Glamorous in Pink

Beautiful..Glamorous..Simply Pretty in Pink. The must be knitted project of the summer. Jan Metzner, knitting extraordinaire of about 1 year made this gorgeous sweater. A Gedifra pattern, knitted in Cotton Classic looks perfect alone or can be dressed up under a blazer this fall. Check out the incredible stitching for the mock turtleneck and the colorful I-cord straps on the shoulder. Wonderful job Jan! (applause to our lovely store model as well)

Enjoy the 4th

Just a reminder, there is no KAL on Friday June 30th, and we will be closed on Tuesday July 4th.

What? Is that the Sun?

Welcome Back!

Time to dry out!

Manos Night KAL

Great crowd tonight even with the downpour. Just protect the knitting project under the umbrella. This picture can be your motivation for how your finished project will look.

Surprise! Surprise!

More long lost friends showing up on a slow Saturday. Welcome back Pam! We have missed you! Jan M. is almost done her hot pink Cotton Classic top. It has an awesome neckline. Anyone know how to P5TOG? It's called a bramble stitch. Jan will be glad to share the trick she learned doing this stitch. And now we know it's going to snow in June, Susan N. popped in, did a quick Pilates demo, and is back to work on her Santana tank.

Happy Knitting!

Entrelac Progress KAL nite #2

It looks like everyone has the hang of it...Keep making those diamonds. Thanks for the lemonade, Maggie.

Summer Must Have

Calling all crocheters and wannabees. We have found the summer bag. Made with Crystal Palace chenille and deco ribbon. Maggie has one started in pink and greens (very Lily), and Becky in orange and green (melon and kiwi). The bag is single crocheted and finished off with a plastic or bamboo handle. Come in and check out the pattern.

Great to see so many making progress on the entrelac bags. It is fun, once you get going. Great choice of color, Patti!

Happy Knitting!

We're gonna miss "Ewe"

Rosemarie has left the building! We wish her a fond farewell, all the best Georgia has to offer and godspeed. She was a trememdous help picking out colors and loved putting together textures. Yes, we are going to miss you!!

Friday also started our next KAL - the entrelac bag. Joining us were the usual gang - Patsy, Cindy, Judy, Amy, Joan (come earlier, and you'll get to sit in the rocker) and some first timers like Angela, Jan, Becky, Alice, Susan. This is a fun bag once you figure out the pattern, and knowing it will be felted allows for worry free knitting.

The weather will be hot this week, come in for some cool knitting!

One Stitch Wonder

Bit of a quiet Saturday, but Susan the self proclaimed "One Stitch Wonder" stopped by and got everyone laughing. One day Susan, your turn will come. Faith was in and brought along a newbie, Leigh. Amy put the finishing touches on an absolutely fabulous baby sweater. Great job, Amy! It is now on display in the shop. Laura worked up a shawl/shoulder wrap combining Wool in the Woods Feelin' Fuzzy and Harmony in colorway "Thief in the Night". One hank of each, size 19 needles, cast on 40 and increase at the beginning of each row.
Ahead this week, we say good bye to our beloved Rosemarie, as she prepares to pack up and move even further south. Her last day is Friday, so try to stop by and wish her the best. Also Friday is the first night of Entrelac KAL. Another big group is planned, and if you haven't finished our summer tee, no problem, join us and we'll get you finished!
Happy Knitting!

Super Saturday

Such a busy day, and so many familiar faces stopping in. Great to see Jan again, and the good news her husband is home safe and sound. Robbyn got back to work on her fair isle. Yes, brown is boring, but the fun is just around the corner. Word is Karen had a wonderful Entrelac class last week, and looks like everyone is gearing up to do those entrelac felted bags. Just one more week on the Summer Tee KAL, then on to the bag starting on June 16th. Garther up your scraps, or start fresh. Maggie is using Manos, Laura is using Donegal Tweed. Rosemarie has a sample done with Kureyon. Other samples in the store are done with Lopi and Cascade 220. Lots of choices.
