A Special Knit Night

We had a wonderful "Nancy's Knit Night" last Friday! Lots of people came to knit (and munch on some goodies) in her honor:







Laurel brought some of Nancy's stash and, with this, we raised a nice amount of donations for The American Cancer Society and Wiawaka Holiday House to be given in Nancy's name:







Robin put together a great slide show on her computer, with pictures of Nancy at the shop and at Wiawaka:








And here are Christine and Sally with their version of no-knit cowls with some of Nancy's yarn!:



Gorgeous!

It was a really nice night and a great way to remember Nancy.





The next day, we had another Drop Spindle 101 class. Here they are, spinning away:






And here they are with their finished skeins:




More drop spindle classes are scheduled for May and June if you are interested. It's a great way to get introduced to spinning. And drop spindling is a portable/affordable obsession (I mean, hobby).





Customer Show and Tell:

Christina's first-ever non-rectangular-or-square project! This beautiful triangle prayer shawl made with Ecore in a drifting colorway:

Karyn's beautiful "Helleborus Yoke" sweater from the most recent KnitScene:

And her wonderful entrelac scarf made with the now-discontinued Nature Wool Multy:
