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.

Charity Project for this Fall/Winter

As hot as it has been the past couple of days, it's hard to believe it will ever be cool again. But school starts in 3 weeks, and winter is just around the corner after that. For the last 3 winters we have been collecting handmade hats for the homeless in our county and Baltimore City. This year we have decided to concentrate on children. We would like to ask each customer to make one hat for a needy child. We have arrangements for them to be distributed to the elementary schools in our county. One ball of Cascade 220 or Encore will make 2 hats. Use up your scraps and go crazy with stripes, learn a new stitch, try some cables or intarsia. We have lots of patterns in the shop, or use an old favorite.
We all know knitters are the most generous crafters around! And won't it be nice to make something for someone who will really appreciate it! Keep track on the sidebar as our numbers grow.
Thanks from the Staff of Ewenique Yarns.
