The Dye Guy is at it again1

Our friend The Dye Guy 

has been at it again developing wonderful n"ewe" colours.

Socky Talky
Socky Talky makes the most amazing socks because of its wonderful feel 
and  interest colour range.
These are their n"ewe" colours. Which one is your favourite?
We have other colours in stock also.
This sock is also great for shawls - come in and see our sample.

Joy of Soy
Joy of Soy is yarn made of soy fibre.
This fingering weight yarn has a lovely sheen and feels very smooth as you knit with it.
We have a sample made of this yarn - Maluka - and others colours for you to choose from.
You will have to come in and check out the fun names that John (The Dye Guy) gives his yarns.
One of the other super thing about this yarn that it is dyed locally in Jordon Station ON
- on the way to Niagara Falls.

Misti Alpaca is here

Everyone loves Misti Alpaca yarns

The colours are so heavenly and the yarn so soft.

A wonderful yarn shop in Stockholm, Sweden

Inside the above yarn shop -

The Wingspan was interesting to knit.

 It  was really fun to see the colour changes.

 It is a free Ravelry pattern - of course we have the yarn!

I have been busy today unpacking boxes of n"ewe" stock.

Happy Knitting!

I hope that you are enjoying this hot weather.

Wasn't that rain nice on Wednesday night!!

Bob and I have just returned from a Baltic Cruise

 - it was wonderful! 

Visited 7 countries and saw so many things that I never dreamt I would see.

Of course I took my knitting with me and even managed to visit a few yarn shops.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Found this lovely shop and had a nice visit. They also carried needlepoint, cross stitch and material.

Oslo, Norway
Norway is famous for their skiing and this larger than life Troll with his skis wanted to see me knitting!
I am knitting on my Wingspan 
- a very differently shaped wrap - which is now on display in the shop. 
It is a free Ravelry pattern.
I had pictures of me and my knitting taken in many strange places and did get some weird looks!

I will include more pictures of my trip and of my Wingspan next week.

The shop was well cared for by Linda while I was away.
 When you come for a visit you will see lots of  n"ewe" signs around the shop.


Oh, by the way,
 I have put quite a few yarns on sale to make way for the n"ewe" Fall yarns!

Sock book and flowers

I promised you pictures of my bright orange Girl Guide lilies - well here they are!

 really close up

a bit farther back
Can you count the number of blooms there are going
 to be on this one plant?
 Isn't it amazing!
I must have a green thumb.
 I water them regularly
 and
sometimes tell them they are really pretty!!

Socks for Everyone

is the name of our n"ewe"st sock book.
The designer describes the book as fabulous, fun footwear for any time of the year.
