What's New: 7.19.11

Our UPS guy is beginning to dread our stop.

Why? Because it's RAINY or HOT!

Not

Because he has so many boxes to drop at our shop.

And, we can't wait to rip open each box at the top.

That's the end of my poetic prose - I think you all get the idea - LOTS OF BOXES ARE NOW ARRIVING EACH DAY AT THE SHOP.  Stop in often to grab the latest in yarns, notions, books magazines, bags, needles and more.

Clearance LOFT remains full of 30% OFF Yarn

A large order of Malabrigo Rasta, Rios and Sock Yarn is here! 

Dream Starry is here in NEW colors from Dream In Color-Wow

Patterns are Here & Fleece Artist yarns are due to arrive Friday.

Freebies & Resources

Love this lace and bead cowl: Jeweled Cowl by Sachiko Uemura. A fun knit on a hot summer day with lace weight yarn and good sized needles. This would look fantastic without beads using one of the new skeins of Starry from Dream in Color.

Love this Leafy Washcloth which can be knit in dk or worsted weight cotton.  

Want to practice making mittens before Fall arrives? Try the free bath mitt pattern using Fantasy Naturale.  A great gift for that college freshman to take to the dorm.  Only takes 1 skein of yarn.

What's New

Kinetic Yarn from Trendsetterarrived.  Unique woven tape-like but not a tape will make interesting accessories and can be knit on big needles.  I see a wonderful cowl for fall when the weather gets cool again.

Knit Clips are back and IN-stock - It's only been a year since they have been available.  Best gadget for finishing in the last decade.

New bags from Atenti - Wow and selling fast. These striking bags always get a positive response. We have brochures for special orders if you see something we don't have in stock.

Gorgeous new shawl pins are in the shop.
