Welcome 2010!
Let's do a knit-a-long. Join me at Stash on Mondays 1 - 3 during the Coffee Club, starting right after the New Year and knit this awesome scarf with me. It's called the "just enough ruffles scarf" and it is sure to get many compliments. Check out the link and if it's the scarf for you, then I hope to see you on Monday!

What was old, is new again!
I know most of you felt the way I did when I heard the Amy Butler Lotus line was no linger being printed. But alas the fabric gods heard our prayers and 10 of the most favorite Lotus prints have returned and are now at Stash!!! Here you see a small sample.

Manos Rittenhouse Merino
Manos has a new yarn and it is AMAZING! Lot o' skeins just arrived today. I may be a little selfish and keep them for myself. Just kidding, this yarn is just too great to keep for myself. As described by the manufacturer: Pure, extra fine merino wool in a worsted-weight yarn with an unbeatable combination of wonderful softness, excellent stitch definition, and rich color. Come in quick and see the great colors and feel the softness.Friday, December 4, 2009
