August Newsletter

August has arrived!
Along with it the fall yarns are starting to arrive at Kniterary!

It feels like Christmas every time!!

Speaking of Christmas...Time to get started on your gift list!

I was looking over the sock yarns yesterday and realized that there are 12 different brands on the shelves! And that is not taking into account the assortment of colours there are. Most recently arrived are new Arequipa, Noro Silk Garden, Berroco metallic Sox and Jawoll Magic. So much to choose from! I have a great selection of sock patterns in as well and when you buy 100 grams of sock yarn you can pick up a pattern at half price!

Other yarns that have come in are:
The new Berroco Campus yarn with some great patterns. It is a chunky yarn so will be great quick knitting! There is a sample of a T-shirt in the shop

and
New colours of Silk Garden Worsted weight. Always beautiful!

I am expecting another Berroco shipment any day as well as Mission Falls and Manos del Uruguay.....OOOh...The anticipation!

Make sure to visit the shop regularly to see all the selection available!

Watched the Blue Jays whup ass!

It was soo much fun!!

Hope you can join us next year!!

Summer is Really Here!

It has been hot I know.
But

It is never too hot to be knitting or crocheting! Small projects are the key.

Such as Socks.....
See! Brenda is knitting socks with the Indian Spices sock yarn that The Sweet Sheep dyed for our Knit in Public day celebration!

Oh, by the way, there are still 3 skeins in the shop! I still am planning on doing a shawl with mine like Marion is....oops....forgot to take a photo.... But here is the yarn!

Make Summer the time to get started on your Christmas knitting and crocheting! Socks, mittens,hats and scarves are all small projects that will not make you hot on the beach.

Yes! The beach!

I was knitting just prior to and just after taking this photo! I love to knit on the beach!



You could take the summer to knit something that requires meditative concentration but is very light weight! Lace! Yes Lace...

Come into the shop and see the Queen Anne's Lace Patterns and the lace weight yarns. There is sure to be something that you'll want to knit!

I am off to the cottage this weekend and I am bringing 2 projects with me. One is a modification to the Striation Shawl....with cables! The other is the Mint t-shirt. I will share my progress when I return!

Keep cool and keep crafting!!
