Twice Knit

because once is never enough

knitting snobbery, reconsidered September 25, 2009

Hello everyone, I’m a yarn snob. I fully admit it. Thus, Lion Brand is not one of my favorite yarn producers. Sure, they have some new natural fiber yarns, but they aren’t easy to find. They occasionally have cute patterns on their website, but I’m not sure I’ve ever really been moved to make one of them.

Somehow, I ended up on their mailing list, and I was surprised–very surprised–to find myself wanting to run out and buy some of their craft store-staple (read: non-yarn snob inducing) yarn to make several of the patterns in their recent catalog. Alas, I’d have to learn to crochet for them, but that seems a small price to pay for such adorableness!

They have a whole herd of cute, cute amigurumi animals: the Super Fun Critters. Take the giraffe, for instance:

There are some really cute bibs, too, such as this robot one:

But this is my favorite: the Pond Friends Stacking Toy. Is this not the cutest thing ever? I must have it!
