Shawlettes Galore


Crackerjack knitter, Cissy Rosenberg, stopped in to show us her latest creations, both made of Malabrigo. Kim Norman and Lois Wolf, great sports both, agreed to do the modeling. Kim is wearing the Citron by Hilary Smith Callis (pattern available at knitty.com), a semi-circular shawlette replete with ruffles and ruching. Lois is all wrapped up in Ysolde Teague's Damson made from Malabrigo Lace weight.

We Rock!


Yep. The Chickens Have Come Home to Roost and we mean that in a GOOD way!)

At last we have Blue Moon Fibers! This includes Socks That Rock (in medium & heavy weights and including the very sought-after Raven Series that is overlaid in black), Icelandic (chunky weight), Laci (lace weight) and Luscious Silk (DK weight.) We're loving it for all kinds of things including combining the Icelandic with Rowan Kidsilk Haze for a cashmere-like feel.

You may not know it, so we have to tell you: this is HUGE! Tina has blessed us! There aren't many LYSs that have the privilege of carrying these amazing hand-dyed yarns from Oregon. In fact, we are one of 10 shops in the whole wide world!! It took some doing (see our entries from 11/14/2007 and 09/04/2008 -- which will also explain the chicken reference), but it was so worth it.

Come into the shop to see, feel and purchase it -- or call on the phone and shop that way -- because we can't put it on our web site.

We received our first shipment at the beginning of the holiday rush and didn't have a minute to tell you about it. But now you know! Come in and check it out.
