Flowers and Knitting

I am sure that you have figured out by now that I love my garden and all the beautiful colours in it.

It kinds of reminds me of all the beautiful colours of yarn in the shop.

 Phlox
My Phlox just keep growing and blooming from now until the end of the summer.
I pick off the flower heads after they have bloomed and more blooms appear like magic!

Maluka Shawl
One of our customers - Pam - knit this lovely shawl called Maluka.
She brought it in the show me and I wanted to share it with you.
She used Joy of Soy by The Dye Guy in a shade called Raspberry Ice.
You may recall that I showed you a picture of my Maluka
 knitted in Joy of Soy in Seafoam.
The pattern is easy, looks wonderful and is free on Ravelry.
You can use any fingering weight yarn to create this shawl.

Happy Canada Day!!
We will be closed the first week of July!

You can never have too many scarves!

 I am sure that you will agree that you and your friends can never have too many scarves.

They are such a quick and rewarding project, especially when you use unique yarns.

Here are some more pictures of the Triana Lux scarves.

They really do not show up the "lux" in the pictures but in the shop they look quite stunning.

They have a new colours range which is different than the Triana.

Thanks to Edythe for knitting them all.

There are so many wonderful yarns and super patterns for you to chose from, including the 2 designs below.

The Jordan Scarf

This stunning blue scarf is made using 1 ball of The Dye Guy Socky-Talky.

Socky-Talky is a wonderful feeling superwash merino/nylon blend.

Don't let the name of this yarn fool you - you can make "anything" with it including this lovely scarf.




Every one loves NORO!

This wavy and lacy scarf was knit using NORO King.

King is a lovely soft lace weight yarn and is silk/wool/ mohair blend.

The scarf only took 1 ball and it grew 10" in length when blocked which is a bonus!

Thanks again to Edythe for knitting this lovely scarf.

The pattern is free with the purchase of King.

If you used 2 or more balls, you could make a stunning shawl.

I can guarantee that your scarf will look much nicer being worn than it does on my living room rug!

Knitters' Frolic and N"ewe"

We had a great day at the Frolic in Toronto.

It was a lot of work - deciding what to take, having enough stock, loading Linda's van, setting up, "working" all day, taking down, loading Linda's van again and getting the shop back in order - but it was worth it!

We got to talk to so many enthusiastic knitters and crocheters.

Thanks to those of you who dropped by to say Hi. 

Part of our very full display

Our booth stood our in the crowd because it was so colourful.



We are waiting for the show to open.
We were still smiling at the end of the day even though we had tired feet!



N'ewe" yarns from The Dye Guy

Just Kidding Around

This hand dyed yarn is a wonderful blend of 70% mohair and 30% nylon in a lace weight.

 It is lovely and soft and would make a beautiful shawl or whatever.

Lace Time

This yarn is the softest 100% Superwash Merino Wool ever!

The unique hand dyed colours plus the fact that it is a "local" yarn - makes it a winner.

Hope to see you soon.
