The shop received new pattern books. We either have the yarns used in these books or they will be coming in soon.

This morning I talked my husband Carl into modeling my finished, but not blocked, Decemberist shawl. I used 4 skeins of Baby Llama Chunky (around 400 yards) on size 11 needles. Because I wanted a larger shawl I used 23 repeats for section 1 (149 stitches) and did two times the lace section. This worked out nicely, except I had to improvise on the edges of the lace pattern.
And here are Ceil, Sheila and Anita working on their Decemberist shawls during Sunday afternoons knit-along. Looking good Ladies!

Susan Hoffman just finished seaming this
beautiful cable baby sweater done in Encore Worsted. The pattern
is Aaron's Aran Sweater and available on Ravelry. A job well done!

Customer Show and Tell:
Lisa Tomaszek made some more necklaces after taking Lisa's jewelry class at the shop. All are made using alpaca yarn and lots of beads. Aren’t they pretty?
Here is Mary Lou Varga and her teddy bear friends, all dressed for March. She made clothes for February, March and April. The bears and clothes were made from Ella Rae Cozy Soft found in the Spinning Room. Oh, so cute!
Look at my first hat! Knitted in Malabrigo Merino worsted for my hubby, the color is hummingbird. Spending time in the Spinning Room works says Kathy Miller. By the way, the pattern is called Turn A Square by Jared Flood and it is free on Ravelry.

Dear Customers,
As Lisa told you in our newsletter, we want to show off your finished projects in our blog. So, if you would like to see your works presented to the knitting community, please stop at the store and ask the ‘shop girl’ to take a picture of it. And please, do not forget to tell us the name of the pattern and maybe the yarn you used.

Here is one of the reversible hats you can make after you take Intro to Double Knitting with Iryth. It was made using 1 skein of 2 contrasting colors of Elysian by Cascade (219 yds). It was a challenging knit but well worth the effort with only a few errors that only I know 😉. It is a washable yarn, but softer than I liked, might suggest the use of regular wool for this project for a denser knit hat. Now I am on to try the geometric hat, wish me luck!! Kathy

Well, after a long absence, we have something to post about. Last Wednesday, our first set of sock circles finished up. They were a YEAR, yes...a YEAR! in the making but they all came out great. Thanks to Lisa and Robin for organizing.
Waiting for the big reveal!
The Green circle.
The Red circle.
And the Purple circle. Mine are the second from the left. I LOVE them.
They fit!!!
Robin with Deborah's sock.
And on top of the big sock circle reveal, we also had the end to our Christmas in July(and August) knit along. Some of us finished up one (or more) holiday gift!
Jackie and her Ombra Cowl
Sue's beautiful shawl. Sorry...not sure of the pattern here.

A long time coming
How cool is this picture that Christine took??
Well...I know you've all been waiting for something here since August. And, I really don't have too much to write at the beginning of 2013. But, I do have all the pictures taken at the shop since August loaded up on Flickr. So, follow this link and you can see a slideshow of the pictures. Enjoy!
