Awesome Thursday!!

Some days everything falls into place and you feel fabulous at the days end. Yesterday was the day this week. Our Wednesday knitting group has stepped up the Xmas knitting and some returned on Thursday to keep going.
Mittens, Baby Bolero, baby socks, lace shawl, cable hat, felted mittens, honeycomb hat/mitts, thrum mittens, sweater, gift dishcloths, cowl, fingerless, scarf... and more to come.
When knitters are happy the room fills with laughter... thanks to Rhichard Devrieze, who popped in to knit with us... BTW - Ruth has a new job - snow removal I think..

Eco Alpaca is our new store mascot this week. 100% alpaca chunky weight = yummy and warm
Eco cloud follows in a close second. Hudson and Murrino both have tons of multi colours for cowls, scarves etc... Oh, and Soakbox fingerless kits are heading out for Xmas gifts. I want to be on the receiving end of that!!
So enjoy your weekend. I'm working on a special gift for a friend. You'll see the pics soon enough... Ciao

Spring Sweater Knitting

Who's tired of the cold winter winds and ready to knit a great Spring sweater?  Well, I think many of us are ready for those tulips and crocuses to show up.  Have you heard about Joji's Boxy sweater line up? These easy fit fun toknit sweaters have been designed in several styles and yarn weights.  Have a  look...  The Boxy was Joji's first design like this. It has a unique construction with interesting details and lots of easy knitting.  Boxy  is a very simple modern sweater, with a very wide body and skinny sleeves. Worked with a lightweight yarn it is very flattering, drapey and stylish!  A little short row section in the shoulders adds an interesting texture to the sleeves.  Directions are given to make a seamless version (worked in the round) or a seamed version (worked back and forth) of the body. The sleeves and the neckband are worked seamlessly in the round in both versions. As per Joji's description.  Then comes the worsted weight knit vers
