NEWS FLASH!

Our great yarn rep, Josie, just brought us a huge consignment of Zen Yarn Garden Serenity 20. And, to make it even better she dropped off their newest yarn Super Fine Fingering!

It's only here for a short while ( I will ask for a couple of days next week - but no promises). So if you snooze you'll loose.

Just arrived! Zen Yarn Garden Serenity 20 in 6 colors. Three of them match the Color Affection Shawl store sample but all 6 colors would work for this pattern and many other patterns. Have fun mixing and matching!

Many of you have been waiting for the custom dyed order to arrive so "Thank you" for you your patience.

I am working on a Lana Grossa garment right now and sewing up the sleeves on the Penta Cardigan. I will be starting Stephen West's, Dotted Rays shawl using Kauni in 12 solids. Ask to see the colors that I've chosen. This was the inspiration:

Calendar Reminder!

PORCH PARTY May 23 All Day

5 March 2014

Old man Winter just doesn't seem to want to relent but the first day of Spring is March 20 so mark your calendar.

We are all tired of snow and ice and the single digit temperatures. Soon they will be a thing of the past and we can look forward to daffodils and cherry blossoms. Something to look forward to.

If you have cabin fever, all of the roads here are clear and dry. Plenty of snow free parking and the lot in back will be a bit muddy but should be clear (mostly) by the end of the day.

I've finished the Rockefeller shawlette by Stephen West and have it on display in the shop. It was an easy knit and can be knit out of any fingering weight or lace weight yarn. I used Saki by Prism Arts but Serenity 20 by Zen Yarn Garden would work well. You could even work this in a sport weight yarn, wool or cotton, and have a great success. The sport weight would slightly increase the size.

This pattern is available on Ravelry, Stephen West,  Pattern: Rockefeller.

See you soon and of course you can try this on.
