Brianna,our Knitty Intern

Brianna Baker,our intern for the Kid's Camp is modeling this Cotton/Acrylic fab top that Jane knit in Wildflower. It's a very versatile yarn and works up in lace like a dream. Very soft and comfortable. We found the pattern in Summer 07 Knitters Magazine. This is the small size in Orange. Wildflower comes in lots o' colors: lavender,purple,pink,baby blue,bright pink,red,and cream.So if you're a natural fiber girl you'll LOVE this top all year 'round.

kathy's odds and ends Lace Shawl

Kathy Holt spins and knits lace like a fool! A lovely knitting fool who makes the most beautiful shawls out of her handspun you'll ever want to see. she loves color and wouldn't think to make a single color anything. her ahndspuns are usually multi-colored and Zowie powie in texture and colors. Come in on a Tuesday am and you'll find her knitting away happily. She visits on Friday a.m.s occasionally for our "Yak and Spin" time from 10-Noon. "Yak and Spin" is Free and open to anyone who spindle or wheel spins just to commune with other spinners. Kathy's shawl pictured above is in the shop on display. We have lots of lace weight yarns and will be getting more in for fall August thru Sept.

Sis,Gabriella with friend Maranda

Knitting away! Must pass on the skills to the younger set or lose them. Studies show the younger they start knitting the longer they knit.It's a great life long skill for any human bean! Helps sooooooooooooo much with stress release and the fun of it and the challenge is great too.

Be Sweet Sweater

Here is a picture of our recently completed sample of Be Sweet's Magic Cardigan. Marylou Andes knit it and said it was a fun project. She enjoyed choosing the yarns and using the Magic Balls to knit. We fudged on the materials a little and put in some odds an ends of matching yarns in our chosen colorway. The Magic Ball was the inspiration for the colors and fibers to start with for sure.We chose Tudor Rose for a fresh springy look.It is an Advanced Beginner pattern,one size fits most, NOT. It is a small,like size 6,8,10ish...............that not most if you ask me,well not in my Fab 50 world anyway! We have this yarn and the pattern at the shop.
Se ya soon,
Celia
