Happy New Year!

We have been busy making sure that Santa brought all of the right things for a great knitter's Christmas – especially gift certificates.

We are getting in new items all of the time. I have more Skacel Lace Clicks coming. Now I can't get the standard Clicks. Go figure! I got in Hiya-Hiya interchangeable needles. So if you are interested, come by and see how they do their needles.

We are considering carrying interchangeable bamboo, ebony and rosewood needles. Tell us what you think about this. Would you purchase wooden interchangeable needles?

I thought you might want to know about the Vogue knitting patterns in the back of each issue. To quote:

"Some patterns in this issue require large charts of lengthy instructions. Space considerations have made it necessary for us to move parts of the instructions to our website. Please read the NOTES before beginning a project to check if any part of the instructions is on our website.

To find these items, visit our website and click on 'CHARTS.'"

To be fair they will send you the charts if you send them a SASE. I just thought you might want to know. You might want to check your issues to make sure you have the information you need for the issues you have.

We've posted a pattern on Ravelry that seems to be a quick like. It was designed by Lyn's mom and we thank her for the pattern. It's a quick knit and only takes one skein of Berroco Boralis. You can use any yarn you wish but that is what we used for the model. If you go to my Ravelry page it will link you through to the websites page and you can down load the .pdf.

We are inventorying the shop so the drudgery work is at hand but we are still open and willing to help you and serve you needs. Stop by and break us away from the counting, please.
