koigu on a cold winter's day...


In the blink of an eye, I ordered it, and it came.  Where we're putting this amazing shipment of kpm and kpppm, I have no idea.  Perhaps I'll just leave it all over the table and stare it for a while, or maybe I'll actually start crocheting the most gorgeous blanket on the planet.  Either way, I'm always so happy when we get a shipment of Koigu.  Love through color for sure.  We had a lot fun shipments this week, Namaste sent us a batch of their ingenious circular needle cases (pictured below), Bitty Bags, and mini pouches (which are adorable).  I'm in the process of getting them up online...

Our dear friend Kirsten, swung down for a visit (of course I missed her) to stock our Through the Loops binder full of fabulous patterns.  I neeeeeeed to knit an Ida's Kitchen really bad.  For the past few weeks, I've been filling a ton of online orders for Blue Sky sport weight, and feeling a little jealous.  It's my favorite hat right now, it would be nice if I actually had one!


Let's see, what else, oh um just a couple of baskets full of Jade 2-ply cashmere, here's a little handful of the colors we got in last week.  They look really pretty together.  I love Tea Leaves...


It's a little dangerous owning a yarn store, as you can only imagine!!! You see a sweater you'd love to knit, but of course you can't just knit it out of the bajillions of different yarns you already have in your store, you need to order all new yarns in a ton of new colors.  So I ordered a bunch of 2-ply, I have some Tosh Merino light set aside along with Kidsilk Haze, and I still can't make up my mind.  Here's the sweater, isn't it great?  It's in the Helga Isager's book, Strikketoj, it's the Dropped Stitch Sweater and I really need to knit it!


Alright, back to being indecisive about colors and yarns, too much to choose from I guess.  Happy knitting everyone and remember free shipping through January is coming to a close in a few, take advantage of this great deal!!  oh ps...  Vintage Modern Knits by Courtney Kelly & Kate Gagnon Osborn just walked through the door, we'll pre-sale only a handful, the rest is for the book signing on February 19th.  Stay tuned for more on this fantastic book and event!!!
