The First Organic Soap and Hemp Face Cloth Promo in the Mail!

Good Afternoon,

My morning was spent typing and revising and printing.  My first promo package went out to the mail on it's way to Massachussets. 

My brother has a salon in Bradford, Salon DKS, just in case you get out that way, and he has agreed to carry my beautiful Petal Face Cloths and Organic Soap. 

The first photo is of course, the Petal Face Cloth, which is hand knit  from hemp fiber.  It is a renewable resource, a natural exfoliate, antimicrobial and biodegradable. The second is a photo of some of the actual samples that I ordered.  These are the 1 oz bars and they are available in a 4 oz size as well.  For those who are fragrance sensitive, there is also a 4 oz bar of unscented soap, also organic.

The colors of these soaps are so vivid and the different essential oils in the bars brings back memories of the 1970s.  Here is one....walking around Woodstock, NY and browsing the shops.  They all had that wonderful aroma of essential oils.  It could have been incense, candles, or soap,  and probably a combination of all.  But just now when I had them out on the table to photograph, I took a free ride back a couple of decades.

I have a couple of more promo packages to get out, and I will definitely share with you the outcomes.  If any of you who follow my blog are interested, drop me a  comment below, or email me, dee@youandmeknit.com, or catch me on Face Book. 

Have a great rest of the afternoon and stay cool.  Hot and humid with the possibility of T Storms.

Happy Knitting!



Road Trip

Good Afternoon,

Hot once again, but as I write this, I am traveling to Massachusetts with my Mom and my Sister.  We are going to my Brother’s for a hair day.   He has a salon in his house, Salon DKS, and I don’t mind the travel when the result is a visit and a hair day.  I am not driving, so it is a productive day for me. 

I finished a washcloth minutes ago, that I hope that he will want to carry a line of in his shop.  Fingers are crossed.  I also ordered a two pound cone of unbleached and undyed Hemp yarn to use as well.  Hemp is a perfect fiber as it is organic, antimicrobial, biodegradable, and exfoliates your skin.  The more it is washed the softer it gets. 

I can think of dozens of ways to use this fiber besides a washcloth due to it’s wonderful properties. Having a dish cloth or pair of socks would be a good start.  I will have to make a pair of socks to see how they feel on my sensitive tootsies.

We are no on the last leg of the trip, getting closer to our exit and then I have to stop writing.  Time to pick up my other project, a sweater that I am knitting from left over yarn from a baby blanket I finished in June.

                                            

I am now in my brothers shop waiting my turn.  My sister is in the chair first. 

My turn next...that's cause Mom is relaxing in the pool.  Time to pull the sweater out of it's bag and get a move on.  Projects are lined up and have to get moving.

Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Knitting!
