Fall is Here!


Please excuse our lack of postings. We have been busy knitting on fall projects, teaching new knitters, getting in new yarn! Fall is here for good, and Christmas and the holidays are just around the corner. We have all the latest issues of Interweave, Knitters and Vogue. These magazines are overloaded with ideas for sweaters, scarves, socks, felting and more! And if that's not enough, Interweave has a special issue dedicated just to the holiday knitter!

That's a love of knitting...or is it???

Sisters Sweaters


Carolyn B. made these adorable sweaters for her granddaughters. She borrowed from an old pattern and reworked the sizes for her growing girls.

Great Job!

The Cable Challenge KAL started on Friday night with a few new faces. Welcome to Nancy, Kathy, Kelly, Carol our new KAL'ers and welcome back our regulars - Cindy, Judy, Amy, Cathy.
We now have 5 new AbFab kits from Unique Kolors. See our store sample, it's an incredible afghan done with 8 yarns - mohair, ribbon, wool and chenille. Makes a great Christmas present.

Zig Zag


Another beautiful sweater. Janis stumbled upon this pattern while leafing thru Rowan Magazine Number 27. Knit in Sierra (cotton/wool blend), this timeless sweater "Jefferson" was designed by Kim Hargreaves. The simple combination of knits and purls creates the lovely zig zag effect.

Great work, Janis!

more finshed projects!

Robbyn has completed her Manos block of the month afghan, it truly is beautiful. Amy, Robbyn and Maggie put the fringe on Friday afternoon for a photo op. Robbyn is now back to her Fair Isle with a goal to finish in October. Robbyn is a new knitter, taking her first class in December. Way to go Robbyn!
Joan, one of our long time knitters has finshed her Judith, Long and Short of it. She used Seirra and the color is a soft peach/coral. The cropped sleeves look great and perfect for the upcoming fall weather. Wonderful job Joan.

First Sweater


Debbie has completed her first sweater, a beautiful top down raglan she knit for her husband. A man's sweater is a daunting challenge, the size is much larger than other sweaters we knit. Debbie has done a wonderful job!

In other news lots of swatches are on display for the cable knit along, starts Sept. 15.

The sock club is building so don't forget to sign up. For those out of towners that are reading this blog, you are invited to join as well. These items are shipped as part of the membership fee so all orders are welcome.

The finishing touches were put on the newsletter last night so look for that in the near future. The class list is also now posted on the website

Keep dry and safe this weekend!

Another great finished project


What a beautiful sweater finished by Kathy J. and modeled by the divine Ms. M (who is this lady???).

Congrats to all who placed at the State Fair.

So many new yarns have come in recently it is overload at the store. Bel Air knitters will be the best dressed this winter.

Long holiday weekend coming up with some great weather so make sure to get stocked up on the yarn for your projects.

Also don't forget to read the Book of the Month for discussion Monday Sept. 25, Manos Night.

Knitter's Night

Last night was one of the busiest Needle Exchanges I've seen in long time. All the regulars where there as well as some faces we haven't seen in awhile. Pat showed off her beautiful cardigan, makes you want to beg for winter doesn't it. Great job!

The cable challenge pattern was passed around and the variety of yarn choice for this knit-along is vast! It starts Sept 15.
Everyone was buzzing about socks. It seemed like everyone was knitting them on doubles, circulars, magic loop. Angela just finished sock class so she working on finishing her first pair. Nancy has completed her first pair of socks..she graciously modeled them for us. Wonderful job Nancy.
And now the info on the sock club. The idea is that every 2 months those that join the club will get yarn for a pair of socks and a pattern. Some of the yarn you have already seen at some point in the shop but there have been many new arrivals for this season. You can knit the socks anyway you want, you don't have to follow the pattern and you can chose your own needles (magic loop, circs, or doubles). The membership fee is $75 for six months or pay $150 for the year. The package will be delivered to your door and the surprise will have the fun. The other half is the finshed sock of course. The first installment for the club is mid Septemeber so hurry up and call or email the shop to sign up.

Still More New Stuff



If you have been by in the past few days, you may have noticed there is not much floor space. More fall yarns have arrived and we are busy finding shelf space. The new classes are up on the website. Take a look. Think about joining our sock club and cable challenge KAL. Your newsletter will soon follow. Make sure we have your email address so you can stay up to date.

exchange time

What a busy summer, so many people on vacation that stories from your favorite yarn shop have been slow coming. Maggie is back from baseball and the beach, Laura has been busy running the show and Debbie is still enjoying a few days of vaction.

Needle exhachange Thursday night was filled with vacation stories and plans for kids to go back to school. Which means time for us all to take some classes. The shop has been busy setting up a great fall line up of classes with more sock classes and some fun knit-alongs. A Finshing Friday is in the works and a Cable Challenge (don't you love the alliteration!). The idea of a sock club is being tossed around too. Post a comment if that's something you'd like to hear more about.

Take a look at Linda's beautiful lace shawl..done in Zepher. It is going to be a lovely present.

It's all in the details
This is a wonderful toe up lace sock done on the magic loop. Meg did 2 socks at one time on the magic loop. Take Karen's Step up Socks and you too can bring some magic to your socks!
Don't forget about next Thursday Needle Exchange, school starts just after so it will be the last night without homework and permission slips. There is no Manos Monday in August so all you manos knitters bring your project in next Thursday at 7 for food, fun and festivity.
