Temperance Shawl

We have another Malabrigo sample that has been hiding for a while. I found it this afternoon. Lynn is going to steam it and it will be on display on Saturday. This is the Temperance Shawl (pattern purchased on Ravelry) knit with 3 colours of Malabrigo Sock on 4mm needles. I’ve had fun making up kits.



I found our Pressed Flowers. I’ll make kits for this tomorrow.
We have something new from Cocoknits. This is the Project Keeper. At this time we only have the Keeper in Gray.
  • Box made of washable Kraft paper fabric
    • Box comes in Gray or Kraft color
    • Folders and tags are white and made of recycled paper
  • Clear package window is biodegradable PLA
  • Dimensions:
    • Box: 5.75" / 4.5 cm wide x 6" / 15 cm long x 5.75" / 14.5 cm high
    • Folders: 5.5" / 14 cm x 5.5" / 14 cm
    • Tags: 3.75" / 9.5 x 5" / 12.5 cm

Use the folders and tags to keep all the details of any project organized in this retro style box. Knitting, crochet, quilting, needlework, and more - record the tools, pattern, sizes, materials, recipient, and other important information. Keep the tag with the project for notes on the go, then file in the Project Keeper when complete. The folders can hold a swatch, yarn labels, fabric samples and other materials, along with the project tag. 

These are available online and in the store. 





Beth is running errands and then bringing home dinner. Dad and I have been busy making brownies. Then I did some website updating. We received a few new colours of Kathmandu Fingering. An order for Cascade has been sent in. Now I’m going to say good evening. We have football tonight but it could be an early evening. We watched a movie last night called Lion. It was a great movie but boy did I cry. There were a lot of sad parts and then the ending was happy which led to more crying. Even dad was crying at the end. It was hard falling asleep after the movie which meant a migraine today. Thank goodness I have medication that works quickly. Lynn and I had a great day in the store - thanks to everyone who visited.
