Olympic Knitting:  Are you knitting during the Olympics?   Friday night, August 8, 2008, is the start and we are gathering at Knitting Today starting at 6:30 to enjoy. RSVP please, bring your UFO or new Olympic project and we’ll get going.  

TofuTee:  We also have the TofuTee Trunk Show in the store and that will be the last time to come and see it before it is shipped on to the next venue.  The TofuTee is a great pattern, knit sideways, uses 5 balls of the Tofutsies yarn and we have 15 new colors as well as several from the old collections in stock . . . .

Sometimes it takes a while for the correct elements to come together.  Do you know what I mean?  I’ve had my eye on the 2nd Time Cotton for a long, long time and absolutely refused to get rid of it because I just knew the perfect project would come along.  Well, Helene Rush the owner of Knit One, Crochet Too has done it.  She designed “hey, Teach!” for knitty.com.  The best thing about the pattern is it is upsized 55″ and I can’t believe it wouldn’t look good on anyone.  The pattern can be found here:

And, it is designed for 2nd Time Cotton, which can be ordered here:
