The path to my desk

is blocked by boxes. It makes it a little hard to do desk work. But look what is in that box…new colors of encore tweed!

Knitting Pure & Simple

I cannot believe how long it’s been since I’ve posted!  How does time go by so quickly?  Remember when you were a kid and a hot summer afternoon seemed to drag on forever?  I can very clearly remember (I was probably 8 - 12 years old at the time) climbing the tree outside my bedroom window where I [...]

what to knit on a quick trip

it was a hard choice, socks or something new? when the box arrived, i knew it would be something new. yep, it is half crepe from mountain colors and I’m making a one skein shawl. easy, lovely colors, nice drape. If Susan doesn’t have the other colors online yet, she will [...]

WHERE WERE YOU?!?!?!?!?!

We had customers this morning, but it died down from 11 to 2! Where were you???? Since we had no one, I got to print and staple and fold Knitting Today News. Now, the printer is jammed or the toner hates me or something is going on.  AND!!!!!!!!!! I got the biggest paper cut. Well, [...]

They're heeere...

The 5″ tips for the HiyaHiya Interchangeables, not a poltergeist.  They’ve been here for a few weeks, to tell the truth, but I wanted to give them a good test run before posting about them. I’ve been using the 4″ tips and thought I loved them. But apparently it was just a crush because when [...]

An Old Flame and a New Love

We have just gotten new stock (and re-stocked a few colors) of Galway Worsted and I am reminded once again of how much I like this yarn. There is definitely a place in my knitting for the lofty, super-soft merinos such as Shepherd’s Wool, but Galway is what I want when I desire something a [...]

One little bundle

makes the cutest things.  That’s right, just one skein makes a baby sweater:

One skein is 396 yards of yarn and its only $13.95.  Choose to knit either pattern, the polo pullover shown above or a v-neck cardigan and yes, the ball of yarn includes the pattern and buttons!  You might want to pick up another ball and make [...]

the speedy knitter . . .

So, Lyn has been a knitting speed demon and has knit two, count them, two Eyelet Cardi samples for the shop.  One is done in Tatamy Tweed DK and the other in Zealana’s Kauri, a yarn we’ll be introducing in our booth at Stitches Midwest in about ten days.  Here’s a picture of Tara wearing [...]

sometimes things go missing – Shepherd’s Wool Fingering

I was just on ravelry updating my queue and wanted to upload my stash of Shepherd’s Wool fingering.  Since I don’t have a digital camera at home, I thought I’d swipe the photos off of my website.  Lo and behold, there were only 14 colors listed of the Shepherd’s Wool Fingering – woah!  I know [...]
