KNews at Knitting Today

If you had only one project to make for next year, which one would it be?  Every New Years, I try and start a new “big” project.  Of course, I haven’t completed the Wrap Me Up, which is taking me forever, but I am making progress so I find myself dreaming.  I have new lace weight yarn to try, new worsted weight yarn, several design ideas, help me make up my mind.  Link to pictures [preferably from Knittingtoday.com, but not necessary], projects, yarn, and tell me what you like most and why you would like to make it . . . . Overwhelm me!  Like I really need to be overwhelmed, but hey, maybe it’ll make me focus.  Lea-Ann

P.S.  I added the “giveaway” designation as I have an incredible Della Q goodie bag of “knitterly stuff” to give to some wonderful poster and we’ll choose January 2. 

As announced in the Knitting Today E-news (sign up at http://knittingtoday.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/list/ktnews/ if you don’t receive it!), to celebrate our new yarn, we’re having a contest!  Tell us why you love knitting with wool and be entered in our Shepherd’s Wool giveaway for one of the Andean-Style Caps shown below!  Contest ends September 30, so don’t delay.

Don’t worry, if you don’t win the contest, the kits will be available for purchase shortly. 

The Boot Camp Trunk Show is on its way. The event starts Friday evening at our Monthly UFO Pizza Night, 6:30 (registration required, seats are limited). Call 260-351-2260 to register.

Throughout the week, we’ll have giveaways for sock patterns, door prizes, classes to get you started, and a special surprise ending the event on Saturday, January 19. More info to come . . . Lea-Ann

P.S. Post a comment with your favorite sock knitting pattern and yarn brand and we’ll pull a name out of the list on January 19 to win a free ball of Tofutsies sock yarn.

Added 1/8/2008:  The new colors of Tofutsies should be arriving on Monday, unfortunately.  I was hoping they would be here Saturday.  Look for an announcement here when they arrive.  The trunk show, however, is still on schedule to be here for Friday evening.

Hi . . . we unboxed, received, and tagged the Noro Sock Yarn — incredible stuff!! I think Color 95 might be my favorite . . . .
