We have lots of wonderful "things" to make you feel happy!

Fun colours for girls and boys

The name of this yarn  - Smiley Stripes - makes you smile.

You will also be smiling as you knit and watch the colours change with each stitch.

It is not just for kids.

It would make a lovely summer top for you!

 

Flat yarn swift

We have just received this new kind of
Yarn Swift.
It is really nice because
- it is easy to put together
- does need to be clamped on to a table
 - it is easily adjustable.

Ruffled yarns

Everyone loves to be "in fashion"!

Wearing a ruffled scarf is a sure way of doing so!

You will definitely make a "statement" when you wear your ruffled scarf.

Be prepared to have your scarf admired every time you wear it.

People are amazed when you tell them you made it.

Remember, knitting is a talent - do not tell them how easy it was!

"March" in the shop

March can be a kind of dreary time of month - but it is very cheery here in the shop.

You will find N"ewe"  items attractively displayed among the green shamrocks.

In this picture you will see a lovely Molly scarf knit by Irene.

 It is made of Classic Elite Liberty Print wool.

We have 9  beautiful colourways.

Each month we receive 2 n"ewe" colours of this yarn.

 Be sure to come in and see them.

Kind of hiding behind the scarf, you will also see lots of n"ewe" colours of Silky Merino by Sweaterkits.

In the wire baskets is the n"ewe" yarn called Jeanie by Peter Pan..

Fun colours and fashionable patterns.

Check out my Panama Shawl.
I am calling it that as I knit it when I was in Panama.
It is make of Katia Temis and it is "just knit".
 It is the interesting thick and thin yarn which makes it look like you did lace knitting.

The little girls cardigan is made of Smiley Stripes by Sirdar.
 It is self striping and comes in 'boy" and "girl" colours.

Linda's Swallowtail Shawl made using Malabrigo Sock still continues to be admired.
 Quite a few of our customers are working on their own creations.

I will share with you more info on these n'ewe' yarns, in later posts - so be sure to watch for them.

Remember our Green Coloured Sale continues until March 17th.

Believe it or not - Spring is coming!!

Have fun knitting and crocheting

A work of Art!

Even though it is now March - we can likely still expect some snow and cold weather but there is a great solution for enjoying this weather  -  keep knitting and crocheting!

Now think - cozy, warm, ....and a beautiful hand knit blanket.

Knitting a blanket is a cozy activity to do

and great entertainment for you during this in-between kind of weather.

I wanted to share with you this wonderful blanket that Janet created using

Berroco Comfort KW.

The pattern is one of  over 50 designs in the Berroco Comfort Knitting and Crocheting Afghan book.

Janet loves to do cables and she does such a perfect job every time.

I thought you would enjoy seeing a close up of picture of all the intricate twists and turns.

 I am sure you will agree that it is amazing work of art!

 It is not "just" knitted!!

When you feel the Berroco Comfort KW you will think cotton, silk, and other wonderful thoughts but you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that it is actually made out of a high quality acrylic and microfiber blend. It is very smooth to knit with and the stitch definition is wonderful. We have this yarn is over 25 colours and their are specific books including patterns for babies, kids, adults and home decor. You can also use any KW pattern for this yarn. We also have Berroco Comfort Baby for your special babies.

This is a great weight of yarn to knit with - not too heavy and not too thin. How about trying some soon!

Three things to remember
- our Green Coloured Sale is now happening
                                      
 - lots of ruffled yarns have "arrived" and are "leaving" quickly!
                                       
- Spring and Summer yarns are also arriving

Hope to see you soon.

Where is Diane?

I just returned from a wonderful week holiday in ????.

Of course I took my knitting with me.

Below are some "where is Diane"?? pictures.

See if you can guess.

 I will tell you at the end of this post.





Knitting beside a very old ruins - wonder if they knitted!

Knitting in an unusual place



Did not see any knitting but lots of other wonderful crafts

Shocked look as I just dropped my knitting in the pool

the only "yarn" store I saw

I was lucky enough to go to Panama with some long time girl friends and some new girl friends. We went on a bus tour which was wonderful. Saw lots - including toucans and macaws out side our hotel window, cruising through the Panama Canal. Also ate too much, and did lots of laughing.

Picture #1 - besides of the ruins of building from old Panama City built around 1600
Picture #2 - on the ferry cruising through the Panama Canal - wow is it big and busy
Picture #3 - outside a house in a native village in the rain forests
Picture #4 -  in the pool with my wet knitting at the hotel in the rain forest
Picture #5 - yarn bins in a grocery store in Panama City

I have all my pictures on my computer at the shop. If you would like to see them - be sure to drop in - I would love to share them with you.

UPDATE!!!

 Lots and lots of the ruffling yarns have arrived. There is a great selection of new colours!

Have fun knitting and crocheting, Diane
