madelinetosh merino dk...


With every shipment of Madelinetosh, comes a wave of inspiration and new ideas for projects!  Thanks to our ingenious friend, Kpoz (ravelry name), we're continuously being introduced to the patterns we must have missed while on our quest to fill up our ques.  One cardigan she pointed out to me, which I really like, is the New York Cardigan.  It's a top down sweater (I think) which means it'll be a quick knit, and it's perfect for spring either out of the suggested Blue Sky Alpacas Silk or Madelinetosh merino dk,  you can find the pattern here on ravelry.  Another cardigan idea is the Abalone, which is a free pattern btw...  It's a toss up, maybe I need both, and these amazing colors make it really hard to choose.  I love the two colors I posted above: Clover and below: Thoreau...

We're also restocked on One World's gorgeous hand carved horn and bone buttons, as well as new shawl closures and notions from Lantern Moon.  I love their new Knit Out Boxes, we have them in every color.  I haven't had a chance to get them on the website, so if you have any questions about ordering, feel free to give the shop a call and we'll have one out to you right away.  Happy knitting everybody!!!

Stratum...



A few weeks ago, a customer came into the shop wearing the most adorable beret that her grandmother had knit for her years ago.  She didn't have the pattern, so the hunt began.  Hmmmm well wouldn't you know, it exists indeed and it's the Stratum Beret from Kelbourne Woolens (of course)!  It took 2 skeins of Terra, and knit up in a couple of days.  I've been in love with their new colorways, and my daughter chose Sorrel weeks ago for a hat, so that was that!  Courtney Kelly of Kelbourne Woolens, just had her latest design, the Lace Cardi in Vogue Knitting, did you see this ?  I need to knit this asap, I can't wait.

I just ordered Savannah today in every color, it's a gorgeous Dk blend of wool, cotton, linen and soya- perfect for spring.  Now I just need to decide on a color...

Yesterday, we received a rather large shipment of Madelinetosh merino light and merino dk.  I don't really need to tell you how absolutely stunning these colors are, I actually grabbed 2 skeins of tosh merino light in Well Water and Amber Trinkett for a change since I keep missing out on it.  I'm going to try my best to get it up on the website, but it's flying out the door so fast. By the time I'm done shooting the pictures, there won't be much left.  I'll attempt that tomorrow, today I'm busy thinking about patterns for my tosh merino light...
