Stitch Markers in Viva Magenta

Wow!  Another fall is here, but with all the raging wildfires that surrounded us this past summer, I must say I am looking forward to cooler weather.  I did manage to work out the Pantone fall colors a while ago but didn't get a chance to post here yet as I was busy filling orders.  I am still dealing with some health issues so I do not get as much done in a day (or week) as I would like, but I am happy if I can at least get a few things accomplished.

I custom make "yarn ball" stitch markers (and holders) for Kelowna Yarn & Needlecrafts based on their store logo.

Yarn Ball Stitch Markers & Holder

Every year I create a batch of stitch markers in the Pantone Color of the Year for their Anniversary sale in September.  Here are the ones I made for this year in Viva Magenta.

The stitch markers (and holders) are made exclusively for Kelowna Yarn and available at their store.

I haven't made anything else yet in the Viva Magenta Color but plan to shortly.  I already posted the color recipe with the Pantone Spring colors and you can click on the photo below to see it.

I will be posting the clay recipes for the Pantone fall colors over the next week.  The recipes are again in Kato Clay but may be my final ones I will be sharing.  I am currently working on a revised edition to my Clay Color System tutorial and for those of you who use other brands of clay, will find it to be a very useful tool.  I will share more over the week to give you a sneak peek.

Sorry to hear you are still having some health issues, glad you are busy filling orders though! Look forward to seeing the pantone recipes. It's that time of year when I think about making for the Christmas markets. Hope your health improves soon.

Thanks Cara, I will get them posted this week so you can have them. I haven't done any Christmas (or other) shows in a few years now. I probably still won't be back at it until my health improves. I do have a great doctor that is helping as much as she can but since covid, everything has been backed up. I have been waiting for 3 months now for a CT scan -- more than a year to see a specialist, 6 months to see a surgeon and so on. Now covid is raging again so who knows what lies ahead! So I take it as it comes. All I can say is getting old really sucks! (not that old yet but sure feels like it - ha!)
