24 August 2011
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.

Well, hello. I've been quiet again because I have been busily working on finding new and fun items for the shop. I am in Columbus, Ohio right now at the Fall trade show.
I was at the fashion show watching for the new trends in yarns - and I will have these in the shop. Varigated yarns are still the rage with long repeats of color being the "thing". They even have gorgeous varigated tweed - in long repeats!
I found some great project bags, including della Q (for those of you who've asked). And, I have found a solution for circular needles that I think is great. Just you wait and see.
Not all of these finds are available right now so they will be arriving as soon as they are ready. Yes, you will have to wait just like me. Oh the wait will be painful but rewarding in the end!

We all arrived back safely and the cruise was efficient in getting us off the ship and through customs quickly.
All agreed that this is what cruising is all about. On the pool deck in a chaise, pedicure, knitting in hand and drink on the side. What more could be asked for?
I will post more photos on the website as soon as I have time - I promise.
