June?????
Isn't it CRAZY that it's JUNE?
I don't know where the spring went, and here we are, unofficially into Summer!
It's a good thing that we're still receiving some great yarns, books and fiber for our summer crafting -
Late last week we received some gorgeous batts from Hello Purl. These are super fun, and super colorful! Some will spin up in a more textured yarn and some smooth, but they're clearly marked. They are also made from a variety of fibers, including various wools, silks, angelina, and more. Can you say "Eye Candy"?

We also received a few more books for our book shelves:
- Scarlet by Kim Hargreaves features 21 classic designs.
- Knit Socks for All Seasons by Stephanie van der Linden has 20 all-new patterns, instructions, and great photos and charts.
- The Sock Knitter's Handbook by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott features expert advice, tips, tricks and instructions for all yoru sock knitting needs.
.....and we also received a new yarn from Rowan called Creative Linen. This is a blend of 50% cotton and 50% linen which is great for those summer tanks, tops and cardigans. It would also make up into a great market bag for the beach or farmer's market this summer! The 100 gram hank has 219 yards with a recommended gauge of 5.25 stitches per inch on a US #7 needle.
Good thing summer is just starting! I have LOTS of knitting and spinning to get done!
SPATS Tonight!
Don't forget, tonight is SPATS! Starts at 6 tonight.
For those of you wondering what SPATS is, it stands for SPinning At The Shop. Bring in your wheel, drop spindle, fiber (or pick some up at the shop - one of the new batts that we just received would be fun), and get an hour or two of spinning time in!
And, as always, there is no fee!

It's the start of summer........
OK, this weekend is the kick off of summer, but we're already thinking ahead to the start of Fall with the new Fall issue of Noro Magazine!
This is a brand new magazine featuring hats, sweaters, fingerless gloves, an awesome entrelac blanket, some great knits for guys, and more!
Quite a few of these patterns would work great for the spinner's too - they'll work great with handspun yarns.

We're Loving ChiaoGoo Red Lace Needles!
We're loving the ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular Needles so much that we've now added the 60" lengths to our inventory!
We carry 16", 24", 32", 40" and now the 60" Lengths!
If you haven't tried these needles yet, you owe it to yourself to grab a set for your next project. They're pretty inexpensive, the cords are GREAT, the joins are nice and smooth and they have nice tips.
Overall, a WIN in my book!
