New Goodies to Explore

It looks like spring may finally be here - although it was cold this morning - the sun is shining and the weather man has promissed us 18 degrees - yahoo.

The "Sit and Knits" are becoming quite popular - friendships are being built and it's wonderful to see all that come having a great time.  Our "Sit and Knits" are normally between 1-3pm.

We have some new goodies at the store:

Malabrigo Lace - wow what beautiful colours!

If you're a SOCK knitter come check this out!
The Araucania is a wonderful addition to the sock yarn "buffet"
AND we can't forget the bright and fun colours we have just received in the "World of Circus"  Regia Sock  
Ella Rae Lace - what more is there to say!

Now here is a picture of our friend Sherry - there are some that had "doubts" that she would ever finish a project - TADA - her first project completed and in just ONE day, to boot it's a beautiful mobius done in Malabrigo Rasta.  WAY TO GO Sherry - we knew you could do it.  It looks gorgeous :) 

Have a great weekend :)
