Hey Everyone

Once again Joe and Julie are back from TNNA (The National Needleworks Association) Trade Show. After a fun filled and inspiring few days, they have returned and the merchandise has started to arrive. Here are just a few....

MORE MALABRIGO... Lots of new colors plus restock of some old favorites. Did you know one skein of the Malabrigo Merino will knit the five-hour baby sweater, a free downloadable pattern from the web? What a beautiful way to welcome a new bundle of joy with a handknitted garment made from the heart! There is Malabrigo Silky Merino too...so soft and cozy!

Lerke by Dale of Norway, 52% Merino Wool and 48% Cotton...125 yards. it has such great color and feel. As always There are wonderful classic patterns in the true Dale of Norway tradition.

For all of the sock knitters out there, the Kureyon and Silk Garden sock yarns are here. Anyone who has knitted with Noro products knows what an artful experience it is, and for those of you who haven't-give it a try! I promise you won't be disappointed.

In typical Tilli Tomas style they have once again outdone themselves.....BEADED LACE, 100% silk with tiny beads (already strung). For those lace knitters out there, check out the Mystic Shawl pattern using this yarn. What a stunner!

Sirdar BABY BAMBOO.....this is a wonderful bamboo yarn with a gorgeous sheen. This yarn gauges perfectly to Snuggly DK. Also, there is a new Vintage DK knits book available that has some beautiful designs and would work great with this yarn. Its sizing ranges from newborn to eight years old.

Gorgeous, sumptuous, and elegant are just a few of the words I would use to describe the new Artyarns. For example, there is the Beaded Ensemble-80% silk with glass beads and 20% cashmere with metallic thread! All of the yarns are variegated; some are tone/tone and some are multi-color variegated.

Beaded Rhapsody & Sequins; 85% silk with glass beads and 15% mohair with metallic thread....yummy! What a beautiful fiber blend.

Silk Rhapsody: 50% Silk and 50% Kid mohair....This yarn comes in a few solid colors and tone/tone variegates.

Beaded Mohair & Sequins: 80% silk with glass beads and sequins and beads are not scratchy. There is some really nice pattern support for this one. Both patterns are very lacey (think lacey shawl, with sleeve)

Jade Sapphire has new colors, as well as a Cashmere Scarf kit. Hint, hint only a few months holiday seasons.

Whew...So much to knit and so little time! Take a little time to start a new target, I promise, it will reward you in many ways. If you haven't been to the new store and pop in to say Hello. The store is beautiful and there's lots of new garments and things to inspire you. Until I see you again!

Take care and Happy knitting
