Let's think soft and cuddly with a tiny bit of bling. Okay, let's think Firefly buy Lana Grossa.

This beautiful alpaca blend yarn knits quickly at 3.5 sts/inch. We're knitting a cape with a cowl but sweaters, hats and scarves are not out of the question. The colors are classic and they have the most beautiful deep wine color that you've ever seen.

The image just doesn't do this color justice. You have to see it to believe it.

We're knitting this yarn into this cape as I type. Just ask to see our progress. This is a very easy to knit pattern.

The Porch Party is fast approaching. Mark your calendars for Sept 19! It's going to be fun!

The good news is that the Front Porch has finally opened. They serve breakfast all day and open at 10 am. They're still working out the kinks but the food is great (so say the reviewer/knitters).

New yarns are arriving. We just received Trendsetter's Firefly yarn. This is a soft alpaca/wool blended chained yarn that is very soft and has just a bit of sparkle. We're going to be knitting a Cape and Loop from Lana Grossa's newest Look Book for fall/winter.

For those of who loved working with Lana Grossa's Lace Lux, it's back. There are great patterns on Ravelry but what comes to mind is the Vitamin D sweater. It would be gorgeous in this yarn.

We've got a great idea of what can be knitted with Kauni Effekt yarn. If you want a sweater with vertical stripes this sweater/pattern could be for you. When you stop by, just ask us.
