Bountiful Projects....

A new project started using Silky Wool....We see lots of bags like this in the shop.  Folks bring in their bags to share projects, the 'regulars' come in with their bags filled with several projects to hang out for the day...not being able to decide what they would like to work on for the day...and others just stop by to sit for a short while and get a questioned answered.   We love to have all of you stop in whenever you have a spare afternoon to visit and sit and knit with us.

New shipment of Vintage Berrocco is in....lots of pretty new colors with that old vintage feel.

New Book Arrivals




A fantastic new afghan book just in.  This book has lots of unique styles that are not typically found in afghan patterns. 
Deb K. is working on a gorgeous crochet afghan.  Here is a sneak peek at her beautiful work.  We have alot of crocheting going on at the shop.  Bonnie is working on 5 crocheted shawls for her daughters upcoming wedding celebration.  Sue P. is working on crocheting 50 doilies for a special keepsake for wedding guests of her niece.  Kim is working on a crocheted hat for a friend going through chemotherapy.  So, lots of crocheting going on here at the shop.  We have many ideas for you and several expert crocheters/designers here to help you with your crochet projects.  
Basil Hat knit by Sandee for Edith.  Mission Falls was used for this project.  So many knitters have made this hat for all different sizes.  Each one is unique!  I think each time someone comes into the shop a new person wants to make it!  Christiane designed this hat and has taught a class in it.  We are available to help you through it whenever you get to making it for yourself or as a gift.  Several folks have knit this up as a baby set with a sweater of their choosing.  Christiane is off in Austria right now visiting with her mom.  We hope that they both have a wonderful time together!

The Great American Aran Afghan

We are knitting The Great American Aran Afghan together.  This beautiful afghan consists of 24 squares featured by 24 knitters.  Combine 20 squares of your choice for the throw and pair 4 additional squares for accent pillows.  A few of us have decided to take up the challenge of knitting this project together.  Sandee will be hosting a class once-a-month to work on the different squares.  The yarn that we have choosen to use is Cascade 220  We would love for you to join us!  Contact the shop for more information or stop by to see the squares in progress....The More The Merrier!

Great American Aran Afghan Along on Ravelry has a great group with lots of support while knitting this project.
