What's New and Upcoming Classes

New for April:  Kollage's latest kit just arrived. 
It's a darling cabled toddler's hat with lots of color choices. 


New pattern!  ZuZu's Petals lace cowl adds elegance to any outfit, casual or formal. The design tapers at the back neck, making it very comfortable.  Vivian knit this one in Malabrigo's 'Arroyo' blend of soft gray-blue with flecks of gold--gorgeous.


We still have some openings in next week's classes:  Helen's Mystery project, Sharon's Crochet Lace Cardigan, and Carol's Beaded Mohair Scarf and Beret classes.

Malabrigo "Finito" is here!



Once a year lambs are sheared of their coat, and once a year Malabrigo is able to go in and purchase the cream of the crop. This yarn is unbelievably super, super soft and very luxurious. The yarn they have created is a kettle dyed, "fingering" weight, 50 gram skeins with 200 yards per skein. It uses #2-4 needles. This yarn is a limited edition. Once it is gone, it is gone!
