The yarns just keep coming. I just received the newest Kid Silk Haze from Rowan. This is Kaffe Fassetts version called Stripes.
These are color that only Kaffe can do. Of course the computer can't really show you how beautiful the colors really are, here is the LINK.
There is a free pattern in the yarn label that only uses one ball of the Stripes. Here is the LINK to the pattern.
All of the colors are in stock. And, with 460 yards/ball it will only take two for a shawl or one will do two Mobius Scarves (or one wide Mobius).

We're going to have a celebration in town tomorrow. It's The Plains Day.
Activities start at 9:30 am. Main street will shut down for the parade at 10ish. If you want to enjoy a fun and funny parade do get here early. There is parking behind the shop and that is where it would be best to park.
All street activities are over by noon but there are other activities in town until about 4 pm for you and children.

Don't forget the Porch Party tomorrow!
Remember, you can sit on the porch when it's raining and not get wet. Of course, you can sit inside too but with the porch - but who cares. It'll be fun. Probably NO motorcycles with the prospect of rain. It will be quiet and an enjoyable day.
See you tomorrow!

Whew! The shop has been busily stocking the shelves. Yarns ordered in June are finally arriving.
Eco Duo and Eco Cloud, a super soft baby alpaca and super fine merino wool yarn, is finally here. Eco Duo is a plied yarn in marled natural colors. Eco Cloud is a chained yarn in natural colors that have slight variations in color. Both are beautiful and soooo soft. This is what you WANT to wear. Remember, Cascade has free patterns on their web site.
For the lace knitters, Cascade has Kid Silk Noir. This is super soft kid mohair and silk blend with the tiniest bit of glitz. Just enough sparkle to make whatever you knit very special.
Swedish Yarns has Raggi. A plied wool blend that comes in solid and stripe/patterning colors. We have a great model of a modified kimono sweater and "Guest Socks". The socks will knit in a day. We've done them in holiday patterning colors. They're here for you to see.
Need a scarf in a hurry? Well, Dolce Vita is just what you need. A looped yarn that you finger chain into a scarf in less than three minutes. The scarf will be a hit anywhere you go.
Huge and colorful is a good way to describe Berroco's soft Link yarn. This yarn makes instant accessories. Link is a multi-colored chained yarn that is knit on size 35 or 50 needles. Berroco provides a pattern on the inside of the label and there is a free booklet that can be downloaded from their web site.
I've knitted the scarf that is shown on the label. Not being satisfied with knitting it as the pattern has been written, I tried a variation. You can see both ways of knitting the scarf. I'll explain how I did it. Those of you who know me know that I try to find the easiest way of doing something.
There's more good things arriving all of the time. Please do stop by so we can show you all of the new yarns and the projects that we're knitting with them.
Don't forget the Porch Party on September 24. We'll be enjoying the porch for the last time this season (as a group at least). Cookies and tea will be available. Please do come and enjoy the company and make new knitting friends.

I have been so busy receiving new items I haven't had a chance to post! Don't forget, I've scheduled a Porch Party for September 24, all day. We'll have scrumptious cookies and tea too!
OK, back to the new products I selected just for you. I've gotten in new sock yarns, lace yarns and sweater yarns. There is even a yarn named Solo 1 Minuto that lets you create a scarf "in a minute" (well, maybe in three minutes). And there is yet more to come; so check back often, because I've found some really great yarns for you to keep your knitting interesting.
We're also working on new models to make your choices easier. Please ask us to show you what we're currently knitting for the shop.
I also purchased some new needlepoint to entice. There are needlepoint bracelets (yes, bracelets), new belts and new Christmas ornaments.
In addition to needlepoint Christmas ornaments, I will have those wonderful knitted and beaded Christmas ornaments here at the shop as a trunk show. I will also be offering a class on knitting the beaded ornaments Saturday, October 1.
We've gotten in some new "Stitch 'n Zips" for your e-reader, and I even found leather covers for your iPads. You can stitch an insert and make the leather cover your very own or personalize one as that very special gift.

We had a great time over the Fourth of July weekend. The sit and knit was a big hit with everyone especially because of the great cookies by "Loaf-n-Around". The Hunters brought delicious mini cinnamon buns and Ms. Bowes brought her famous Deviled Eggs. Just heavenly.
Items are arriving all the time from my buying trip.
Finally, great circular knitting case from Namaste. They listened to what I had to say and made a carry case that works! They even include labels for the tabs you see in the pictures.
Circular needle organization is now a reality.
And, they've improved the Hermosa knitting bag. It's great as a knitting bag but makes a wonderful purse too. Lots of pockets outside and inside and with the Circular Case to match, what could be better?
Big Baby from Muench has arrived. This is a great marl yarn that also phases though colors. Yes, they do solid colors too. A baby blanket at 2.5 st/in knits fast and there are two sweater patterns that I think just hit the ticket when you need a baby sweater in a hurry. We have a sample of a Big Baby Feather & Fan blanket in the shop until mid August. Stop by and see this great yarn - it's just plain fun.
Of course you can knit an adult sweater using this yarn. And yes they have adult colors. Just ask to see the color card. We'll order what ever color you'd like.

Don't forget the sit-and-knit this Saturday and Sunday at the shop. Cookies and iced tea will be available to all who come. This is a great way to meet new knitters and needlepointers and just have a relaxing day. (Also a great day to get away from the chaos at home!) No beltway traffic out here.
Today is the first day of my July Anniversary Sale. Items change every week so you need to come at least every week to see what new has been placed on sale. Items are up to 50% off. A great way to stock up for Fall and Winter projects.
And to make matters worse, new yarns and needlepoint are arriving all the time!
So many decisions, and all weekend to make them.
