Kiss me I'm knitting!

We celebrated St. Patrick’s day with green cup cakes and cookies whilst knitting on spring related items. It’s hard to find objects that can be knitted and worn through out the warmer months, but with silk, cotton and hemp yarn it’s possible.


Steven spent time showing us a wonderful trunk show last night which consisted of new and beautiful yarns for spring wear and also some famed and coveted Signature
Needles. Steven is the only yarn store in the midwest who carries these beautiful needles. So, if you really love you’re knitting and have always wanted to own a BMW you need to just hold these needles for a sample of luxury.

The Finish Line

We’re all in the mood to start something new, but not without finishing our current projects. It seems though that when we get closer to the end, it’s almost excruciatingly long and tedious. LaShell found this out last night as she worked for what seemed like ages on a cowl. She even pulled out the ball of yarn after working on it for an hour and a half noticing that it was still very much the same size.


We’re all plugging through though. When the end is near a new project brings us promise of a new challenge. As I’ve discovered with my Pikkuveli sweater. As I’m almost done with the cardagin, the collar seems to go on forever. But, when there’s a little boy who’s promised a new spring coat, taking a break isn’t an option.

From Kanye West...

...to full luscious racks...of yarn. This weeks Wednesday night was a whir of miscellaneous topics.
We have an uncanny ability to cover almost any and all topics in a record amount of time. Give us two hours, a voluptuous skein of yarn and some chocolate and we'll be set for a night of gabbing, knitting, and sinning with calories.

There were a few finished objects that night. This one emerged from the back room just before the end of the class. Knit in a fine frog tree yarn, it's beauty is only surpassed by it's soft luxurious feel.


LaShelle finished her love knot shawl. A simple crocheted project but it works up fine and wonderful as a finished piece. She added some matching ribbon to the ends as a fringe. It was a favorite amongst the knitters that night, and a surprise to many, she's simply going to give it away as a gift. What a wonderful heart, remind me to tell me when my birthday is.


So, if you're ever in the mood for some knitting in your hands, chocolate on your thighs and some cacophony of gabbing in your ears, please come on down to the Wednesday night class.
