I said to myself...

I should do something today besides knit.
And then I laughed and laughed.

Remember to go to RAVELRY and look for Stephen West MKAL 2014. You will get the first clue downloaded on friday the 31. We will meet Saturday Nov. 1 at 2 pm to go over the clue. You will receive, in your email, 1 clue each of the next 3 fridays and we will meet on the following Saturday to go over the clue. This is always a fun project to see how the different colors go together!
There is no cost for the group, just purchase your pattern on RAVELRY before the 31st.

Check out our new message board. I am already realizing it is much more productive than my little notes on the door!

Thanks Pepper!!

I have started my second project using the ALCHEMY YARNS. I am working the SANCTUARY and the SILKEN STRAW. The SANCTUARY will felt and the SILKEN STRAW will not. It creates a really interesting effect.

I know you thought I had given up on the “Roy’s Blanket”, but alas, I am on the home stretch! I am in the process of putting my strips together and have only 2-3 more squares to knit up!

* Sorry Mary, you left before I could get a pic.

Come in and get your yarn before the 31st!
We will meet for the Mystery knit along at 2 pm. on Sat nov. 1st.

If you did not make it to the In Store Retreat, many participants are going to make the Shibui pattern no. 31! That group will meet on Saturday, Nov. 1 from 10 am- 12. We will have the pattern and different yarn choices in the store on monday! check it out on RAVELRY. There is no charge for this group. Just Pattern cost and yarn.

SO EXCITED!- I have finally, (with the help of Heather E.), figured out a form and colors for the Temperature Scarf! You will knit 2 rounds a day in a color that represents the average temperature for that day. It is knit in the round on 80 sts with a guage of around 5.5 sts to the inch.
Your color will be determined by the average temperature for that day. You will get a form that you can write down the temperature, in case you can’t get to it right away. It will also have a spot to clip a bit of yarn for each degree change.

Here are the choices for the 20 ball version with the cold colors at the bottom of the photo.
I have chosen 2 groups of colors. A 10 color option (with 10 degree changes) and a 20 color option ( with 5 degree changes).
I will kit the two options with a 10% discount. Let me know and I will put one together for you. The 20 ball kit is regularly priced $158.00 and the 10 ball kit is $80. This is a year long project.

Check out these new paper bowls-
