Project Ideas

October 27th, 2008 by admin

We’ve been busy knitting new projects to display around the shop.  Come on in and check these out:

 

 This chic little neck warmer is a quick knit with a lot of pizzazz.  From a pattern in One Skein Wonders, this was knit with Karabella Aurora 8 worsted on a size 7 needle.  Add the button of your choice to customize to your tastes.  We have lots of the Aurora 8 colors to choose from, so you can make one for all the girls in the family.

 

 

There’s no need to spend big $$ to carry a one-of-a-kind purse.  Just knit one yourself!  This beauty was knit out of two skeins of Cascade on a size US 13 needle, and then felted.  You can embellish with flowers like the ones seen here, or add your own touch.  With over 30 colorways of Cascade 220 in the store, you’ll have no problem finding your favorite color. 

 

 

 

New baby in the family?  Here’s an all-in-one project sure to delight any new mother.  This sweater comes in kit form with 1 skein of yarn, two patterns and three adorable buttons.

Made in Michigan

October 20th, 2008 by admin

Check out this lovely new 100% wool yarn in worsted weight that comes from our own state of Michigan!  Shepard’s Wool comes from Stonehedge Fiber Mill in East Jordan.  We are all taking turns petting these skeins because we can’t believe how soft it is. 

 

 

We have stocked several colors, and can’t decide which one is our favorite.  The sweater you make with the yarn will quickly become your favorite.

A walk in the mountains

October 17th, 2008 by admin

We were excited to open the box from Mountain Colors and see these lovely Bearfoot sock yarns.  With names like Ruby River, alpine, Moondance, Bitterroot Rainbow, and Tamarack, you’ll feel like you’ve taken a trip to the Rocky Mountains.

Bearfoot is a combination of superwash wool, mohair and nylon.  It is machine washable in cool water.  Once you fondle it, you won’t want to let it go.

 

 

PS.  We also sell the baskets.
