Cookie A

Cookie A patterns (individually) have been in the shop for a couple weeks. And today, the wonderfully informative book arrived. Guess we can all start using up the sock yarn :)

Knitting Nights, New Samples and New Yarn

Our knitting nights have been fabulous...Stay tuned for more dates.

We have several new samples in the shop lately... My Berroco Peruvia Quick, Nimbus project moved along so fast. I added 3 inches to the total length, now I cannot wait to find the perfect button...it also only took 5 skeins of yarn.


I also finished the wonderful "sock yarn" tshirt. It is actually the tofutsie tee, and it was also relatively quick (although ripping always adds a fair amount of time :)) This t-shirt is long and will look fabulous with jeans, shorts, white pants, khakis.... There are so many yarn options to choose from, come in for a quick peek. The pattern is available for free from Mary Lynn's Yarn Garden with yarn purchase.
There are so many new knitting pattern books...they are brimming with new ideas. They have been so popular that we have already had to reorder. Just in on Friday, 3 more new Lang pattern books.
Berroco has been sending a steady stream of yarn, the latest arrived on Friday. A lot of new sock yarn, Comfort Chunky, Comfort DK, Comfort, Touche, and Pure Pima. I currently have a new Touche and Pure Pima project on the needles, so stay tuned for their arrival at the shop.
Tahki Cotton Classic has also had a considerable number of new colors added to our collection. There is also the new Ambee Babies collection.
If you haven't been up to "The Garden" in awhile - things are starting to bloom.
