Ebb and Flow

Hello Everyone!

So this week there has been a lot of changes. We have changed around our displays, so some completed projects from upstairs are now downstairs. We have also changed our theme to Christmas (Have you started on your Christmas knitting yet?!?)

The main display features Martina's Christmas tree hats (Patterns now on sale), The Tomato that ate Christmas, Tara's cowl, as well as my knitted Rasta hat (Samuel, out of the Berroco Sundae and Peruvia Quick #299 book, made with Peruvia Quick colour 9123). On the same mannequin that my hat is on, Martina's Ebb and Flow scarf is around it's neck (her own design), out of the same color.

Also this week I began my own Ebb and Flow scarf using the red Peruvia Quick and the pink Sublime kid mohair held together (Pictures Above) and finished today (The ego boost when you finish a project in a couple days is great, isn't it?)

Until next week,

Rebecca

Hello Everyone, Long Time No Talk!

The last 2-3 weeks have been very eventful, with different kinds of customers coming in. One week we had an older couple in, with-wait for it-a man wanting his wife to knit him a sweater! We also had a woman come in all the way from California. Everybody will probably be wishing they could go there over the next couple months when the cold weather comes along.

I also started working on Halloween items for the store, one of which is an amigurumi spider from the boom Amigurumi Knits by Hansi Singh. Hopefully it will get finished by Halloween this weekend. Hopefully.

And, all of us who looked after the store while Martina was on vacation in Newfoundland are all very appreciative that she is back!

Until next time,

Rebecca

A Post By Rebecca

Hello, my name is Rebecca.

This week has been really busy! We have just gotten in a new yarn from Manos, called Maxima. Coming in with 10 different variegated colors; we have also gotten in more Manos Silk Blend, with 5 more colors, including black.

A shipment also came in from Dye-Version, with a hand dyed Bamboo Sport yarn called Florida Sunshine. And for all those sock lovers out there, we have 7 more balls of hand dyed sock yarn as well.

Apart from the yarn, we also held the Culture Days here at the Kniterary. We had Tara; the owner of Soul Xpression come in and teach people how to do beading, and Kim, the owner of Penny Heaven come in to show people how to make pennys, a craft from the 1800s.

Be sure to look for us in the next issue of Snap'd!

Tune in next week,

Rebecca
