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!
