In the past, we’ve prepared for our trips to Market with a “Going to Market Sale,” discounting older stock to make room for all the new yarns we’ll order for the Fall and Winter. This year, TNNA came a month early, so rather than a “Going to Market Sale,” we’re announcing a “Post-Market Sale!” From Friday May 23rd through June 29th, … [more]
It’s time again for show-and-tell! We’re fortunate to see many knit and crochet projects come through the shop, and when I’m able, I like to photograph them and share them here on the blog. René brought in her “Celeste,” a beautiful beaded lace shawl knit in Swans Island Organic Merino Fingering. René designed, named, and knit … [more]
The Summer 2014 issue of Interweave Knits is here! Inside are all manner of summertime garments: tops and tees for warm weather, shawls and cardigans for chilly air-conditioning. Thumbing through this issue, I saw some familiar yarns. Here’s Fibre Company Meadow, held double in a lace tank. And here’s a little review of Sincere … [more]
I have many loves when it comes to yarn and knitting, but right now, Shibui is at the forefront. Each time new colors come in to the shop, I find myself pairing and grouping them again.

As I put out the new colors, I often arrange them in a spectrum, play with color combinations, and generally admire the stuff. Thinking of … [more]
Another Spring magazine has found its way to the shop: Vogue Crochet is here. This issue is full of crocheted garments and accessories, from sweaters and jackets to tunics and shawls. I also spotted some helpful technique articles: one on crocheted edgings, and one showing how to increase and decrease in pattern to shape crocheted … [more]

Another day of yarn-ordering is behind us, and we have so many good things coming for the fall! Early in the day, we checked in with Malabrigo.

It’s been another busy day here at market, walking the showroom floor, seeing the latest yarns from some of our favorite vendors, and placing orders, of course. The wild and colorful Alchemy booth was our first stop this morning. It was, as always, delightful to catch up with Gina and Austin Wilde, seeing their newest … [more]
