Amsterdam Zuiderkerk-5" of snow!

Remember Sara who was a volunteer at the Purl? She is in Amsterdam going to school for her Masters with her Boyfriend.They are coming home to USA, well right now, and will be in the shop in January. Check out your emails for exact time or look at the class schedule calender on The Purl site. Isn't this a beauty of a picture? Sara is busy with school mostly but is involved in a knitting group with a lot of famous knitters . Their names escape me right now! Evidently they are VERY serious about what they do. Well, you won't find that at The Purl. We're serious about knitting but not about ourselves. We do have fun! Stop in and unwind. Don't forget the Super Bowl Sunday Sale and Frolic. Toodles,Celia

Howdee!

It's fall and the knitters are running rampant. TK and her gang have come up with another winner. Check out the naked sheep.com for the free cupcake hat pattern. It's a girly girl kid hat. Anyone make it for adults? We made it out of Plymouth's Cleckheaton pink DK AND CREAM PUNTA LAVA AND some fluffy Fizz from Crystal Palace. Use brown for chocolate and how about beading the top with bugle beads for sprinkles. A Cherry is a red felted ball...Beyond cuteness. I'll put a pic up soon.

Picture coming soon! OK,so I can't get the picture to the text. It must be too large. Kathy Holt spent a Tuesday afternoon in December 2007 knitting,teaching and playing the harp for us with her traveling harp. She has a big harp at home. It doesn't like to go out much.

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.

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.
