New March category- finally

Wow, it’s been a very long time since my last post.  Not because I’ve been slacking, though.  And, since we DID get the big snow and I DID get to snuggle in for a few days I haven’t been pouting, either.  Just been incredibly busy.   No Penny means that I am stocking and working the [...]

spring fever? summer tops?

its coming, spring that is, and i am itching to clean and organize and start more new projects. not a good thing for someone who has 26 projects on their list! can we say overwhelmed? i know, its time for another to ten list….I’ll get to that as I organize later.   Right now, though, a [...]

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 [...]

Starry is here!

I just (and I mean JUST) finished checking in Starry, the newest from Dream in Color.  The base of this sock weight yarn is Smooshy; so you know it is… well, smooshy and because it is Dream in Color you know the colors are fabulous.  I can see shawls and scarves in this, maybe a [...]

No, she isn’t an employee, but is a valuable part of our teaching team and she was teaching [...]

Its not my hand in the box . . .

ROFL — anyone who has been in the store knows that if someone is looking for something and its in the box in the back, I don’t hesitate to open it and let them go through the box.  But, one time, Susan was in the middle of inventory and when I opened a particular box, [...]

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 [...]

I promise I’ll wash them . . .

before I put them back on display <ewwhhh>, but I couldn’t help myself.  My feet were COLD this morning and I don’t have a pair of socks at home to wear since they are all at the store so I swiped a pair off the display!  Here they are:

 

And, on the foot, in the shoe:

And, [...]

I LOVE merino

. . . and when its lace weight and colorful, I love it all over again.  But, throw in the word “superwash” . . . oh my, someone throw the cold water on me and pick me up off the floor.  This stuff is BEAUTIFUL!  What is it, you ask?  Why its “Ella Rae Lace [...]

I’m still working…..

Diligently working- even during Penny’s open house! I am slowly plowing my way through the boxes in the office. Problem is that boxes are being added faster than I can get through them. I have, however, uncovered a few gems for you.

Don’t you love it when you get first shot at something very new? You [...]
