What's New: 11.18.09

In one week we will all be cooking and getting ready to spend some quality time with family and friends. I hope to catch up on gossip and "what's new" and hopefully have some great time to sit around and knit. I know I am more attentive when I knit, so therefore I KNIT.

What's New?

The model finnally arrived knit in Araucania Panguipulli.

This hand dyed merino has rich shading and boasts 193 yards. One skein makes an amazing scarf, but I love this great sweater from Jenny Watson #3 which makes up in as few as 5 skeins.

I ordered a small amount of Mongolian Cashmere for the holidays. It is $30 for 200 yards of DK weight yarn. It is wonderful to the touch and will make a wonderful gift for that special someone. Try it with the One Row Lace scarf from "Give me a Purl" Or "Elbac" From Knitty.com

Raggi sock yarn has been restocked with new colors and solids. The box with the Christmas colors arrived today. Think quick to knit booty socks for our cold Minnesota winters.

365 Knitting OR 365 Crochet Stitches has been restocked. This is a great gift or stocking stuffer.

Namaste Order: I am finalizing a new order for the great Namaste bags: Call the store if you want us to order something special for you.

Rosewood Interchangeable Needles are restocked as are the newly packaged Addi Clicks.
