Christiane was hard at work last week, making room for the new yarns, and doing some redecorating in the shop. Below is a photo of her new display wall which features her new design, Volan, (lower left). Also on the wall is hanging the Paint Box Scarf (far left). This scarf was knitted using one skein of Kauni Effektgarn and Kauni Wool. The Kauni Effektgarn has a long striping effect and vibrant color schemes. A fall class is being scheduled for the Paint Box Scarf, but if you can't wait to begin let us know. Someone will be available to help you get started.
