Creative Gift Wrap
April 25, 2011
Hello thegiftedblog.com Click the image to vist the site and see some DGY ribbon at work!
Happy Monday Friends!
For those of you who purchase your yarn from Darn Good Yarn, you know that I love to wrap up your yarn in purple tissue paper and use bits of recycled yarn and ribbon.
I really feel honored that you want to try out Darn Good Yarn, or your coming back for seconds or thirds…or….
So, in the same way your purchases at Darn Good Yarn are gifts, I want you to have the yarn presented to you as gift…an affordable luxury!
But in that same light, I love seeing what the latest trends in wrapping gifts are. The one thing I’ve learned since starting Darn Good Yarn is that the wrapping is half the fun of the gift. That’s why I want to re-introduce you to Charissa at http://www.thegiftedblog.com
The site is an amazing collection of eye candy and total inspiration. I mean, hello, have you seen the photography?! Charissa is really an artist and I just had to share this great blog with you. She is the master of creative gift wrapping.
Again, be sure to visit, http://www.thegiftedblog.com and show my friend some Darn Good Yarn-esque support!
Have a wonderful week and tell me what’s the coolest wrap job you’ve done lately?!

New Pattern: How to make a tutu with recycled silk sari ribbon
December 21, 2010
An excerpt from Patterns…
DarnGoodYarn.com owner, Nicole, walks you through the very basic steps of making a tutu. If you (as an adult) are working on this project on your own it'll take a little over an hour. Plan for a little more time…
And the winners are…
December 9, 2010
This was a quick contest because Mike’s birthday (official DGY husband) is tomorrow and I need to bake a cake, clean the house and print labels for these new yarns and get them attached!
This is quickly becoming a very fun tradition at Darn Good Yarn and it’s beyond wonderful to have so many of you take part in this. I always smile when I add the labels with the winners names and send this marvelous yarn off to yarn shops all over the place.
Congrats to the following people for their yarn color choices:
Yarn #1 goes to Jill Holland winning with Jubilee
Yarn #2 goes to Tiffany Conner with India’s Indigo
Yarn # 3 goes to Sam Rose (of Calamity Designs) with Snooki. She submitted it as a joke but I’m a Jersey girl at the end of the day.
Yarn # 4 goes to Rebecca Mohrbach for Rapunzel
Yarn #1
Yarn #2
Yarn #3
Yarn #4
Name that color NOW!!!

The Creativity of Daphne
September 16, 2010
I love Canada (did you know I went to school not too far from the border? Go Clarkson University!) and I’ve had some good times there (which we’ll save for another blog post). But I love Canada even more now because that’s where Daphne is from!
Who is this Daphne? An entrepreneur, an artist, a knitter, a yarnaholic, a fantastic photographer and a fellow Darn Good Yarner!
I wanted to share pictures of some of the items she made (including Darn Good Yarn’s very own 20,000 Leagues Under the Purse).
Did you know you can find her at craft fairs around Prescott Ontario too?! If you’re going to be in the area and want to check out (and buy) one of her purses here’s her contact info. Even if you’re not in the area and would like to purchase one of these simply darling bags (Remember the holidays will be here sooner than you know!!!) just shoot her an email and she’ll get you set up and ship it to you!
Daphne’s info is : keltcarr@yahoo.ca 613-925-3028 and she is located in Prescott Ontario Canada!
No Knit, No Crochet Silk Headband Kit
September 14, 2010
How flippen cute?!
This headband was inspired when I cut my bangs too much…uh oh. So the headband helped make my botched haircut job look halfway decent. See more of the drama on this video:
So, this kit will include enough recycled silk sari ribbon to make this headband along with a link to instructions and the beads.
You just need to supply the glue gun and a stick or two of hot glue.
You can choose which two flower colors you’d like on your headband. If you would like other color combos, just email us and ask and we’ll make it work for you!

1 hour Sari Ribbon Netbook Case
September 10, 2010
Video loading…
Ah, before we get into the knitting pattern, I wanted to share a special woman’s Etsy store site: Rose Young’s awesome store: fuzzballs.etsy.com
That’s where I got that great necklace from in the video.
OK, back to the show!
So some background: I was looking for a sleeve originally for my netbook. I made one, but it’s not terribly useful. I carry too much “stuff” with me. I usually use this at the library and I’m taking notes in a dare-I-say real notebook while I have research happening on the netbook. So, I made this bag more loopy with no real structure. It serves the purpose, it’s quick to make, it’s colorful and best of all.
You can also modify this to make it satchel type bag by lining it and throwing a strap on it.
You’ll need two skeins of any of these yarns located here
Size US 19 needles
Cast on 3 sts,
Row 1, K3
Row 2-7 M1, K to end of row (Row 7 is approximate depending on the size of your netbook. Measure yours and make adjustments as necessary.)
Row 9-12 knit
Row 13-18, k2tog, K to end of row
Row 19 K3
Bind off
Make another panel.
Sew together leaving one end open (your choice of lengthwise or width wise). I used left over ribbon to make closures. But you can use buttons or whatever else your heart desires!
