Gift Certificate of the Month Club...

I am beginning a new venture...Won't you join me??
Gift Certificate of the Month Club...This Basket and a Log book will be on the Table...Here's how it works...
You must sign in the Log Book and place your $2 in the basket each week for one month. At the end of the month, a tally of the cash will be made and a name will be pulled from the participating customers. That Lucky Customer will recieve a Gift Certificate from A Knitters Garden for the full amount of cash collected for that month....And then we start all over again!!

Now, should you happen to belong to RAVELRY, live out of state or just can't get to the shop on a weekly basis, you may still belong to our "Club" via Snail mail...you may send a check for a full month, the week before the first of a new month...either $8 or $10 depending on how many weeks are in that month. I will log you in for the correct number of weeks/months you send money for and you will have the same chance to win as if you were here doing it yourself!!
I will e-mail the winner and send their chosen purchases via ups/uspp at my cost. Our first month will begin now and we will go through to February...it's a short month and mail takes time for those who may want to join us...

Very Exciting Announcement...

A Knitter's Garden along with Seacoast Handpainted Yarns is introducing a new line...The Garden Collection...The first in the Collection has been designed and named after our Knitting Guild..............."PURLING PETALS"... It is a Superwash 100% Wool, DK Weight, 140 yds, #5-6 Needles, 5sts=1" Cost is $17.00 a skein.

My hope is to introduce a new color bi-monthly...designed by Jennifer and myself. This yarn is available exclusively thru AKG at the moment...

Look What Bob and I Created this Season...

Here's a Close Up of Our Master Piece....
A more distant shot...those two bottom windows are the shop...Candles always lit and Welcoming...oops, you can't see the candles...IMAGINE!!
Bob made the Knitting Needles out of broom handle replacements and actually whittled the points by hand!! The Caps are wooden "Apples" that he nailed to the needles. The yarn is just that, Heavy Rug Yarn wrapped over styrofoam balls. I just love it. My brother Russell and my friend Cheryl added their thoughts to the original idea while Brainstorming for the Chester Front Door Contest, which never materialized this year!

Thank you for all the wonderful Compliments we recieved on our design...

Chickens and Eggs...

The Largest and Smallest of our eggs...
A Mountain of Naturally Colored Eggs...
Here some are in all their Glory...
After the Egg Wash...
Let's talk about my newest girls. In the early spring, we got a new brood of baby chicks. 12 of them, all different than we have ever had before...6 Araucana
which lay colored eggs from light blue to olive green...2 White Silkies...teeny weeny beige eggs, they are bantam chicks and I just discovered, one is a rooster...and 4 Cochin...they lay brown eggs and have furry feet as do the Silkies...plus we still have 7 chickens from two years ago...5 hens...who lay white eggs when they feel the need and then my boys...2 Roosters..Alexandro and Budweiser...lovely in color, the guys usually are, reds-golds-iridescent-greens and blues...they are the nicest roosters, such Gentlemen, they wait for all the girls to come out of the small run into the larger, they never go first and when it's time to go back into the coop...they are the last to enter...making sure all the girls are okay!! It is so cute to watch them...Since the girls started laying, they have been very productive. We usually have 2 dozen eggs in the fridge all the time but has been upwards of 8 dozen!! Always ask, they are for sale...You will never eat a store bought egg again once you've had home grown!!! Well, enjoy the pics...
