I have talked about the Knit a Monster Nursery book before. It is perhaps one of the most adorable baby pattern books EVER! (Two left at the shop!!) So when my friend Sarah got pregnant, I knew that I had to knit her something from this book. Since my nearest and dearest friends get baby … read more »
I supposed that I am in “nesting” mode for the new baby because I am taking on quite a few baby hand knits lately. I grabbed two colors of Plucky Knitter Sweater when she was here for the big trunk show. I don’t know why, but I became obsessed with the Repunzel colorway. I am … read more »
I think sometime last week a moving company showed up and put all of our store into a truck and moved it into another store. And then in about two days we unpacked and set up and reopened. I am not sure because most of the last month is a complete blurr. Our contractor had … read more »
The new store space is moving along very quickly. My amazing contractor has been working lots and lots of hours with his team to get everything done in just a week. Here is some progress:
And it is purses. I suppose that it would be healthier and less expensive to have a weakness for yarn. I have that weakness too. But my handbag problem is more expensive. I have had to limit myself to one per season. Many of you know that my current obsession is with Orla Kiely. Given … read more »
We are very excited about the Kelbourne Woolens Vol. 1 book that is arriving at the shop this week! It is a wonderful collection that puts all of their most popular patterns into one place and provides lots of inspiration for those who are also Fibre Co yarn addicts! I was delighted to be asked … read more »
I spent a long weekend in Orlando this past week and was so excited to be done with the Celestarium project that I quickly found something else rather large to cast on for. On the hunt for my first baby project for my own little bundle of joy, I started to think about a baby … read more »
I was so super excited to finish the Celestarium minutes before midnight on the 31st. I didn’t get it blocked in time, but it is now at the shop if you want to see one in person before making it. My gauge is most definitely not right. It is small..very very small. It was surprisingly … read more »
How is everyone progressing on their knitalong projects? With only a few days left, I am hoping to see some completed shawls come visit the shop this week! I got a little distracted with a last minute baby knitting project for a friend whose baby was born on Monday. It was just so cold over … read more »
Since I am so fond of starting projects that are so overwhelming that I will never finish them, it is nice to know that this WIP has a definite end in sight. And really, I don’t think I will have much of a choice on when it ends either. Some of you may have noticed … read more »
I was discussing a typical holiday experience with friends the other day over brunch. Most folks have some fond memories of holidays spent at grandma’s house or Aunt whoever’s house, etc etc. Others always found them to be very stressful or even painful. For those that have lost a close relative or friend, the holidays … read more »
I recently taught a men’s sweater class, and was so excited to see a few completed sweaters stumble back into the shop over the weekend! This is the Devon pattern, made from Peruvia Quick and available in Norah Gaughan Men booklet. Here is my version for Phil: Gonzo, who was the solo dude in the … read more »
I posted awhile back about taking on perhaps a bit too much “DIY” for my friend’s baby shower. I decided that each person should have a knitted monster to take home with them. Luckily I had help getting them done! Leslie at DIY Del Ray stopped by to snap some great photos. So rather than … read more »
I love a good accessory piece that I can throw around my neck earlier in the winter season. Last week I taught an Intro to Lace class and thought I might as well knit the pattern along with my students The project is the Troubador pattern by Tanis Gray (free on Ravelry!). The yarn is … read more »
