Our Knit Group arrived this morning and worked like beavers putting yarns in their proper places:

Josh in the midst of all those books!

Patti in the Rowan yarns.

Laura with the awful task of sorting sock yarns.

Princess Leia, aka Birgitta, is having too much fun.

Mary with the alpaca yarns.

Cathy trying to add order to the wool yarns.

MaryAlice and Jackie straightening the silks.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the finished areas in the shop.

Sock yarns!

All those silks!

Many, many wool yarns.

A thank you is not very much to offer for all this excellent help. But thank you so much! We couldn’t have done it without you!

This week’s Sand Dollar sale is on Rio Cotton Rich yarn, a soft cotton in DK wt. Just a couple of colors left sure to fly off the shelf at $1/ball.  A machine washable yarn from Sirdar.

Hopefully our sale a day late is okay.

Sorry, too many classes and yarns arriving and forgot about posting the new Sand Dollar Sale. It is on the Fortissima Socka yarn and is available for $1/100g ball. If you’re looking for yarns to knit socks for Christmas, don’t pass this up.

Try Alpaca Out This Fall

We have an incredibly soft yarn offering for the Sand Dollar sale this week.  It is 100% alpaca from the Alpaca Yarn Company. There is both the Classic and the Classic Lite on sale. Just enter the words “sand dollar” in the coupon box on your shopping cart page to see the discount applied. These yarns are normally $6.95/50g ball. On sale this week at $3/ball. Try out this alpaca. We’re sure you’ll like it.

Melissa’s sampler vest is beautiful. She has almost finished the back. The stitches are intriguing. I had warned her about the esparta sttitch which everyone said pay close attention to and she said she definitely didn’t try and work on it at the quilt auction. Not a mindless knit along at that point.

My vest is languishing as I finish up models for the knit one below workshop, goodies to decorate a “diaper cake”, several shawls which are finished (HOORAY) and other things here and there besides moving into our new house on Chincoteague. Which is wonderful by the way. I know this coming spring when Dan finishes the landscaping, we will not be on friendly terms with them, but the herd of deer that grazed through the woods beside the house this evening was lovely. 

Grab this up at a $1.00/ball – Trampoline Stretch and Meilenweit Multi Jacquard. Quantities limited. Don’t miss it!
