Anyone who has stopped by the shop over the past few days knows that we got a ginormous shipment of Cascade. The Cascade wall is replenished with many vibrant colors including those for your holiday knitting in both 220 and 220 Superwash:
The 220 Tweed that sold out so quickly is back-
Along with the wildly popular Eco Wool-
When I met with the sales rep, I had my order all planned out, knew just what I wanted, and was sure that I wouldn't be distracted. Ha! By now, I should know better.
He tempted me with this:
That would be Eco Alpaca. 220 yds per skein of luscious, undyed, worsted weight baby alpaca. Oh. My. God. It is insanely soft. I almost fell over. I get weak in the knees every time I touch it. Now I am in search of the perfect pattern, because I MUST knit with this.
Speaking of knitting... David finished his piratey hat -
How cool is that? Awesome work David! He used Jo Sharp's DK Wool, and skipped the lining as the stranding work makes it plenty warm all on its own.
Huge cheers for Jerri who finished her Mystery Shawl. It is stunning.
After blocking, it is to be gifted to a very lucky person. Wow! She used Cascade's Heritage sock yarn for the shawl, so not only is it so super soft you want to wrap it around you and camp out on the couch all day, it is also washable!
Check out what Amy is making for her son's birthday. I am in trouble if my boys see this:
Pirates, are of course, exceedingly cool. Combine them with black, and bright oranges, and you have a sweater that you KNOW they will wear.
(Seriously, Amy, what were you thinking? Connor is going to want one of these. And as soon as he wants one, Alec will want one!)
A fabulous knitter brought in this Noro vest - the pattern name escapes me right now - but aren't the colors beautiful?
Oh, and I finished my Punky Fuchsia baby sweater.
I love the way the color plays out in this yarn when knit. It is Classy from Dream in Color. I have a couple possible sweaters in mind for myself out of this yarn when the next shipment arrives.
Time to get ready for work. We are open today for your knitting and relaxing needs. Happy Veterans Day everyone!
