Many many new samples

When I got back from vacation on Monday, we all had a show and tell with the things we've finished recently. Betsy finished her Einstein Jacket (from the Knit Stitch) out of Lamb's Pride Bulky in Khaki #18. And believe it or not, it was cold enough last Sunday that she WORE it! She said it was really chilly and windy, and the jacket was perfect at cutting out most of the wind.

Michele brought in her Tara Jacket in Berroco Trilogy. The pattern is on the cover of Berroco Book #254/Trilogy. The jacket is just adorable - really flattering. She did a great job, and we can't wait for her to wear it! Barb brought in a number of things - she finished the lacy camisole out of Colinette Lasso. It's really pretty by itself, and would look great under a nice jacket for this fall/winter.

She also finished a really cool sweater (Lacy Sleeved Pullover) in Cleckheaton Studio Mohair 8-ply. The sleeves are worked first, and then you pick up and knit down for the front and the back. It's really a nice design with a great fit.

She started the Diamanta Shawl (she's using Frog Tree Alpaca) and brought that in to show us. It's so neat and fun to do. She's teaching a lace class on this so if you want to sign up, stop in or give us a call!

She's finishing the sleeve caps on a Giotto sweater that one of our sample knitters knit for us this summer. We thought there was an error in the instructions for the sleeve, and we called Colinette, but they never got back to us about it and so we're going to figure it out on our own. The sweater is adorable - with a ruffled collar and ruffles on the sleeves. Barb's mom was nice enough to make us the Strawberry Lace Scarf out of the Cleckheaton Studio Mohair (this is a NICE yarn!) It's really cute and a pretty simple lace pattern.
My little top down childrens pullover sweater is finished - we ALL love the yarn (Lang Mille Colori.) There are so many colors in each ball. It's a blend of wool and acrylic, and it's washable and soft. Perfect for kids and adults.Berroco sent us a little baby kimono sweater out of Pure Merino. This yarn is a big hit - so soft, washable, great colors. We love it. We just got in assorted wooden shawl pins from Frog Tree Alpaca. They are lightweight, so they won't pull too much on your shawl, and they work great on all weights of yarn. They are $38 and will be online soon.
