Spring Flowers, Cotton, Bamboo & Linen!

I love this time of year. I can’t wait to see which flowers survived the winter & to feel the sunshine again (and to stop paying the heating bills!)
There is so much to knit, too -- yes even with the onset of warm weather there’s always something to knit. New cottons from Cascade (Luna), Classic Elite (Stars), bamboo from Plymouth (Royal Bamboo) & Southwest Trading company, (Bamboo & Twize) a cotton & linen blend from Plymouth (Linen Isle), try a stretchy top with Cascade Fixation, and Schulana’s Supercotton or even some linen from Louet

Socks, socks, & SOCKS!!

This is also a good time of year to plan your travel knitting. Socks are always a good choice. Check out STEP from Austerman, infused with Aloe & Jojoba as well as Strapaz, Sockotta, & Trekking. ONESKEIN, a great book from Interweave Press, is the perfect companion for summer traveling. Grab one skein of yarn and go!!

Stop by on June 21 to celebrate the summer solstice and help me decide which of Ironstone’s fabulous yarns to carry and receive 15% off anything you order that day. Ironstone will be sending me samples of their latest yarns & garments. If you haven’t seen their yarns, you are in for quite a treat.

Don’t forget to check out the guest instructors. Judy Pascale is offering some great classes in May and in June, Barbara Kerr will be teaching Knitting from A to Z where she offers a knitting technique for each letter of the alphabet (accompanied by a 16-page handout). A great class for beginners as well as advanced knitters.

I’ve already started to schedule next year’s guest instructors. Watch for classes with
Lucy Neatby and Beth Brown-Reinsel
