Call to Action: Join the Craft Crusade
March 11, 2011
Hi friends,
The video below pretty much says it all. But if you own a shop or would like to join me on my crusade to donate to the Red Cross to help out with what is going on in Japan, email me and let’s talk nicole@darngoodyarn.com
And, let’s give thanks for what we have in the now.
Namaste,
Nicole
Got a dilemma?
March 1, 2011
Hi friends!
Great picture eh? Mike took it of me when we were on a trip in NYC after visiting my mommy. We went to this wine bar and they were closed, it was hot, I was grumpy and voila…. 
So I just wanted to use this time to extend to you the forum to send me any questions or dilemmas you might encounter. Did you mess up your knitting? Are you having a problem finding patterns? Did your dog run away? Shoot ‘em at me and I’ll consult my power team and get back to you with an answer!
Who’s first?
xoxo

J’adore Goulet Pens!
February 25, 2011
Bonjour mes amis!
So, if you’re hooked up with Darn Good Yarn then you’re a supporter of non-”big boxed” businesses. Many of us live in communities where these publicly traded companies have bled out the small “mom and pops”. This is why I wanted to bring another great company: The Goulet Pen Company: http://www.gouletpens.com
Go check em out!

Way more cool than me
January 31, 2011
Hi friends!
I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I am almost finished with a hat made out of Parisian Confection Wool Yarn.
But I wanted to share with you a cool website, that is way more cool than me. Let me preface this by saying that I love looking at fashion and design websites because they inspire me to make cool new yarns blends along with up-and-coming designs that we can all incorporate into our lives. So this cool new website is: Ice Cream and Pizza (click me).
Check out today’s post… yum YSL nail color. Did you see the shine on that?
And if you want to be even cooler than that, “Like” the facebook page for Ice Cream and Pizza so you can get updates! Click here to do that!
Insprired yet?!

Good morning friends!
I hope you had a great weekend. I had a great weekend. Mike had off both days so we got to spend some nice time together.
Today, I’m expecting a HUGE shipment of new yarns to get here. I’m so excited! It’s like Christmas when they get here along with a killer bicep workout because the boxes are so heavy.
I wanted to share with you my first post as a guest blogger too! http://oaxacaborn.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/guest-blog-recycled-silk-ribbon-from-nicole-of-darn-good-yarn/
What do you think?

Dear CEO and CFO at JBLU. Help me get my dignity back.
November 9, 2010
Hi, my name is Nicole. I’m a hard working US citizen and I feel that our rights are being violated and taken away from us at record breaking speeds. Last night, I got to thinking about an upcoming flight I’m taking. The thought of the overly-intrusive pat downs and virtual strip searches of the new scanners made me go into a panic attack.
I’m now reaching out to the CEO and CFO of Jet Blue for help. The airline company leaders are the ones that can make a real difference in helping simple Americans gain their rights and dignity back.
Oh where, oh where have my little rights gone?
October 22, 2010
I don’t like to get into politics or policy debates that often but this morning I had Good Morning America on in another room when I heard about the story of Michael Roberts. He is a professional pilot who refused a full body scan and was grounded. Read more of the story here.
But, Michael, good for you.
Have you been through the airport’s new search techniques recently? Holy crap. As Michael and his legal council put it, “it’s a virtual strip search”.
Infuriating, unnecessary and humiliating. Where the hell have our rights gone people?!
Have you been through a similar search and want to vent…let it out here.

One of my few rants: Politicians who are more interested in their own power than in their constituent's well-being. It's so irritating.
