School is back in session and it's got me thinking about (what else?) BOOKS! Here is a (by no means exhaustive) list of some of my favorite books.
|
Every month we feature a new yarn + pattern combination at a special kit-of-the-month discount... 20% off when you purchase the kit!
This month's featured kit is the
'Shaped Cowl Neck Sweater'
knit with
Delicious, a luxuriously soft synthetic yarn from Trendsetter. (It's like 'Blossom' with sparkle!!)
The pattern is Trendsetter #3122.
This kit will be available at 20% off through the end of the month (sale ends October 31, 2005).

THIS JUST IN...

Three signs that summer is over:
- the nights are getting colder
- the kids are back in school, and
- the fall and winter yarns are arriving by the truckload!!
(For a while there, we barely had room to walk around the store...)
New yarns from:
- Rowan
Two new variations on an old favorite... Introducing
Kidsilk Spray and
Kidsilk Night, the variagated and a sparkley (respectively) versions of the ever popular Kidsilk Haze.
Fans of the Rowan Cashsoft line (mmm... machine-washable cashmere blend... what's NOT to love?) will be pleased to see a heavier weight addition to this line.
Cashsoft Aran - same great fiber, 14 rich colors!
We've also received a couple of hip, new yarns similar to Rowan Big Wool. Check out
Rowan Spray and
Big Wool Fusion.
Soft is good... and available in three new Merino-blend yarns
Soft Baby,
Soft Lux and
Soft Tweed.
Finally, don't miss the new colors in Rowan's
Big Wool,
Biggy Print and
Kidsilk Haze lines! Plus, great pattern ideas in the latest additions to the 'Classic' line of pattern books from Rowan:
- Debbie Bliss
Debbie Bliss has added to her line of machine-washable cashmere blends with a new weight of cashmerino,
Cashmerino Chunky and (one of our favorite new fall yarns)
Astrakhan, a nicely textured cashmerino in a beautiful array of colors.
- Muench
Muench has added some new colors to the ever-popular
Touch Me line, and they have just come out with a whole bunch of fun variagated colors in a related line called
Touch Me Due.
- GGH
if it's interesting textures you're after, check out these new yarns from GGH:
Tibet, a super-bulky boucle in a wool+nylon blend,
Milano, a worsted-weight ribbon with a shiney
Aldente, a bulky wool+microfiber blend that has a nice light lofty texture,
Almeria, a thick-n-thin wool blend, and
Cappella, a wool+microfiber+acrylic blend with alternating ribbon and furry textures. These yarns (and more of your favorites from GGH) are featured in patterns in the latest issue of Rebecca magazine,
Plus, new colors of that super-soft synthetic,
Amelie!! A great yarn for scarves and sweaters!
