What is an "ista?" Do you know? Well, the dictionary says that "ista" is a suffix for a noun and when added to the noun, it means that the person, place or thing is a follower or adept of the noun in question. For example, I bet you've heard of a Fashionista, if you like Mally cosmetics you may be a Mallynista. However, I'm laying my money on the fact that you are probably a Yarnista. A follower or adept of yarn. Very fancy little name, but it's a label I'm proud to wear and so is the owner of Three Irish Girls - creators of some of the most gorgeous yarn colorways that I've ever seen. Three Irish Girls was founded by a delightful woman named, Sharon who admits she did not want to grow-up and be a Yarnista at all. Check out the blog and the website and see how that all changed with just a few dye pots.
Yarnista is the name of the companies blog. It is educational, funny, personable, and just a plain old good read. The latest blog posting is a pictorial lesson on the virtues of blocking our lovely hand knits. Some posts take us through Sharon's general adventures, but each one has something special to say and something meaningful for us all to think about. After you've read the blog a bit, click over to the website and take a look at the yarn. The yarn, the yarn, oh the yarn!!!! I gush a bit about it, but it really is just smashing. If you're a color freak like me or should I say Colornista, I think you will enjoy what you see there.

If you are already aware of Three Irish Girls, then you'll understand why the Yarnista blog was chosen for this week's review. If you're new to Sharon and her company, go take a look and get lost in the fun.
