 I'm a Knitting Grandma

...from a yarn overdose. Rick and I had a chance to attend the NW Needle Market this morning. We had to get in and get out pretty fast, since he had to work this afternoon. But we had plenty of time to fondle and purchase. Ohh la la! So many lovely goodies to peruse. And some even came home with us today. But first, I have to show off my first ever lace shawl. I was knitting like a fiend right up until 11pm last night. Then I had to block it. I was hoping it would be dry by this morning, so I could wear it to the market. It was...and I did. The thing blocked out so big that it wouldn't all fit in the picture. It's as wide as a twin sheet is long.  This is a close-up of the stitch pattern. I used Fiber Trends Shoal water Shawl and some of my hand dyed lace weight merino yarn.  Okay, now that I've had a chance to brag, let me get to today's booty. How about some lovely hand dyed lace yarn. This wasn't done by me...but it's the next best thing (I'm JOKING). There is just one skein available of each color.  Here are some wonderful straw totes. Generous sized. Lined, with handles and metal feet on the bottom. I have 4 available, but can always get more.  These little beauties are circular needle cases. I have one of each color shown.  They're silk and look at the best feature...they're labeled!!!  How about some unique hand dyed sock yarn. Why is it unique, you ask? Because it's an alpaca, wool, nylon blend. Can you say sssooooofffffttttt? 15 skeins available.  Need a sophisticated closure for a shawl or sweater? I've got just what you need. Here are some one-of-a-kind fused glass shawl pins.  Or how about these? Only one of each item available, except those nifty bone knit stix. I have lots of those and they're a bargain at just $9.99 each. Did you notice the adorable sheep shawl pin and sheep earrings? I only have one of each but can get more, don't worry.  And still more yarn, hand dyed silk/merino in a worsted weight. Enough here to do a lace scarf and we just happen to have a couple of free patterns at the shop that'll work perfectly. Only one of each color.  Remember, there are very limited quantities of the above items in stock. Some I can get more of...but many are one-of-a-kind. If you see something you can't live without you can always pay for it with paypal or visa/mc and I can hold it for you. Roxi| 4:51 PM 0 comments

This week has been super busy. Which is strange since the week after the summer sale is usually really slow. Go figure. Thanks for making our 8th Anniversary Sale a huge success. We saw knitters from all over Washington and even a few "out of staters". They keep saying that the knitting craze has slowed ...but you wouldn't know it from the great summer we're having. I have a couple of SUMMER SPECIALS to offer this week. Supplies are limited, so hurry if these interest you. First up is a special treat for our spinners.  This is superwash merino/alpaca (70/30) in 3 lovely heathered colors, sand, green, and gray. Just $1.50 per ounce. I have 10# of each color available. Yum. Yum. The second special offering is for all you dyers out there. This is a 1# 1oz. bundle of Blue Faced Leicester in a fingering weight. Perfect for socks. The yarn is minimally processed and retains the lanolin. It will bloom nicely once dyed. You can dye yarn for 4 pairs of socks with this. Each bundle is $44. I have 10 bundles available.  I also have a finished object to show. This is a bag I designed using Zitron UNIKAT yarn. I'll have the pattern available next week.  Roxi| 7:30 PM 0 comments
