Squares

I need to start a new project. Addi sent me a surprise today - advanced sets of the Rocket Interchangeable Needle Sets. Sets will be available in the store later this summer.
Why a new project? The Square needles could result in a different tension than regular Addis. You might not see it but ...

We have more Gleeners on the way to us. The Gleener is great for taking the pills off your garments. Lynn and I have Gleeners and highly recommend them.

  • Edge #1: Ideal for big & bulky pills like those found on heavy woolens, blends and synthetics.
  • Edge #2: Best for medium pilling like those found on cashmere, merino and finer wools. It also works great on fleece.
  • Edge #3: Revitalizes your summer knits, t-shirts, silk blends and ultra delicates by removing fine pills.
  • In this special edition kit, you get 2 x each edge for twice the gleening power
Smaller than a glasses case, the Gleener Mini is a must-have for last minute wardrobe touch-ups. 3 fabric-friendly edges eliminate pilling while an uber-handy lint brush dusts away pet hair and dandruff.



Rossetti is another free pattern from Rowan (you can download it on Ravelry). The sweater is knit in Summerlite DK.
This short sleeve summer top features in the Summerlite DK collection by Martin Storey. The design features a scoop neck with button detailing and lace panels making it suitable for the knitter with some experience.

Last Day

Frabjous Fibers has introduced So Fond of Rainbows. This is a pack of 20 mini skeins. The cardigan is knit with the fingering weight set. The pattern is called Rainbows in the Gorge and you can purchase it on Ravelry.

The rainbow baby blanket hanging on the wall is knit with the worsted weight version of a So Fond of Rainbows kit. It is called the Colorburst Blanket.


I forgot that I took a picture of the baby blanket on it’s own.

This shawl is called Which Way (purchased on Ravelry). It is knit with a Mad Hatter Combo kit - sport weight yarn.

The yarn from Frabjous is in my car and we will have in the store tomorrow. You can see all the yarns from Frabjous Fibers that we carry.

There were lots of pretty colours in the madelinetosh booth. An order should be coming in July with merino light.
We love Rowan Felted Tweed. There will be new colours coming for fall.







We went to Nationals Park to see the Washington Nationals play the Chicago Cubs last night.

Our seats were great!
It was so hot out. Beth and the beer man became close friends.
