Not much to show you right now. Just garter stitch.
It's nice to have a garter stitch project on the go for those evenings when you don't want to think. Or count.
I'm having a hard time writing tonight. I'm texting with two people, playing a game on my iPad and trying to type. Not going well. I'm trying to concentrate on each chore but I don't think it's working.
The first clue arrived this afternoon for the Sunstruck KAL. If you are interested in joining you will find it on Ravelry.
I wore these shoes to work today and picked my colours for Sunstruck to match them. (There is a bit of shoe theme happening this week.) Yes the colours are very boring for me but sometimes you have to use colours you normally wouldn't.

-weathered frame (this colour was sent in error but I really like it)
-whiskey barrel
We might as well stay on the shoe theme and talk about some new sock yarns that we have in the store.
And then a little surprise. I've kept this a secret for a long time. We have a shipment of sock yarn coming from Zen Yarn Garden early next week. This is a picture that was taken before the box was packed.
Did you know that we send out a separate newsletter about sock yarns? You can email me if you would like to receive these emails or you can click "Join The Needle Emporium Mailing List" in the top right hand corner of this page.All skeins completely one-of-a-kind (OOAK).
