Prime knitting season is right around the corner, of course we
think prime knitting season lasts all year long, but traditionally fall and
winter is when most folks dust off those knitting needles and begin to knit
holiday gifts and comfort items for cold days.
Claudia recently made a pilgrimage to the TNNA Summer Trade Show
in Ohio to scope out and purchase the latest in yarn, notions, and knitting
goodies and it's begun to arrive at the shop but first we need to make a little
room for all the new products coming in before the new products can be sold.

We have begun to sneak a few new products into the shop this week,
that we’re pretty excited about.
MochiMochiLand – new kits have arrived featuring gnomes, tiny
burgers, tiny pirates, tiny robots, tiny ninjas, and tiny sushi. Yes, there is a tiny theme going here. All you need for these kits are a set of
size 1 double-pointed needles and a tapestry needle the kit includes, yarn,
patterns, and stuffing.
Soak Laundry Soaps – we spend too much time on our knits and the
fibers we use are often more delicate than store-bought garments, gentle soaps
are almost always recommended for hand-knits.
Soak is perfect for these items, featuring a gentle, rinse free and
environmentally friendly formula. It
also smells great with several scents to choose from, but if you’re the
unscented type we have you covered.
Diamond Luxury Llamasoft – When this was being unpacked Candy (our
knitting teacher) touched it and froze, the softness was almost too much to
handle. She made have spent the rest of
her time in the shop insisting people “pet the llama”. Llamasoft is 100% baby llama, worsted weight
with 164 yards per skein.
And last but not least, the latest publications
from Knit Purl Hunter have arrived!
Please call to reserve your copy of Building
with Lace it’s proving to be a popular purchase. We will be scheduling an 18 session KAL
beginning in August, with two sessions a week on Wednesday evenings and Saturdays.
Pricing for all 18 sessions will be $80.
Don’t want to do all 18, that’s fine, you can sign up for 9 sessions for
$45 and come to either one of the sessions each week.
