.......Cheryl Perkins.......

I had my first customer of the day, Cheryl Bernoth, draw the winning name this morning..........Congratulations Cheryl!!!

This past month, we had 5 participants, so a GC for $40 is waiting for Cheryl to use...

The month of March has 5 weeks in it...$10 for the month, one participant so far has already paid her dues...Come On Ladies...Let's Keep This Going....

Luke.......

This will be my last Update on my Buddy Luke...He is no longer with us. Last Sunday we surrendered him to the NHSPCA. Not our choice or desire but out of necessity...Luke was not a very social guy and our house has people coming in and out all day, especially when the Yarn Shop is open. Luke was very nervous and anxious with all the comings and goings, scared of big people, scared of little people, everything frightened him........A very difficult decision had to be made. Hopefully he is in a better place...Love goes out to you Luke...Lots of Love...

First Drawing....

Friday, February 27th, will be the first drawing of our "Gift Certificate of the Month Club" We had 6 participants, the "GC" will be for $48 to be spent at the Garden, no restrictions on purchases. The March Club starts on March 2nd and continues thru March 30th...5 weeks!! Let's see how many more join in the fun...Thank You Carol for this awesome idea!!

Knitted Projects 101...

Check out this sweater knitted with Universal Yarns......."Tapestry"....Just knit and the yarn gives the look of Fair Isle without the work!!

This sweater was knitted in the Garter Stitch....So very Nice...When knitted in a stockinette stitch, a bolder pattern emerges. This yarn is available at The Knitter's Garden in 10 color ways with solids to coordinate, samples knitted to view patterns for most colors.

Mom, Lorie knitted this sweater for Son, Jonathan, our model. What a handsome guy!!!

The Garden Series Yarns...

Here you have it.....The Garden Series' first yarn, "PURLING PETALS" in all it's glory....knitted by mom, Lorie and modeled by daughter Laurel. The yarn knitted up in such a lovely pattern. I am so pleased with the results...The yarn is wonderful to work with, a DK weight in a Superwash. Lorie did such an awesome job of knitting the Hoodie!!! I do not know which I am more proud of...Lorie's knitting skills or my Purling Petals yarn!!

Coming in Mid-March, the Second Edition of The Garden Series....."Sweet Clover", a light Worsted Weight Wool, 220yds per skein and also a Superwash. The color and texture is soooooo Soft...Can't wait to show you all.....

Our Spring Agenda will bring you......"The Garden Series Lapghan", a Sampler Lapghan featuring each New Color addition, as it matures. Each color will have it's own special stitch patterned square, then they will melt together in a lattice of solid contrasting color. The plan is 3X3, 12" Squares...3 across and 3 down.
A great experience for learning new pattern techniques on an small scale, not overwhelming but a bit of a challenge.
