Crochet Shawl & End of the World Farm

Bonnie, one of our many talented crocheters here at the shop has been busy crocheting shawls for her daughters upcoming wedding.  This beautiful shawl was made for the Maid of Honor.  Modeling this beauty is Sylvia.  Sylvia has been visiting Christiane from Switzerland for the past couple of weeks with her family.  It has been a pleasure meeting Sylvia.  Classic Elite Silky Alpaca Lace was used for this project.  

We have some wonderful new yarn from End of the World Farm.  This is Tencel which is great for socks, scarves and shawls.  We will be having an upcoming class for a small shawl in the near future. We met Ed and Katie at The New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Festival in the spring.  Ed came by the shop yesterday and delivered this fantastic array of colors for our creative projects.

Sandee also picked out this roving from EOW farm to spin up on her Kromski Traveling Wheel.  

Our good friend Sue on her way into the shop...Christiane caught her on this sunny day!

Crocheting on the edge...a beautiful book for all those crochet stitches you need to learn to help you design new crochet projects....or to finish off those knitted project that need a special border.

Bonnie who is one of our wonderful crocheters at the shop made this lovely little dress.  Look at those crocheted flowers...so sweet.

Milva also crocheted this neck tie out of the same yarn using the FPHDC (1/2post stitch).  

Faith K. knit this dramatic Ruana Shawl by Oat Couture.  She used yarn from her stash...any Aran or Worsted yarn would work for this project.  When Faith swept into the store we had to buy this beautiful pattern.  We got the pattern in and it immediately sold out...we are getting more in shortly.

Sam H. knit this great market bag.  It was knit up on Glamor that is on sale right now.  

Joanne knit this sweet little drawstring bag out of Berrocco suede yarn.  This would be a great little bag for your iphone, ipod or as a little gift bag for a special gift.
