Scarves, Hats & Mittens Oh My!

Christmas has past...however, the projects keep flowing off the needles.  Here are a few of the projects we've enjoyed seeing at the shop.

Norma knit this scarf called The Japanese Mystery Scarf.  The yarn used was one of Shaeffer's beautiful laceweight yarns. The pattern is available at the shop. She looks beautiful in it!



Isabel knit this Not So Lacey Lace Scarf and Ann Norling 54 Spiral Rib Hat. Both were knit out of Cascade 220 washable wool.


Isabel also knit these mittens from an old pattern that she has, called The Classic Mittens & Gloves For The Entire Family.  The yarn used for these mittens was Cascade 220 washable wool.



Kathy knit this baby sweater Mock Cable & Basket Weave Sweaters #23.  The yarn used was Cascade 220 superwash wool.


Sue Polomski knit this gorgeous
Short Row Multi-Directional Scarf by Ann Norling.
The yarn used is Zauberball.  Both the pattern and yarn are available at the shop.  Other colors also available.




The Knit Kit is a fun new knitting tool available at the shop.  Perfect for travel...keeping all your knitting notions in one unit.  It's approved for airline travel!



The shop will be open New Year's Eve day our regular hours 11-5pm...we will be closing for New Year's Eve for our open knit night. We will also be closed for New Years Day.  Open again on Saturday January 2.

Need A Hat? by Cabin Fever
The weather has turned frigid this week and we are knitting hats! This fabulous book allows you to knit hats for all ages, all sizes, all gauges (tension), all weights of yarn...yes! Fourteen styles of hat includes toques, caps, flap caps and pillboxes. Plain, textured, fair isle and cables too.  Beginner to intermediate levels. Something for every man, woman, child, infant, grandparent and friend that you have. You can knit some from the bottom up and some are knit from the top down. Even one with a cable knit sideways. All hats in the book can be knit in any size and in any gauge. Come by and pick up a copy of the booklet or wait for a new copy to arrive shortly.

Sandee was inspired to knit an ear flap hat for her grandson by a new customer that came intothe shop to knit her very first hat...an ear flap hat! The hat was knit out of Louet Gems.
