain away, too.
