I've started knitting the Eden Prairie shawl by Nancy Whitman. I'm using Petite Madison by Prism Arts. I will take a picture as soon as I have a bit more knit. But if you stop by this weekend for the Memorial Day Sit and Knit you can see it 'in action'. This project is a good exercise in Modular Knitting.

Here's one of the samples to give you an idea of what it looks like.

I've finished the Turtle Bay Scarf/Shawl using Luna Effects from Stacy Charles. You need to stop by and touch the scarf to see how wonderful it feels.

We now carry the Traditional natural color yarns from Cestari. This yarn is 100% a Virginia product. The sheep are raised here (Columbia and merino cross) and the yarn is milled by Cestari here. We're carrying his 'worsted' weight wool. In addition to the natural colors, there are two dyed colors that are favorites from years past and we have those two colors: Blue Denim Heather and Blackberry.

Cestari also produces a cotton blend fingering yarn, Montpelier. The cotton used in this yarn is raised in Virginia and milled by Cestari in Virginia. Those of you who are looking for a cotton blend for socks, this is the answer.

Ask us to show you this yarn the next time you stop by the shop.

Memorial Day is coming up soon. Please join us this weekend for a:

 SIT AND KNIT

SATURDAY and SUNDAY

during

NORMAL SHOP HOURS

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

19 May 2016

Rain, rain go away, come again another day.

And an another day will be Saturday, of course. Well, gardening is out so why not come to the shop and sit on the porch and knit.

We're sorry that you might have missed the Porch Party but we can still have a porch party without the formality.

We're going to start knitting a very popular model from the Kauni Trunk Show.

It's knit with a solid and a variegated yarn and is knit in an 'A' line style.

Lyn will be knitting the model so we will leave it out as it progresses.
