Marblz

Marblz, the latest from Knitter's Pride, get their name from the marble like coloration of the material. These beautiful acrylic needles have a different color depending on what size you order.

We have ordered a few sizes of interchangeable tips to try and they should be here the middle of September.

I've had a few requests for the name of a shawl that I showed yesterday.

Pattern: Color Block Bias Wrap (pattern purchased on Ravelry)
Yarn: 2 skeins of Classic Elite Chalet in 7403 Steel, 2 skeins of Chalet in 7477 Charcoal, 2 skeins of Classic Elite Chateau in 1456 Amythest

Jennifer just brought in her Itineris. She used Mrs. Crosby Satchel in the colours Boston Fern and Wild Huckleberry. I love how these colours play against each other.

It's almost Big Brother time. There is going to be a lot of lobbying tonight. Will they keep Zach?

FYI - if you follow the store on Facebook, I commented this morning that I forgot to bring knitting to work. There was a small panic attack for a bit but then I realized that I'm surrounded by yarn and could take a ball and start something. It never came to that. I was busy all day helping customers and making kits for the Knitters' Fair. I'm going to knit tonight and then put the knitting bag in the car before bed. Then there won't be any problems tomorrow.
