Warehouse Wednesday’s Return!

Check out this week’s Warehouse Wednesday!

As we approach another Warehouse Wednesday, the buzz word around the conference table was “soft”.  Soft to the touch, soft for the eyes, and soft on the wallet!   Okay, so by conference table, we mean over by the merino, left of the cotton!

First off this week, we have the always beautiful Aurora 8 from Karabella.  We are offering more then 30 colors of this soft as a cloud Italian Merino, for only $5 a skein!  At this price, the time is now for that huge cuddly blanket you have always dreamed of.

Also this week, we have Mandarin Petit from Swedish Yarns. This fabulous 100% cotton is soft as the cotton fluff ball of your dreams, all at the very soft price of only $3 a skein!

   And to paraphrase Roosevelt, knit softly and carry a big knitting needle!

One wall of the Main St. shop!

 

Yarn Bus in the Snow

Just the beginning

Snow is predicted to be 10″ – 14″ in our area.  Stay warm, and knit through the storm!

Finished Projects

I love it when it’s cold enough to wear this scarf!

Holding a strand of Manos Del Uruguay’s Limited Edition colorways, plus a strand of Colinette’s Mohair, this simple broken rib is warm enough for the coldest days.

Anyone Else Care To Go To Scotland Now?

Are you kidding me with the serious amount of cuteness? Shetland Ponies in Shetland Wool sweaters, brought to us by the ingenious people of the national tourist board of Scotland.

If anything could convince me to go to Scotland, it is these ponies.

Maxima Maxima Everywhere!

This photo doesn’t do this color justice!

For those of us that were waiting on the brights in Maxima to arrive from Uruguay, wait no longer!   This picture doesn’t even do this color justice;  Check out our photo online here.

Lulu loves to get her spook on!

Currently knitting…

You all may remember how impressive Elise’s knitting is, to me, at least (in my unbiased opinion) and I have more to add to the list!

Elise is working on a lifetime project;  Blankets for all of her kids.  Look at mine!   My mom is the best.  This one is number three, and at about half way through the next one, she has hit the halfway mark!  Just add blankets for the grand kids, though, and the queue keeps on growing…

Elise isn’t the only one knitting blankets these days, I have caught the blanket bug myself!

Interesting yarn, big needles, simple patterns = awesome fast blankets!  Also large needles:

US 50′s gave me a nice big stitch for this chair slip cover.

Wooly Wooly out of the barn

I love the day when we get to bring Wooly Wooly out to graze!

She was enjoying her glorious sunny day until…

She needed a bath anyway…

The Battle of the Promotional Vehicles

Who do I see when I pulled up to the grocery store the other day, but the fine people of Oscar Mayer, with their drivable, giant hot dog.   As the yarn bus was tucked in for the night, I was in my car; I always get a little defensive when other people have their eye catching rides, and I don’t.

Okay, so “battle” is maybe a little strong of a word.  Probably, “friendly feud”, would be a better description.  Or just “friendly,” really.  I love hot dogs!

Made by the same people that made our Yarn Bus!  Which one is cooler?  You be the judge…

Wooly Wooly in the barn

As the unofficial summer comes to a start, we have our unofficial mascot getting ready:

She is busy preening herself to be prepared for all of the pictures!
