Seedstitch T...

Sheila S. knit this pretty Seedstitch T Sweater out of cotton.  The rolltop neck and generous drape is beautiful and will accommodate all body types. We have this in the shop if you'd like to have an in person view of it.  It's pretty enough to wear for a special occassion but, practical enough for everyday.  You might want to make one in several colors for your summer wardrobe.

We have had this book in stock for awhile now.  Last winter Sandee ordered this for Linda W. and she has yet to make any of the creatures in it.  However...a customer was in last night buying more yarn for the many vegetables she knits up out of all sorts of yarns for her little friends.  She has knit up some of the Amigurumi creatures...and she promised to bring them by so we could get a photo of them.  Toys are a such a fun and creative project to knit or crochet with all sorts of odd bits of yarns.  They are also a way that one can buy perhaps a more luxurious yarn that only requires a skein or two.  If you have toys you've knit or crocheted and would like to share with us we'd love to photograph them and show them off for everyone to enjoy!

Okay so this is crazy! Knitty had this pattern for a wig on it.  I know none of you would wear such a thing out in public but, you have to admit...knitters and crocheters are a creative lot!

"Reminiscent of that time, this "housewife" wig is a result of my experimentation with the tuck stitch mixed with a little bit of my sense of humor." So says Astor Tsang. I'm putting this photo up in honor Sandee's new found passion for riding her fancy new bike.  Who votes that she makes one of these and wears it riding around the Lebanon Green one day this summer?!

Saturday Knitting...

Linda Breault knit this beautiful shawl called Storm Cloud Shawlette...available on Ravelry as a free download by Hanna Breetz.  She changed the bottom edge using a picot edging instead of a ruffle.  Linda said it's a fast and easy knit.

Linda Breault also knit this lovely little cardigan called Mock Cable & Basket Weave.  This is a Yankee Knitter Pattern #23.  She used Cascade's DK Cotton Rich yarn for this sweet little gift.

Margaret Welch and her husband Ron are displaying this beautiful afghan that Margaret knit.  This was knit from Tahki's Cotton Classic.  The pattern she used is Lacy Afghan by Bernat's Design Studio.

Linda, Izzy, Nancy, Edith and Maggy are all enjoying the class by Christiane Burkhard.  They are all learning to make the Basil hat that she designed.  This fun hat was inspired by the colorful onion domes of the St. Basil Cathedral in Moscow.

Isabel knit this Girlfriend Market Bag that is available as a free pattern.  She knit this out of a novelty yarn that we have on sale in the shop.

Linda knit this Adult Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmerman.  She used Katmandu yarn.  The hat is also an Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern called Snail Hat.  This was knit with Lamb's Pride... double stranded for a very thick and heavy hat that can stand up on its own!  We have these patterns in the shop as well as lots of colors of Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride and Katmandu.  The buttons in this sweater are handmade handfused art glass by Bonnie Maresh...we have some of her buttons in the shop for sale.
