Sundays...

You've been asking, and we're making it happen! The shop will be open on Sundays from 12-4 starting this Sunday... very exciting!!! I've been working on a few things that I'm dying to share, but this rain has put a "damper" on me being able to shoot a few pics...
On another note, the Madeline Tosh is gorgeous, and has been a real hit around here, I can hardly wait for our next shipment... I'll be adding pictures and more details soon, in the meantime, I have to knit my Etole la Droguerie out of Madeline Tosh sock, and Rowan Kidsilk Haze... Au revoir, happy knitting!!!

Wesley's scrap hat...

Lately, with all the teething going on, there have been many hours spent just walking the floors. I have to admit, with a face this cute, I hardly mind. With that being said, there's been little time or energy to post anything new on the blog, but I thought this was so adorable, so I had to share it... I noticed that I had these leftovers in a bowl at home, and of course, they just so happened to be the perfect colors, if put together, for a baby hat! I used a variety of different weights from Aspen to Unikat, just to give it some texture. I casted on 88 stitches on a us 7 16"circular, knit about 6.5 inches and then started my decreasing. I knit in st st, except for my color change rows, where I purled the new color. It's so sweet on him, and a great way to use some of your stash, you know, that thing that haunts us all?

It looks like some of my Madeline Tosh is on it's way as of today, now I can get ready to cast on for the Tempest cardigan, I've been waiting forever to find the right yarn, and this might be it!! The colors of Madeline Tosh sock are gorgeous, and with their permission I'm going to post a couple of pics from their website... Here is poprocks...


turquiose...
with which I may alternate with kale..

We'll see when the colors arrive in a few days- very exciting... We've also received fabulous new patterns from Coco knits and Mac and Me... I'm in love with Yvonne from Coco knits, I'm thinking Classy in Midnight Derby, or maybe Malabrigo worsted in Marron Oscuro.. Or maybe even one in both, what's not to love about this design... Check it out...



Ok, enough blogging, I have to put some yarn away and then get ready for tonight's class, then dinner reservations at 6:30, then get home and wrap birthday presents for Scarlett's 5th birthday (I can't believe that!), then make cupcakes for school tomorrow, and then........ maybe even knit a row or two!!
