Early AM Posting
I'm doing a quick post from home this morning (but I hope to add to it later today).
We received a nice sized order from Malabrigo yesterday which had some restocks in the Worsted, Chunky, Sock, Silky Merino, some Lace, and..........TWIST! Twist is a new yarn and as the name implies, it has a high twist of many plies! Still super soft, still wonderful merino (100% baby merino) and great colors.
The winter issue of Interweave Knits and the Winter issue of Spin-Off also arrived yesterday.
On the arrival schedule for today are more Hiya Hiya Interchangeable needle sets. I expect these to show up this afternoon via Fed Ex.
We're also restocked on the Addi Click sets - if you love Addi Turbos, you will love their interchangeable needle set. I've been using these for the last couple of weeks and love them - a big thumbs up from me!
Hurry in while the getting is good!

Another New Sock Yarn
For quite a while now, we've had Pagewood Farm sock yarns in the shop. The colors are great and the base yarns that they dye are wonderful.This time around, I thought I would bring in one of their sock yarns that we haven't carried yet - Yukon! Yukon is a blend of Superwash Merino, Bamboo and Nylon (70/20/10). You get 450 yards of wonderfully soft sock yarn. Got some sock knitting coming up? Come on in and pick out your favorite colorway!

Holiday Knitting - STAT!
I think the weather is throwing me off this year and I'm in denial that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! I started out great with getting a small portion of my holiday knitting done earlier this year, (and by small, I'm talking about a pair of mittens - 1 lone pair of Bella's Mittens). It's time to get serious now!
How about you, how's your holiday knitting going? We just received in the cutest scarf kit from Classic Elite called the Kumara Ladder Ruffle Scarf pictured at left. The kit comes with everything you need (including the cute button), with the exception of your needles and a strand of waste yarn. I love this scarf - very cute and a great holiday gift.

Offhand Designs!
We just unpacked another box (I am SO behind in the new arrivals posting and the website updating) - and this one got my heart racing!We now have the Daisy bags from Offhand Designs. Great fabrics, gathered and ruffled top, lots of pockets for all your goodies, and REVERSIBLE! All the pockets can either be on the inside or the outside of your bag.

More New!
This will be a quick drive-by post (from home), but I wanted to let everyone know that another new special issue from Interweave Knits came in yesterday at the shop. This one is Interweave Knits Accessories. As the name implies, the magazine is loaded (60+) with patterns for the smaller projects like scarves, mitts, hats, etc. that will make fabulous gifts for the upcoming holiday season (which is fast approaching - YIKES!)
We also received a few kits of some interchangeable needles from Hiya-Hiya. This kit has needle tips in sizes from US 2 to 8 and 4 cord lengths - 16, 24, 32 and 40". One of our customers (Hi Darcy!) purchased a kit yesterday and gives it a big thumbs-up! And the case that comes with the set is a beautiful embroidered fabric case.
I'll try to get some photos up later today.
