What's New: 10.21.09

The weather is giving all of us lots of knitting time so I hope you are all busy knitting for yourself or for that special someone. Holiday gift time will be here in a nanosecond.

65 days and counting to Christmas and even less (only 52 days) to Hannukkah/Chanukah.

The shop is loaded with quick to knit gift ideas and I have ordered TONS of books to help you get INSPIRED. So whether you chose to knit from you stash and just need inspiration from a pattern or a book OR if you want to knit on some of the NEW and WONDERFUL Fall yarn, WE CAN HELP.

Join us this Sunday for our First Annual HOLIDAY GIFTS INSPIRATION EVENT

Sunday October 25 ~ 12-4 pm

The shop will be full of samples that are quick and easy to knit and make ideal gifts. We will fill the air with holiday music and have some great holiday treats to share.

Tunisian Crochet Demonstration 1-3 pm This is the quickest crochet I have ever seen! Check out patterns and instructions at stitchdiva.com.

Upcoming Classes with Openings:

Basic Mittens on double pointed needles: Sunday, October 25; 12-2 pm

Knit with an Expert: Sunday, October 25 - 2-4 pm

Socks on 2 Circular Needles starts Thursday, October 29. I love this method of sock knitting because I hate working on double pointed needles!

What's New?

Check out some of the books that arrived this week.

Lots of new sock books arrived as well.

The new Jenny Watson Araucania 3 book arrived and it has great designs to compliment their great yarns this season: Azapa, Coliumo, Panguipulli, Itata and more. Stop in for a fiber fix and pet the new yarns.

New Magazines are HERE! Check out our ad!

Even the new book from Nicky Epstein "Knitting a Kiss in Every Stitch" is full of great, yet quick to knit gift projects.
