Lots of Stuff Going On!

Wow! What a busy week it has been. We have been getting a bunch of new yarns in at the store. I picked up a yarn that is very abnormal for me. I usually avoid bulky yarn at all costs. I tend to get easy and don't want to wear a heavy sweater, but I loved this new yarn (Vignette by Nashua). I thought the colorway was gorgeous, and boy is it a fast knit. I did this in just a few hours.

I also started knitting Patrick's top-down sweater using the yarn I bought at Stitches Midwest. It is a great alpaca and merino blend. I think that it will be very cozy for him on those snowy January days.

I also finished my own top-down sweater. It is so nice and will be perfect for a rainy October day. (I was a little unhappy with the way it blotched, but I think it gives it character.)

I added a top-down class for November/December. It should be a lot of fun. I also added a Lucy Bag class, Intarsia, and Finishing class. If you are interested, please stop in the store to sign up soon. (You could get your class materials for 20% regular priced yarn and 40% of clearance through 9/1/07.)

Next weekend, I plan to work on the Beaded Shawlette all weekend. I'm going to work on the Lucy Bag and instructions the rest of today.
