Not to scare you but– Here are some new Items, just in time for the Holidays!!
Lavishea lotion pats are back in stock, but going quickly! They are bars of lotion which work wonderfully for knitters. They are not greasy at all.. They come in around 10 flavors, the newest being Orange and Winter Berry. They all smell wonderful. The cost is $8.80 a tin. They make great stocking stuffers and gifts for your knitting buddies!
Also, check out our new Stocking Stuffers Area. It is right by the door, so you can’t forget those ever important items! Check out the Sock Monkey measuring tape! It just came in last night and will not last long!
Also, we just got in some really neat project bags from Lantern Moon.
You have to excuse my typing- I am writing this on Elaine’s bus to chicago. We left at a little after 7 this morning and I am already making progress on one of my 4 projects!
How do you like Julie’s wrap? She made it with Berroco Flicker-one of our most popular yarns this season! It is an alpaca wool blend with a hint of metallic. The project takes 7 skeins and we are writing the pattern for aran weight and bulky as well! I have started working is in Berroco Blackstone Tweed Metallic. It has a slit to thread through one end so it will not fall off.
New is the shop– Messanger Bags from Nameste. These bags are great for your knitting, laptop, i-pad, or whatever. We have all colors in stock!
Don’t forget we have the no knitting felt slippper class this sat! There is still room in the class. Call the shop to sign up.
Look at Debbie’s version of my entrelac scarf. The photo does not do it justice! We still have a few kits, but you can easily make up your own color and yarncombinations for this project.
New Puff Daddy! Maybe we should call it the Puff Baby! This is ann’s version to go with her chair. Adorable!!! She knit is our of Thaki Montana. She is also going to do a summer version in the Tahki Mia hand dyed. Photos of this one to follow!
Don’t forget about our Mass Ave Gift Cards. They can be purchased in any amount!
Okay we are almost to Chi Town so I have to go shop!
Have a great day- susan

What is a Late Night Knit
A “Late Night Knit” is a night we set aside for our favorite yarn projects. The evening starts at 5:30 PM and goes on til Midnight. For $20 we provide pizza and drinks. You bring a snack and your latest project to work on. Sometimes we work on a service project, so be sure to check the blog before you join us. Can’t wait to see you at our next “Late Night Knit”
