Love and Farkles: I Heart Fridays

Pender Island, where I live, has so many talented artists. Everything from writing and painting to pottery and fiber. I love to try different types of art forms and something I've dabbled in is knitting. We have 'Knit Night' where once a week a few of us get together to knit and eat sushi! (I'm all about the sushi as I'm still knitting dishcloths and not even close to some of their creations) One of the awesome knitters is Rowie and her business is called Pirate Yarrrn! (I just love the name!) Here is a little about Rowie (taken from her Etsy shop):

I am a California girl living on a small island in British Columbia. I am a Professional Baker, and a Massage Therapist. I live with my husband, 5 dogs, 2 cats, 2 pigs and some birds. I have always been a crafty person, and knitting and dying are my newest obsessions.

Living in Canada, even the southern west coast, requires warm wooly things for every day. That means they have to be cute AND functional! Through experience I have come up with a collection of items that I enjoy making and wearing. My yarn is all hand dyed/painted with care, and sometimes I love it so much I have a hard time letting it go! The selection is always changing slightly, especially with the seasons, so check back often!

Her Etsy shop is crammed full of pretty colourful yarn, lots of different types to pick from too! And every item has an awesome pirate name too! Here are a few of the pretty selections:
