New Books

An impressive yet easy to knit scarf in the style of a great Italian designer.The chevrons are worked with single increases and decreases – no knots in your fingers trying to knit complicated double decreases and no double increases where the stitches get tight and hard to work with…
You can download the pattern for the Zickzack Scarf for free on Ravelry. The pattern is super easy.



We received a shipment of Mille Colori Baby today. 4 balls (2 balls each of 2 colours) is what we used to make our ZickZack samples.

This is a brand new colour - 106 Rainbow. We might need a brand new ZickZack for the store.

New books came today as well.
Combining the most popular blanket patterns from Noro magazine with several brand new and exclusive designs, Knit Blankets: 25 Colorful & Cozy Throws is the ultimate collection of knit afghans, blankets and throws. With simple textures, modular projects, graphic intarsia and more, these blankets are as diverse and fun to knit as their colors are vibrant. Knit with Noro's trademark self-striping colorways, as well as their stunning solids, these blankets will brighten your home and warm your heart.
Japanese stitch patterns are eye-catching and much sought after by devotees, but before now, they often seemed out of reach, whether locked behind Japanese only instructions or tangled up in difficult-to-decipher illustrations. Japanese Stitches Unraveled offers 150 rare patterns inspired by these elusive and intricate Japanese stitch designs, along with fully illustrated charts, familiar symbols, and clear instructions for every single stitch. Each stitch pattern receives Bernard’s unique four direction makeover—top-down, bottom-up, back-and forth, and in-the-round. Bernard also includes instructions for six garments as well as her famous formulas for knitting without a pattern. 
We're getting ready for Christmas dinner at my house. It looks like a small crowd this year. Only 29. Of course Beth has games planned. If you've been to Knitting Camp you know that Beth loves coming up with something new and different for Thursday evening.

I'm very late tonight. We watched Survivor and now we are finding out the singers on The Masked Singer. I'm going to be tired tomorrow morning.

  1. I have to commend you, Julie, on your almost continual daily blogging.
    That's a lot of work, besides all the day to day of running a successfully store, along with some great staff! Well done!
