Stitches was a Blast !
First, I want to thank all the great customers of ours up at Stitches Midwest!! The weekend is a lot of work, but you guys make it all worth while. If you have a group, or just you and you are coming to Indy, PLEASE stop by and say hello! And thanks again for a wonderful weekend!
Second, Thanks to all the Mass. Ave. Bus riders. I have heard great responses. Heather and Elaine worked very hard to make it a fun time for you all! Stitches is earlier next year (aug 9th) so we will probably start taking reservations May 1st. I will keep you posted.
Here are some pictures of the items that did really well for us at Stitches!
Pagewood Farms Wool balls. I knit this cowl on a 17 needle one night in the hotel (in about an hour). We have a couple colors left, but I am ordering more- This cowl has got to be seen- it is SO cute!!
Dolce Vito from SMC (formerly Gedifra)
This Yarn(?) is finger crocheted. Beth started to wind the ball in the truck when we left the shop parking lot and had it finished by 38th st. We call it the 42 block scarf! Come in to see the colors we have left and for a demonstration. One skein makes a scarf. This is a great project for kids!
Okay- this is my favorite. It is hard to tell, but it is a thread with sequins held together with lace mohair.
If you bought this at stitches for the scarf-I have revised the pattern! I have changed to a size 10.5 needle and cast on only 40 sts. I like this better because it is more open. I think 1 ball of each yarn will do it. Keep posted and I will show the finished product in a few days. I will also show you the colors options (they are still in a box somewhere). The color selection is amazing!
The 2nd annual Indian Summer Pitch-In is just around the corner! Sat. Sept 17 at 5:30 the fun will begin! We will have door prizes and some special deals just for you!
If your Last name begins with: A-M please bring a side dish

This thurs Sept 1 is Open knitting from 5-8 pm. Bring what ever you want to work on. All are welcome and there is no charge!
Don’t forget that Sept 8th is Superbowl Scarf Knit night. The time is getting closer every day to the nov deadline to turn in your scarves. Sarah Burton will again join us with some of her fabulous patterns. If you missed her last time,DO NOT miss her this time. It will be well worth your time!!
Have a great evening- Susan
Stitches 2011
Wow! What a great day we had! We were busy all day and well received!! Here are some pics of the booth!!
The crankers are a hit! If you don’t know what I am talking about, you need to stop by our booth (417-419) and check it out!
Malabrigo and Madeline Tosh were some of our big sellers! Check out the new yarn – Dolce Vita. It came in just before we left on Wednesday. It is a loopy yarn that you finger crochet! We call the scarf “the 42 block scarf ” because that is how long it took Beth to crochet it!
Have a great weekend. Bus riders -we will see you around 10 tomorrow!!

P.S. the dred bag is the new version knit with malabrigo and stella for a little bling! I knit it for “Bags to Riches “fundraiser. I new it would be really cute or really bad. I think it is really cute!
