Immediate warning to yarn users!

Knitpicks has recently been sending out yarn infested with carpet beetles. Apparently one of their warehouses has an active infestation.

They have shut the warehouse down for now, but if you have recent yarn from them in your stash in may be infested!

Knitpicks is not currently informing their customer base of this issue (pretty standard for them, unfortunately), so word of mouth is necessary.

Crocheted a Prince from Zooliminolgy for my son’s friends birthday.

finished the sweater for my mom!

the dealla cardigan, it’s a knitpicks pattern. i would never have picked this pattern (knitted flat+seamed, charts) or this yarn (knitpicks wool of the andes, not soft enough for my taste) but she asked and i couldn’t refuse. 4 months end to end, i also had a second sweater on the go while doing this one.

i’m glad it’s done 😂

photo dump of in progress.

Finally finished and blocked these cute socks!

It was a fun experiment with color dominance in colorwork knitting and gave me a really thick, soft, cushiony fabric. They’re super comfy and almost more like slipper-socks.

Pattern: Call Them Cherry Blossoms by Tiina Kuu

Yarn: knitpicks palette and knitpicks stroll glimmer (discontinued)

If I had a nickel for every time I went into battle against a large, generally respected yarn company because they were fucking idiots about how they handled their customers, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot. But it's weird that it's happened twice.

the worst tragedy has befallen me: there was a crawly larva on a new ball of (cotton!!) yarn

and it's been freeballing (as it were) in a basket with a bunch of other fibers

Hey does anyone know if Knitpicks got their bug infestation under control?

I want to get some yarn while it's on sale, but I'm hesitant if they're still having infestation problems.

Last i heard anything was Several months ago but shit like that takes time to really clear up.
