What is a HARLOONY? That is what John calls
all of us Yarn Harlot Fans!

Has it been a year already?

YEP!

Stitch Markers:

So, do you want to buy some stitch markers from Marly? Of course you do! Like I said in the podcast I have been making stitch markers like CRAZY! I am in LOVE with them. It seems like everybody I them too tells me to sell them online.

Those of you who know me know that it doesn't take a lot of prodding to get me to do something. I kind of just jump in while the idea is still warm ;-) So here I go, I am going to sell stitch markers for both Crochet and Knitting. I think every project should have a little bling ;-)

I will let you know as soon as they are officially up for sale. But to give you a heads up the prices will range from 3.00 for a single marker to 10-15.00 for a set. FREE SHIPPING!!!

Yea, Anniversary!!! Mine is this summer... not sure what I'm gonna do... might have to do a contest of some sorts... I'm also a stitch marker maker, so i might have to give some of those away!! And maybe some stash! :)

I am almost caught up on your shows... I found out about you from SheKnits and have started listening... you always put me in such a good mood because you laugh and giggle... makes me laugh... the people at the gym prolly think I'm crazy... cruising along on the treadmill, laughing to myself!! ha ha :)

Heather said...

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of the stitch markers - can't wait to see them!

Hey Marly,
How awesome- one year!!! I got caught up listening to all past episodes. Keep rockin'...
Do I need a ticket for the chance to win the book? I would most certainly lose it like you did!

Happy Anniversary Marly! It's been an exciting year for you and so much fun for me to listen in :)

Here's hoping for many more years of YarnThing! Congrats!

Katie O said...

Oh my goodness... you crack me up!! I am so jealous you met the Harlot. She was in Ann Arbor a few weeks ago and i had no idea until the next day :( Boo! So cool you got to meet her! Again!

Happy anniversary!

Wendy aka Misswendiki said...

Hi Marly! I also met the Harlot once...before I was a knitter. She was at a publishing trade show to promote her first book. I told her that I had always wanted to learn, and she said that if I could dress myself in the morning, I could learn to knit. I was intrigued, and halfway through reading her book, and laughing my butt off, I just knew I had to learn! And now I'm hooked...on knitting and the Harlot!

Crochetlocket said...

Happy #1!!!!

Marly, you are great. Of course you have become well know. It is your happy, vibrant energy that keeps us all coming back for more.

You are linked on my blog and I have mentioned you several times. I have used some of your suggestions (note that I had a ton of books spiral bound) and I have mentioned you favorably.

Keep Rockin' Girl-Friend!!

Marly,
Loved the podcast and it is nice to see your picture to place it with your lovely voice. The part where you reviewed the articles in the current VK with the editors was a lot of fun. As a subscriber, it was interesting to hear their comments and go thru the pages with you.

I am interested in being considered for the Yarn Harlot book.

Happy anniversary Marly, keep the podcasts coming and we'll keep listening. Good job!

Denise said...

Marly,
SO glad to hear your podcasts. . . I miss it when I don't get to hear you often. So glad you got to meet the Yarn Harlot again and that SHE KNEW YOU! HOW cool is that? But you have to admit, you have enthusiasm, a great laugh, and interesting podcasts. That is why we keep coming back to listen and comment.

I'd love to win a set of your personally created knitting markers. Add my name!
