Hi Folks

If you missed the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival all is not lost.

I have brought the show to the shop. I will have it here for a short time. The best news is that it will be 10% off the show price.

So this would be the time to get a deal on Prism, Mountain Colors and Manos. You  don't want to miss out on the deal.

Call the shop for details.........

I guess that I missed Winter, but, maybe not really. Okay, just kidding.

We got in the first batch of school color Footprints 'Team Colors' sock yarn. We have in stock UVA and West Point. We can get most any college but those were the first requests and we finally got them.

So, if you're a sock knitter and are willing to knit a pair of school color socks for yourself or for a special someone, we can help you. Just ask.

It's finally here! The long awaited for revised edition of The Principles of Knitting.

This book was first published in the 80's and was sold out quickly. As little as a year ago it was selling for hundreds of dollars on ebay.

This revised edition has pictures of the knitting techniques instead of drawings, much easier to understand. This is not a pattern book but a book about technique - one of the ultimate reference books that you will ever own. I cannot imaging any knitter not having this book on their bookshelf.
