Psych! I’m not going to go all nostalgic on you and reminisce about this and that. I’m glad we’re still in business, and I hope you got a chance to take advantage of our anniversary sale. We’re all exhausted – it was busy!
Lots of photos to show you:
Aggie Wallace was visiting from Nashville and wore this scarf she made from the free pattern on our website. Doesn’t she look great?
Suzanne Wetmore also modeled a scarf she made in Bubbles from one of our free patterns at the shop, in a wonderful pink/coral:
Janet’s Cabled Mitten Class wound up last week and showed off their finished (for the most part) mittens. Well done, all of you!
Rochelle Mann made this cute baby set from Dreambaby and (of course) her own adaptation of a classic pattern:
Donna Lengel bought this beautiful Noro yarn a few years ago and made most of a cardigan with it. By the time she wanted to finish it, the yarn was discontinued and no longer available and there just wasn’t enough to finish the sleeves, so she flexed and made this great sleeveless jacket, which is very much in fashion and looks just great on her:
I showed you Janice Bieber in her Manos “Mirkwood” a few weeks ago. Then she had the inspiration to make these chunky gauntlets to go with it. She chose a bright color of Haciendo, then embroidered the mitts with leftover Manos. Just stunning!
Virginia Diehl brought in this wonderful Lily of the Valley shawl to show us, made from Silky Alpaca Lace, and bought yarn to make another:
Aaaaagh, all those nupps. Beautiful job!
Deb Schlarb does some wonderfully funky knitting. Here is her son Jonnathan wearing his latest fish hat, and then one she made for his school bus driver:
And these socks, made from leftovers, are from The Knitter’s Book of Socks:
Next project? The craziest tea cozy you ever saw – I can’t wait to see it.
And Stephanie Fishkin makes the most beautiful afghans and baby blankets for her family and friends. The latest one is from Noro Kocheron. She has them monogrammed at Initials Only, now conveniently located right down the avenue from us!
Some of you have asked how my sister’s puppy Gracie is doing, so Janet sent this latest picture. She says it’s her Winston Churchill look, but I personally think she’s channeling W.C. Fields:
Puppies – they grow up so fast!
See you soon, unless you spent all your money at the sale! If so, knit up something fabu and come show us!
Trish
