Brrrrrrrrr, it's still cold outside.
I've decided to call Sunday

We can sit and knit and eat chips here at the shop.
So, bring your knitting and join us at the shop. I'll supply chips and you can supply dip.

Tired of the dreary days with no sun and bone chilling cold? I have the solution for you!
Plymouth Yarns has just released a new fingering weight yarn called Neon Now. This will make your days seem warmer and brighter.
I have all five colors in stock so don't let it be said that winter can't be brightened up. Check out the link to see all of the colors.

The new yarns just keep on arriving to keep you interested.
The newest addition is Tangier yarn from Cascade Yarns. This is a long repeat multi-color yarn that is a silk, cotton, acrylic, rayon blend. It is a single-ply yarn that has a very smooth hand - it feels wonderful. This yarn knits at 14-18 sts/inch and would be great for a summer tee or tank.
Or this would make a wonderful wrap or cowl for those of you who would prefer no wool. Because of the color changes this is just plain fun to knit. Can't wait to see what color is coming next. We'll knit up a sample as soon as we can but stop by and knit with it a bit to see if you like it.
See you soon!

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.
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.
