Pretty Socks & A Potholder

Barb W knit these beautiful socks out of Cascade Heritage.
Barb also knit this pair of pretty socks.  These were knit out of Mountain Colors.
Joanne crocheted this potholder out of cotton.  Fantase Naturale is a perfect yarn for this project.  We have a variety of colors to choose from.  Joanne is going to crochet these up for holiday gifts and give them along with a loaf of bread or a mix of cookies.

Friday Finale....

This week in the shop we've had lots of new projects completed by our great knitting family.  Crocheting is really taking off here...and here is the latest crochet creation made after a much needed break from knitting baby items...
Mary has been crocheting turtles.  She used Noro and Lamb's Pride for this project. She's making a few of these for gifts for the little folks in her life.
Sitting around the table.  Everyone is welcome!
Beautiful Knitting Hands...Isabel.
Linda S. brought these lovely tulips in to celebrate the coming spring.
Barb W. knit these amazing socks up in between knitting her Great American Aran Afghan...last I heard she was on her last square!  There's a secret behind these sock that you'll  have to ask Barb about sometime.  

Ellyn Cooper's lastest design.  This is a capelet that she has recently designed using several of her yarns. She was also knitting up another one in different yarns that was coming out beautifully.  You can choose a variety of Ellyn's yarns to work this project up. That's some of her yarn behind her on the wall.
And of course...the back view. We'll be having a class on this in April.
Nancy...a traveling nurse that has found us during her stay in Windham just completed these couple of pairs of socks.  Lots of nurses come into the shop and find knitting to be such a great way to unwind.  Often time you'll find nursing stories being swapped around in the shop!
She'll be travelling off to New York soon.  We'll miss her fun stories and great smile that she always brightened the shop with!
Kathy P. in another beautiful Japanese Mystery Scarf...this one is made out of cotton.

Paints....yarn or horses!

We are Yarns With A Twist at Rocking Horse Farm!  Here's why....Bruno showing off one of the horses.
Virginia F. in The Traveler's Coat.  She looks gorgeous.
Linda Wa. and 2 of her friends knit up these socks out of the same Fixation Yarn.  The yarn came out completely different for each pair.  It is such a great idea to do this with some of your friends!
Linda says: "At least 2 years ago, but more likely 3 years ago, I bought this yarn and needles for two of my best friends so we could all make socks alike together  - they wanted to branch out from scarf knitting.  One of us lost track of where she put the project and found it when she was getting out Christmas decorations (or putting them away), and of course there was some ripping out/starting over, but last Friday, everyone was finally finished!  So we had to mark the occasion with a photo and this is it!"
Bandit...if only I could fit on this chair.
