<br />

<br />
The store will be closed from Tuesday, December 24th through Wednesday, January 1st, 2014.<br />
<br />
The store will re-open on Thursday, January 2nd with our regular store hours.<br />
<br />
We wish you all the best this holiday season. See you in the New Year!!

<br />
Over the span of this year, our awesome customers have picked up yarn, made squares and brought them in to the store. Another few customers have come along, picked up those squares, taken them home and sewn or crocheted them together. They bring completed blankets back to the store. Then, we donate the completed blankets to three organizations within Halton Region - Links To Care, The Salvation Army and Halton Women's Place.<br />
<br />
I tallied up the number for this year and counted 129 blankets which will be donated back into our community within the next few weeks. Thanks to everyone for their contributions this year! I know they will be warmly accepted by those who need them.Diane Crawfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02143999753058321400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555606386672602445.post-63100231274136605952013-12-05T12:27:00.000-05:002013-12-05T12:27:46.402-05:00Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
It's me, Linda, again. I am going to attempt to keep the blog going while Diane is away. I hope you will bear with me as I am not tech saavy and this is all very new to me.<br />
<br />
I just wanted you all to know about the new yarns that have arrived at the store. We got another shipment of Hedgehog Fibres in some very pretty sock colourways. <br />
<br />
The Madeline Tosh has finally all arrived and is gloriously squishy! There is the Tosh Merino Light (a heavy lace/fingering weight) in 16 colours which makes beautiful shawls and scarves. We also have the Tosh DK in 17 colours and the Tosh Vintage (worsted) in 12 colours. <br />
<br />
Also new to the store is the Manos Del Uruguay Alegria. It is a sock/fingering weight yarn that is 75% superwash merino-25% polyamide and has the most gorgeous colours! I'm having a hard time trying to decide whether to make socks or a scarf from it first. We now have 10 colours of it in stock.<br />
<br />
I'd love to show you all the pretty colours as I have been taking pictures of everything as it arrives but I haven't yet figured out how to upload/download (?) the pictures to the computer and then transfer them to the blog. I did say that I am <u>not</u> tech saavy. You will just have to come in to see all the pretty new yarns for yourself. Hope to see you all soon.Diane Crawfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02143999753058321400noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555606386672602445.post-9780621551612661432013-11-15T16:10:00.002-05:002013-11-15T16:10:28.637-05:00Hi everyone, <br />

As his family is in town, the visitation and funeral are happening while they still here. <br />
<br />
The visitation is today, Friday, November 15, from 2 - 4 pm and from 7 - 9 pm at JS Jones and Sons Funeral Home, here in Georgetown. The funeral is to take place tomorrow, Saturday, November 16th at 2:30 pm also at Jones. <br />
<br />
We are sure you will understand why the blog did not go out as normal this week.<br />
<br />
Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.

<br />
First of all hope you had a fun <span style="color: orange; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Halloween</span>.<br />
After all the little goblins left<br />
hope you found time to do some knitting as you nibbled on some treats.<br />
<br />
This weekend I am off to a <span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b>knitting retreat</b></span> past Kingston.<br />
This is the 3rd year I have attended and am looking forward to meeting friends<br />
and learning new ideas and knitting techniques.<br />
<br />
According to an email I received this week </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>Madeline Tosh</b></span> yarn will be here in soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a long wait for it but I know that it will be worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There will be fingering, dk and kw in lovely fibres and stunning colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who do not know this yarn - it has a huge following as they absolutely love it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
It is great to highlight projects made by our super customers - take a look at this cute outfit.<br />

All I can say about this beautiful shawl is <span style="color: magenta;"><b>WOW</b></span>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lindsay - one of our customers who spins - spun the yarn and crocheted this stunning shawl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She used a braid of Hedgehog Fibres BFL roving, spun it into a fine lace weight yarn </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then crocheted this "wow" shawl.<br />

Isn't this a lovely shawl/wrap!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Linda B. - one of our regular customers brought it in to show me and I am so glad she did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She used less than one ball of <span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Magico </span>fingering<span style="color: #741b47;">.</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Linda did the lovely knitting and the yarn made the stunning design.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern she used is called <span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><b>Lazy Katy </b></span>and is a Ravelry pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also have a super selection of fingering weight patterns to make shawls / wraps.<br />
<br />
Happy Knitting and crocheting during this <span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><b>Fall</b></span> season.</div>

Where was the sun this past long weekend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seeing you were likely inside most of the time - hopefully you got some knitting and crocheting done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have started a new project with the <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>BlueFaced Aran</b></span> wool we got in a few weeks ago </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- picture to come when it is finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the meantime I finished my <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>Sunstruck shawl</b></span> - purchased pattern on Ravelry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used 3 skeins of the lovely <span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Hedgehog Fibres Sock </span>(fingering) in the tantalizing colours </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Wish, Merlot and Poseidon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pattern has lots and lots of short rows and it was fun to do.</div>

You can see from the above picture that the shawl is a lopsided triangle. </div>

We had a wonderful trip - except for getting sick. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went on a Danube/Rhine River cruise from Budapest, Hungary to Amsterdam, Holland.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ship was wonderful and the "things' we saw were unbelievable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did take my knitting with me but I did not do much.</div>

No I did not knit these but this why we knit.<br />
I saw these 2 sweaters in the window of a high end shop in Austria.<br />
The pullover was over 3000 euros and the cardigan was over 4200 euro.<br />
A euro is about $1.30!!<br />
<br />

Sitting outside the church in Austria where <span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><b>Maria</b></span> from <span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><b>The Sound of Music </b></span><br />
walked down the aisle and was married.<br />
I also walked down the aisle - kind of interesting in a strange way.<br />
The organ was playing and it was beautiful.<br />
Also saw the row of tall trees the kids were playing in.- guess they are a lot taller now than when the movie was made.<br />
Also walked to and in the Abby that was important in the movie.<br />

Knitting and relaxing on the top deck of the ship as we sailed the Rhine River through Germany. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The river is narrow and we could see so many interesting things as we sailed along.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Only saw a few <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>sheep</b></span> until we got to <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Holland </b></span>and then they were everywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next week there will be pictures of some of <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><b>our fall yarns</b></span> and patterns that have arrived.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is quite a variety and I am sure you will like them all!!</div>

Of course I have to have <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>PINK</b> </span></span>flowers in it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few posts ago we showed you this cuddly blanket </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that Linda knitted using <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Baby Bunting</b></span>.</div>

You can see the 5 new colours that we now have. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Baby Bunting</b></span> is thick, cuddly and a quick knit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can picture so many colour combinations that this blanket could be made in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You all know that I love to <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>knit</b></span> and I also love to <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><b>garden</b></span>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpzHKJnwrh8d0n3fSeMBF_tnpHWrcBuqlxalqzkDLT2ZEygDZCo-tGpzZseXenCywq_rs99PSsxWqNkwIw9MpTC48ebrpT6e2wrSoQkr3Qs3GM4JEG22RgKg5ecXgFXIrviNsEet0nvZs/s1600/img_7277.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpzHKJnwrh8d0n3fSeMBF_tnpHWrcBuqlxalqzkDLT2ZEygDZCo-tGpzZseXenCywq_rs99PSsxWqNkwIw9MpTC48ebrpT6e2wrSoQkr3Qs3GM4JEG22RgKg5ecXgFXIrviNsEet0nvZs/s400/img_7277.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
My front garden - the Phlox are so beautiful!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-size: large;"><b>Murrina </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is a rather strange name for a yarn but it is the name of our latest addition to the shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTPB3mBcHO96ktI8mnVjCUFpUm3J-YeipIS9px98m4R3wbCrmA7uA31GwgTAqG22I_IbLbgiZA-GSRoP_ilDCCJDcHRSxZegh9RIJApUhZwXlY6JHNvfO_pASMboB6H2H0gNqkIAIYeEI/s1600/img_7271.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTPB3mBcHO96ktI8mnVjCUFpUm3J-YeipIS9px98m4R3wbCrmA7uA31GwgTAqG22I_IbLbgiZA-GSRoP_ilDCCJDcHRSxZegh9RIJApUhZwXlY6JHNvfO_pASMboB6H2H0gNqkIAIYeEI/s400/img_7271.jpg" width="160" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know it is hot outside but we know winter is coming -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so this is a great time of year to start your gift projects and be already when the winds blow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the best way to describe <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><b>Murrina </b></span>is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- merino blend, chunky, very pretty, many colours in each ball, slightly thick and thin, slight sheen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will make wonderful scarves, cowls or whatever!.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have a <b>free</b> easy pattern to make a diagonal long scarf which you can wrap around your neck 2 times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just a reminder - plans are gradually coming together for our </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Knitting, Crocheting, Fibre Retreat on April 4, 5 and 6th, 2014.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you have this weekend set aside for this exciting event.</div>

Ann made this cute v-neck pullover using <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><b>Sirdar Snuggly Crofter</b></span>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Believe it or not - all the colours are in each ball of yarn - you "just" knit and end up with great patterning.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any little girl would love to wear this dear little cardigan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ann knit it using <span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"><b>Sirdar Snuggly Baby Speckles</b></span>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This yarn is very soft cotton blend in "speckled" colours.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ann loves using <span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><b>Sirdar Snuggly Crofter </b></span>and our sheep loves wearing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This outfit is so adorable - the ear flap hat, cute cardigan with lace knitting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and hiding under the sweater our sheep is wearing matching knitted booties.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These yarns are popular for babies, toddlers and adult projects. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A customer came in the other day wearing a lovely pullover she knit in the same colour </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as the v-neck pullover in the first picture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry, forgot to take a picture of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"N"ewe|" colours in <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Sirdar</b></span> <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Snuggly Crofter</b></span> should be arriving soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Ann, special thanks for lending us your beautiful knitting!</span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>Exciting N"ewe"s!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mark you calendars now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>April 4, 5 & 6th, 2014!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>We are hostessing a knitting/crocheting/fibre Retreat! </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and <b><span style="color: magenta;">"ewe"</span> </b>are invited!.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can expect a super fun weekend along with learning, time to relax and yummy food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so excited and hope <span style="color: magenta;"><b>"ewe" </b></span>are also.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watch our blog for more information as it becomes available</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>Remember </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mark your calendar now and start saving your pennies </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- oh, guess <span style="color: magenta;">"ewe"</span> cannot save your pennies any more but <span style="color: magenta;">"ewe"</span> know what I mean!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to the calender and the weather outside - summer has arrived!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We often refer to the lazy days of summer so,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel that is an invitation to find time to sit and knit / crochet / spin - play with fibre.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of fibre - another <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">n"ewe" </span></b>one arrived recently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><b>Titus</b></span> is a new yarn by an English company called <span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><b>Baa Ram Ewe</b></span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This yarn is made from the lovely wool of the Yorkshire sheep from Yorkshire, England.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a fingering weight yarn in 8 colours </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- yorkstone, coal, chevin, bantam, parkin, aire, eccup and white rose</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will have to come in to see what colours they really are! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are individual patterns (or you can use any fingering pattern)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also a lovely book with patterns for <span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><b>Titus</b></span> plus other yarns from them that we are expecting at a later date.<br />
<br />
