Beginning Knitting & Crochet Classes

We had great turnouts for our first classes! Our students did a great job with their projects, and the crocheter's scarves just flew off their hooks. Congratulations everyone!

Amanda is on the ball, making her family hats for Christmas. This one is made on #7 needles with GGH Bel Air. She embroidered little flowers on it later with GGH Soft Kid. Most lusciously soft!

Louisa Harding hat

Check out what MaryBeth made! She used the Gathering Roses Accessories book, and 1 ball of the Impressions yarn. Isn't it gorgeous....mmmm.

Stitch Therapy Night!

New GGH Yarn

We have a few brand new yarns in! We've received Maya, Contiki, and Alexa, all new Fall yarn from GGH/Muench. We also carry many colors of my new fav, Bel Air.

Here's the yarn that was used to make the scarf. 2 balls of the Kathmandu, and 2 of the ruffle tape.

Ruffles

We have ruffle tape (yarn)!Come and check out the many colors and pattern book. One of our customers became hooked on this yarn, and brought this in to share.

Noro again...

Well, I am a bit obessed with Noro, so I have to share this with ya'll. October is my birthday and since I love all Noro, I decided to share a little love. For the month of October, all Noro is 10% off. I have 13 colors of Kureyon, with a few more coming in. Do I hear Lizard Ridge Afgan squares calling me? Check it out in the new Fall issue of Knitty.com. Then come check us out!

Adorn your knitting!

Ooh la la! Look at what we have in....gorgeous! These stitch markers are all made of jewelry grade materials. We have sterling silver, Swarovski crystals, & freshwater pearls. They range in price from $7 to $20. These make great gifts too!

Blue Sky Alpaca & Silk

Show & Tell time! This Mandarin color is so luscious, that two of our customers worked it up into gorgeous projects. There is the one skein baby booties & hat set, knitted for one pampered baby (forgot to get specs.), and the crocheted scarf. The scarf is a Blue Sky pattern, made with 2 hanks and a F/5 hook.

This little piggy went to market...

Piggies!! My 4 year old came to work one Saturday and checked out all the pattern books. Later, unbenownst to me, he was telling family & friends that I was making him pig slippers. A couple of weeks ago my DH asked when I was finishing them. ??!! Well, I knitted like a maniac, and here they are. I used Brown Sheep Bulky, #13 needles, and used the pattern from Melissa Mathay's Volume 1, Babies to Toddlers project card book.

Noro....umm!

I was informed it has been two weeks since my last post! So sorry....I've been stocking, pricing, & moving yarn with time for little else. We received a HUGE shipment of yarn at one time. Now the store is looking full! :) For all you Noro fans, we have LOTS of Kureyon, Silk Garden, Blossom, Kochoran, and Cash Iroha. For the Alpaca addicts, we have Blue Sky Alpaca, Atacama, and some Elsebeth Lavold Classic & Chunky AL. Come in and fondle the new fiber!

Be Sweet Yarn

We have Be Sweet Magic Balls & the African Beaded Balls. So many colors to choose from. One Magic Ball skein will make a gorgeous scarf. Check out this fun & fabulous yarn with a conscience. Be Sweet has programs in South Africa to help empower women, and donates a portion of their profits to the local Shaw Park school. Read more about them at www.besweetproducts.com.

GGH Soft Kid

Yummy...this is the softest mohair I've ever snuggled. There are lots of patterns in the new Rebecca magazine.
