about my Bias Shawl.
When these kits came in at the beginning of the summer, we sold half almost immediately. I picked one up myself because I couldn’t resist, and I am so thrilled with the result. Soft, cozy and sophisticated, this goes with everything in my wardrobe (okay, so I mostly wear black). The yarn is a treat too!
Check out the irresistible original packaging: looks like a challah loaf! deeelish!

We get a lot of requests for beginners classes, both crochet and knitting but it’s tricky coordinating everyone’s busy schedules. Soooo, we revamped the beginners classes making it easier for everyone to learn their chosen craft. Meanwhile if you’re comfy on the couch and prefer teaching yourself, check out this free e-book from Crochet Me.

Happy Mothers Day everyone~my Mom taught me to knit so I will be thinking of her as I often do when I knit, but even more so on Mother’s Day: we are open 12-3 if you wanna come sit and knit for a little while too.
Relax, enjoy and eat bon bons. Or in this case knit them: pictured here, Bon Bon Shawl, a Christel Seyfarth kit (available by special order) with 16 yummy colors, super stranding and steeking, and the most delicous result imagineable.
Sweet!

This was not me today: basking in a dreamy slumber. I went to bed late and woke early all because of my latest project. I’ve been working on a stranded project that requires steeking. Very little by way of a pattern and several false starts later I fnally got a rhythm going and I *think* I’m doing it right. (Do you know how cumbersome it is to rip out stranded knitting–and rip I did, quite a few times). It’s the colors and the final product that have me in a compulsive knitting frenzy but after all that knitterly effort I am much inspired by this photo. Time to put the needles down for a bit.
Another day I shall knit again.
