It looks like it will be a beautiful weekend to watch the world go by while sitting and knitting on a porch.

20 November 2015

Almost turkey day!

Here's Lyn's finished Clue #2 from Stephen West's MKAL.

Clue #3 has been started. 300 stitches have been picked up for the next clue's work!

SIT & KNIT

Don't forget, we will be sitting and knitting Friday and Saturday 28 and 29 November. Stitch off those pieces of pie and second helpings.

2 July 2015

Still knitting Dotted Rays but I'm on band thirteen. I've started to repeat my color sequence but it looks completely different. I've folded over the shawl so I could show you how I solved the color change problem without having the 'small' end be solid turquoise.

And so I knit on........

Don't  for get the

SIT AND KNIT

It looks like spring has finally sprung!

Easter is this coming Sunday and we wish you a pleasant holiday. We're planning a

 Sit and Knit

Saturday April 3, all day at the shop. Stop by, sit awhile and prepare yourself for the Easter Bunny. We're here to help, tell stories and look at the progress you're making with your knitting.

See you soon.

It was eggs that were supposed to be dyed!

10 April 2014

I know that I shouldn't get too excited but it appears that spring has really arrived.

It also looks as though this weekend will be nice for the

Sit and Knit

on

Saturday April 12

an it just might be on the porch! This is an all day event so come when you have the time. Looking  forward to seeing you and what you are knitting.

18 March 2014

Spring will happen on March 20, but no one told Old Man Winter!

I have send out invitations to the 13th annual  P J Party. If you attended last year and haven't received your invitation please call the shop. As of today, there are two opening available. If you or someone you know are interested in attending (October 24 - 26) please call the shop and let us know.

A Sit and Knit has been scheduled for Saturday, April 12. Knowing the way the weather has been it will most likely be a bit too chilly for an outside day. The shop will just have to do. I will have light refreshments available.

Hopefully this will help break the winter doldrums.

Happy New Year!

Whew! Yesterday's storm was a close call. Just a bit of snow to remind all of us that it still is Winter. The roads here a clear and dry.

Last weekend's Sit and Knit was great fun. We had a crowd and we made room for everyone. It was the last Sit and Knit for 2013.

But,

the first Sit and Knit for 2014 is this Saturday January 4. Come join us at the shop if you missed last weekend.

The first new yarn of 2014 has arrived.

The first yarn is TOPPER from Trendsetter Yarns. This is a ball of yarn that changes color and texture and knits a hat or scarf with a ball of yarn. It is just plain fun and the patterns are free on the Trendsetter website. The ball even includes a pompom for the finish of the hat.

This

Makes one of these

Got some yarn that is very nice but you want to jazz it up a bit? Well, Grace is the yarn for you. This is a 'run-along' yarn that you knit with your plain yarn and it adds the jazz. There is 275 yards to a ball so scarf, hat and spaced in a shawl will add that bit of 'bling'.

The small teardrop shaped paillettes are spaced about 7" apart so you get the sparkle your looking for but it isn't overwhelming. Every row too much? Well then how about every other row for a bit less. You decide how to upscale your yarn.

Hope to see you this Saturday.

4 November 2013

Halloween is behind us and Thanksgiving is just ahead. The weather is turning cold and now is the time to start knitting socks, scarves, cowls and hats. These are simple projects completed quickly and can be salted away for that special gift.

Starting on Saturday, November 30th we will be having a Stacy Charles yarn tasting. There will be yarns for you to sit and knit with - test if you wish. What a great way to try out a new fall yarn. We'll try to include a few surprise yarns

At the same time on November 30 and December 1, we will be having a sit and knit. Just what you will need - a calm environment to relax in and knit. Just what you need after a holiday.

Remember, you can always ask to test knit a yarn that we have in the shop. All you have to do is ask!

I hope to see you Thanksgiving weekend.

30 August 2013

Don't forget!

Tomorrow and Sunday there's a Sit and Knit at the shop during store hours. Not going anywhere for Labor Day? Make Hunt Country Yarns your destination. At least you're out of the house sharing time with great folks and knitting.

What could be better?

8 May 2013

It's "Sit and Knit" this coming Saturday! Rain or shine the porch will be ready. Remember, it can be raining (it's suppose to be 76) and we can still sit on the porch. No motorcycles if it is raining! Ah, the soft sound of rain.

There will be goodies, as always. Because it is suppose to be warm, we'll have iced tea available.

If you missed Maryland Sheep and Wool, I will still have my consignments here so no need to panic that you've missed something.

So come on down and have a great time with fellow knitters and crocheters.

See you Saturday May 11.

4 July 2012

DON'T FORGET! This Saturday and Sunday are Sit and Knit days at the shop.  I will have plenty of iced tea and cookies for munching. There will  be fans on the  porch so unless it is blisteringly hot, the porch will be nice.

Today is the start of my Anniversary Sale. Each week there are several items marked down. And, each week these items change. Stop by and see what will tempt you.

I can say that Friday's storm was an interesting experience. The shop lost power for two days and I still have no power at home as of this morning. We suffered no damage at the house or at the shop. In fact the storm didn't seem to be that bad at the house. The phone/data lines at the house have been down since Friday too, but this morning on the way to the shop there were several crews trying to remove the 24" diameter tree that took down the phone line.

A generator at home keeps  the vital systems going except for AC. It hasn't been that bad. The house has only gotten up to 85 degrees. Survivable with fans and lots of cool things to drink with plenty of ice.

See you this weekend!
