Madelietosh arrives at Yarn Garage & StevenBe

Yarn Garage and StevenBe have received Madelinetosh! Stop in to check out our selection of Tosh Sock, Pashmina, Tosh Vintage, & Tosh Merino Light. It is perfect for the Tea Leaves Cardigan or the Tiny Tea Leaves Cardi patterns, which we also have in stock. Stephen West, the creator of the Daybreak & Akimbo Shawls, loves Madelinetosh. The yarn is the perfect compliment to his designs. Our shipment of his patterns came in with our old favorites and his newest, Bentgrass, Skid, & Flamboyan patterns.

So many events have been happening since Jessie, Mom and I returned from TNNA in June. I did not get around to posting some of the great photos from the Needle Arts Show. I will add some photos that Jessie shot to my photo gallery. Thursday after we got back The Glitter Diva's got together for Ballet of Dolls' final performance of the season...Pink Flamingos. I/we were shocked, agast and wonderfully horrified. Another amazing performance for the dolls. They will be doing a private show at StevenBe sometime in the near future. Note Kay sporting her own fiber creation and Ann Murray wearing Lucy Neatby's original design for StevenBe...A Minnesota Moment. Jessie fashions a sequin knit shrug by Judi & Co. And the list goes on. Make sure to join us in our future frolics around town.

Don't miss our upcoming events. Chat and Chew at the Yarn Garage every Sunday in July except for the 4th. Closed but StevenBe will be open with a Free-for-All Potluck. Join us from 1-4.

Also, on Sunday the 11th we have a great folk band and a preview for the following Sunday's felting class. Check out the featured creatures to felt on the 25th. Email Steven for details: steven@yarngarage.com

World Wide Knit in Public Day 2010

StevenBe and friends in the neighborhood gathered in the park to share our craft with the community. We had some new knitters stop by, and Tim and Markos taught passers-by how to knit. We got some color from the sun - and even added a little color to the neighborhood with yarn bombing.

Tim knitted a lovely sweater for our new tree friend.

Rachel crocheted a belt for another corner tree. The trees were quite pleased with their new looks!

Some cyclists even admired our art as they drove by.

And, our resident jewelry artist Markos climbed up a tree, adding to the new knits on the block.

Share your stories and pictures, tell us what you did on WWKiPD!
