This is not exactly the spring day I was expecting. I was at least hoping for sun. But all in all, there is not 8' plus of snow on the ground.

Just in, Lana Grossa 365 Cotone. This worsted weight chained cotton blend has arrived in several pastel colorways which are great for baby. Stop by and check them out!

    
This yarn knits at 5 sts/inch but can be knit to as much as 6.5 sts/inch. This cotton is really soft and light because of the way it is spun and the addition of polyamid (think nylon).

Hate that little rodent. Six more weeks of winter, BAH!

We're here today, Friday, for your knitting emergencies.

Well, six more weeks of winter is what the famous groundhog said and he seems to be right.

To brighten up your winter I've just gotten in some 'warm' color sock yarn to help brighten your days.
It's called Fluormania by Regia.

Because winter is being so persistent, I will forgo coming to the shop tomorrow Thursday, March 5th.

I hope that you are all well stocked with bread, milk, toilet paper AND yarn. See you Friday.

Well, it looks like we're in for six more weeks of winter. Darn that groundhog!

We have in stock one of Cascade Yarns new yarns - Heritage 150. Here's some of the colors we have

 Now couldn't you imagine making you pet happy with a neck warmer made from Cascade Heritage 150 Multis?

I think I have figured out the easiest way to cast-on for toe-up socks. I've been struggling to find a 'best' way and thought that I had if figured out - until I found what I think is the easiest and slickest way to start from the toe. No muss, no fuss - just easy.

Toe-up socks class is next Saturday, February 7 and 10 am. We'll be using DK weight yarn so you can see what you're doing but once you see, knitting with fingering weight is a breeze!

See you then.

18 December 2014

The holidays are rushing up on all of us. Just so you know, I will be

closing at 3 pm on Christmas Eve

and

reopening at 10 am on Friday. 

We welcome you to come to the shop on Saturday or Sunday for holiday decompression if you need to. We can all share stories about our holiday fun.

We just got another shipment of Lang Jawoll. These are the special November colors (yes I know that this is December but they're running a bit late). This is a limited 'edition' of Jawoll. The colors will not be repeated, so you snooze, you loose.

Happy Holidays
