Check This Out!!

Cabin Fever's "BABY J" Sweater. I have had the pattern for a while but never the time or inclination to knit one up. While at the Sheep and Wool, I spotted a really interesting Toddler Sweater. Upon inspection....."Baby J"!!!!!

Came right home, grabbed Patons Jacquard Yarn and here it is...The cutest sweater ever!!!!

I brought the patterns and yarn to the Granite State Knit In...Sold every skein of yarn and every pattern I had with me for that sweater!!! Just getting them back in stock and ready to ship out to a few who had to wait!! They are on their way, ladies.

QUICK LITTLE UPDATE...

MID-WINTER HELLO....ahhhh remember that Sunshine???

Just wanted to answer a question that has been brought to my attention...

YES...an ASTOUNDING YES....A Knitter's Garden is alive and very WELL!! So well, infact, I have not had the time to even think of updating my blog in quite some time. My classes have been very sucessful, leaving me little time for blogging...Sorry...I will try in the next few weeks to update...It is difficult to run a business alone. Even a small one, I have a family and mini farm to attend to as well as my yarn shop. My blog takes second place above the others.

I am planning some Specials for the month of March. As soon as I have it all planned, I'll post it right here plus send out an email to those who have an active address listed with me.

I am sure, you feel as I do.....Can't wait for SPRING!! Winter this year has been tough. Lots of storms, wind and COLD!!!

Jen of Seacoast Handpainted Yarns and I created two new Winter Colorways..."Winter Solstice" and "Nor'easter"...both are lovely and doing well, thank you. Stop by to see a sample. Jen has been doing quite a bit of custom dying for my customers...Check out her wedsite for colorways, new or tried and true tones. She does great work, take advantage of her talent and have some yarn dyed especially for you or a loved one...

Well, once again...I need to run...or rather walk, I have a very sore back these last few weeks...Gathering up a project, cuppa something warm and my trusty Heating Pad...Until next time..."Keep Those Needles Clicking" Joanne

Newest ColorWay

Jen, my yarn colorist, and myself have created two new Seasonal Colorways...They are both being introduced at our Holiday Fair...I will give you a peek into their content but NOT the colors......You have to be patient and wait for that!
***The First is titled..."Nor'easter"... a delightfully soft superwash Australian wool of a dk weight...***The Second is titled..."Winter Solstice"...You will discover a bolder colorway, also a superwash Australian wool in a true worsted weight yarn, soft and toasty warm, perfect for a Cowl, Hat or Scarf.
***Since both selections are superwash, Children's Hats, Mittens or Sweaters are a perfect choice for this HIGHLY Machine Washable/Dryable Yarn. And MUCH warmer than an Acrylic Blend...Baby Safe and Soft!!!

I will take a pic of the samples as I complete them...Check back...
