A day at the shop...

A bouquet graces our table from the local farm stand in Chaplin.  Stop by Bedlam Road for a $4 bunch of lovely garden flowers.  The farm stand sells things all season long.  Linda loves their garlic pesto!

So, in between customers Sandee is out on her brandy new bike!  A bunch of us have tried this great new bike out and of course we all want one.  It is mighty comfortable.  Check out Scott's Cyclery if you're looking for a new or custom bike.  

Kathy is showing off this Clapotis shawl knit by Barb W. The big story is that Barb took 2 skeins plus a little extra yarn...and Sandee can't remember starting a third ball, she claims that she only used two skeins!  Well, Sandee did use all that yarn...and Barb did eventually convince her of the fact.  Don't worry, if she's helping you figure out a project...your project will be calculated correctly!  Barb used Rustic Tweed...2 skeins PLUS a little.

Kathy and Winston the Mule...Winston is a very personable Mule!

Bonnie brought Zoe by for a shop visit....so cute!

And...if you haven't been by to Yarns With a Twist lately...there is a pot of lovely yarn at the end of this rainbow.

Clapotis

Sandee knit up this beautiful Clapotis, available from Knitty out of Rustic Tweed.  The best part of knitting this shawl is that you get to drop the stitches on purpose! Christiane is modeling this lovely Clapotis and is actually knitting herself one for an upcoming wedding she's going to in Germany in the next week.

Elizabeth Zimmerman Adult Surprise

Stacey is wearing this new Elizabeth Zimmerman Adult Surprise Sweater knit for her by Sandee.  She used  Queensland Collection Rustic Wool.  It's a gorgeous fit for this fine Veterinarian.

Eat, Sleep, Knit

Okay...some of us have a problem...it could be worse right?

Heiki designed this beautiful coat. She used Rustic Tweed which is a DK weight yarn and it was doubled stranded it to give it a nice heavy weight.  

Ellyn Cooper knit this multi-directional scarf from her Ellyn Cooper's Yarn Sonnets Texas Big Horn in Khaki Blues. 

Isabel knit this multi-directional scarf out of Murano.  This yarn comes in a big hank so one skein will work this project up easily.

Ellyn Cooper's mom knit this Fiber Trends pattern The Landscape Shawl...a new pattern we have here in the shop.

 

Ellyn Cooper's Yarn Sonnets beautiful So Smooth was used for the bulk of the shawl and Cribe Irise yarn was used for the edging.

This prayer shawl is being knit for our dear friend Sue's sister-in-law.  We are all going to be knitting a few rows on it to share our blessings with her...

Linda knit this multi-directional scarf out of Rowan Felted Tweed. She used 3 skeins for an extra long scarf that can wrap once around your neck.

Maggy knit this Basil Hat out of Mission Falls. We have a number of knitters at the shop making this hat in all sorts of colors.  Everyone is enjoying this project.  

Our prolific knitter Barb knit these Snowflake Socks from Louet Gems merino wool. She knit this in between her work on The Great American Aran Afghan. I love the snowflake on the heel!
