Wonderland Yarns from Frabjous Fibers!

New Yarn! 

Wonderland yarn from Frabjous Fibers & Wonderland Yarns is the newest yarn at Stash. Mad Hatter is an amazing, soft, sport weight yarn that has fabulous saturated colors. And with colors named after Alice in Wonderland how can you resist?! I love the name "Off with Her Red!" I love the yarn too 

There are also ombre kits available in the yarn Cheshire Cat, a fingering weight yarn, to make shawls or scarves. I recommend the "Down the Rabbit Hole" Shawl, Antarktis, or Reverse Psychology. There is the PERECT amount of yarn for any of these shawls, which means little-to-no left overs!

By the looks of the bottom picture, I'm not sure Aminiko is willing to let go of any of the yarn!

Stuff it Stocking KAL with Ewe Ewe Yarns!

Tis the season!  Are stockings on your knit list this year?  Join me at Stash for a knit-along with Ewe Ewe Yarns to make the Stuff It Stocking.  These stockings will look great on your mantle and will make great gifts too!

Ewe Ewe yarns hosting a KAL for the Stuff it Stocking starting December 4th.  It’s a simple pattern using US8 needles and Wooly Worsted yarn. You can make the stocking even if you’ve never knit a sock before.  And the pattern has a few extra techniques for the more experienced knitter.  You will be finished with your stocking well before Christmas.

Stash has great colors to choose from including traditional colors and non–traditional colors.  

This pattern takes one skein each of three colors.  Join us on Fridays (12/5, 12/12, and 12/19) from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm, for the KAL where you can get help, offer tips, share your color choices, and knit in good company!  You can also follow the KAL on the Ewe Ewe Blog

Here are the dates and topics for each section for the KAL:

Thursday 12/4: Casting on, knitting in the round, working the hem at the top

Tuesday 12/9: knitting the body of the sock and carrying colors while striping

Thursday 12/11: Making the heel flap, turning the heel, knitting the instep

Tuesday 12/16: Decreasing for the toe and Kitchner Stich.

Thursday 12/18: Hang loop i-cord, finishing and blocking.  Santa’s coming!

Tiny Owl Knits takes you on a journey of fairy tales and whimsy as you knit patterns like:

 deer antler hat

 fairy castles (these hold hooks and needles!)

 gnome homes (for your DPN's!)

 hopsalot

wear the wild things are

I can't wait to knit up a few of these projects.  Maybe I'll join Max in his forest of wild thing and knit the crown and sweater.  I will certainly have to have a set of fairy castles for my needles, I can't think of a better way to hold them.  And the gnome homes are a must since I've taken up sock knitting.  All patterns are available at Stash.

Minnie's New Hat

Little Sophie (AKA: Minnie) came to the shop with her mom, picked out the hat and the rest is history. Mom says it's the only hat she will keep on. Maybe because it was "made for her!" Too bad the weather is heating up. The hat pattern is found in the book

Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B. Anderson

Picking up Stitches

I often get people coming to the shop with the question of how to pick up the correct number of stitches in your knitting, such as the collar of a sweater. I found this great article to answer that very question!

New Pink Fig Patterns

Grand Open

Stash has offically moved. It was a crazy mad dash to get everything ready for the grand opening weekend, but we did it. Thank you to all who made it and a big congrats to all the door prize winners!

I have now been in the new space for over a week and am so glad to be here. It is ever so very awesome to have a space of my own (with no stairs and with circulation)! I've added more yarn, fabric, and crafting supplies. With more to come in the upcoming months.

Check out the blog, I'll try realy hard to post more, to see the new things that have arrived.

...and Buttons!

Pretty Pin Cushions

Remember your wrist corsage at you senior prom. Now you can wear one with style. I love having this on when I sew. It's so practical and darn cute to boot. Sometimes I forget I have it on and wear it out of the house.

Great Little Cards

I love making cards. Here is a small sampling of some that I've finished. It's fun to knit up smaller versions of stitches, the fabric cards are a great way to use up small bits of my stash and try new and different color combinations. My favorites out of this bunch are the sweater and the basket weave stitch cards.

We are so excited to have Pink Fig patterns at Stash. I love the designer's mix of great colors of fabrics. Check out the her, Chelsea's, blog http://pinkfig.typepad.com/ for great ideas and inspiration for your next project. Here are just a few of my favorite patterns available.
