TKGA Conference

Just returned from the TKGA knitting conference in Manchester,NH. It was a great time being surrounded by knitters and crocheters for 4 days. I took 5 classes and learned many new things to pass on to customers. The market was still showing shawls, especially lace. I am working on many new samples for the store. New fall yarns will arrive in late August so stop by and browse.

New England Needlework Association Show

Sunday,May 1,2010 Diane,Marlene and i will attend the NENA trade show. This is a chance to see whats new and what to plan for fall yarns. It is always very exciting. Come in next week to ask what's new in the knitting/crochet world. Hopefully there will be a few treasures we can bring home to share right away.

Flooding

I hope all of you and your stashes made it through all this rain! Luckily my stash is on the second floor! Is anyone doing summer knitting projects? I am working on a pair of cotton socks ( I wear them all year round) and I am blocking a summer shawl made out of Noro Tayio yarn. Diane has a summer wrap on display that makes jeans as well as dresses look great. Come on by and check things out. Please be aware that we are now closed on Sundays until the fall. Check out Cascade Yarns website for free patterns!

When will this weather get better

Hi everyone!

I don't know about you but I am ready for some nicer weather. As it get nicer many of you begin your outside activities. Don't leave your knitting behind. There are many small projects for spring and summer knitting. Many of you have come into the shop and started your holiday knitting for December 2010. In November you will be happy you did. Keep Knitting and stop by and show us what you are working on.
