I was fortunate enough to find a lovely Etsy shop called StitchPrayLove operated by a wonderful customer of KnittingsMyBag, Julie. Julie is a fellow Mainer so it's a Win/Win for me. I love to support folks from my beloved Maine but it was a fabulous surprise when I got my order and found out that her lip balms and lotions "ROCK".
Right-off-the-bat, when you go to her shop you can see the attention to detail. I love her graphs. She offers tons of choices in scents/fragrances and the packaging is sweet. You even get your choice of labels!
Her prices are so reasonable and they make great gifts for swaps, knitting groups, and stocking stuffers. Now for the important information: how does it feel.
I purchased the Lip Balm Set which comes with a stick lip balm and a jar lip balm. I chose Raspberries & Cream. I balm is incredible. It floats over your lips and soothes them right away. The scent is just right: not overpowering. Some balms go on with a waxy feeling but this is more like a lotion for your lips. The jar is equally lovely.
I also purchased the TRY ME! 3 Solid Lotion Bar Set. I like to keep lotions in my knitting bags because as we all know, even one little hangnail can get snagged on your yarn. The scents that I chose are: Pears & Berries; Warm Vanilla; and Amazing Grace: all of which are like the lip balm - just right when it comes to the amount of fragrance. The little surprise is that they are in the shape of a heart. Bonus! How cute is that! The lotions go on smoothly and they are not greasy like other, more expensive, bar lotions. This lotion soaks right into your skin and prepares your hands immediately for touching the most delicate of yarns and fibers. I now keep one next to my ladybug as well because all spinners know that rough hands make for more difficult spinning.
For the price point, you can't beat these wonderful products for handmade gift giving or for purchasing in bulk to have in all your knitting/crocheting project bags. Her customer service is superb and I received my order very quickly.
My review results is 2 Needles Up for StitchPrayLove Go to her shop and order now ahead of the crowd because once the word gets out, I just know it will be difficult to get her products.

I also would love Berry Pomegranate. I'm following the blog through google plus and I joined the group!
Wow, thanks for the review, I would not have known about this shop. I would want Tangerine Tango! I'm already a group member and I'll subscribe through my feed reader.
Thanks for the info about the shop. I've been a Rav group member for a while and I have subscribed through Netvibes. I'm sensitive to many scents so I might have to chat with her to get a better idea what they smell like. But I love the idea of the Lemongrass or anything that is more earthy instead of florals.
I read your blog through Bloglovin. I just joined your Ravelry group and I would love the Tangerine Tango flavor. Sounds wonderful.
I've been a group member for a while, but I'm now following the blog. They all sound good, but I think I'll go with berry-pomegranate. Thanks!
Hi Lois! :D
I follow via Google +, not sure how else to subscribe as I don't have yahoo, atom or netvibes so I hope following via google was right. I am a member of your RAV group. I'd love the flavor/scent Coconut Lemongrass or Peach, please if I should win. :)
