NEW YARN COMIN!

Just wanted to post some of the new things we will be receiving soon. The Noni patterns should be here in the next few weeks.

New great-looking Noni bags (each in two sizes)! We are very excited to expand our offerings to all generations in your family!

Mandy Color

Mandy Color Just like our solid colored Mandy, this multi-colored version is also a blend of cotton in an I-cord structure. It is 51% cotton and 49% acrylic with 82 yards per 50 gram ball. It knits up on US 9-11 needles, yielding 3-3.75 stitches per inch.


Savanna

Luxurious is how we describe this wonderful blend of cotton and rayon. This yarn is made of 55% rayon (which gives it a lovely shine) and 45% cotton. There are 87 yards per 50 gram ball, and it knits up on US 7-9 needles, yielding 4-5 stitches per inch.

Trekking Hand Art - SOCKS

Here is a hand-dyed sock yarn from the Trekking family and a must-have! This yarn is 75% Wool and 25% Nylon. It has 462 yards per 100 gram hank, and knits up on US 1-3 needles, yielding 6.75-8 stitches per inch. This yarn is also great for shawls!

Classes

Hi Knitters, Just wanted to send a quick apology for being late this week. I logged on Thursday and this is what I found:



>>The latest from Blogger Buzz Spam Fridays
August 1, 2008 — permalink
While we wish that every post on this blog could be about cool features or other Blogger news, sometimes we have to step in and admit a mistake.We've noticed that a number of users have had their blogs mistakenly marked as spam, and wanted to sound off real quick to let you know that, despite it being Friday afternoon, we are working hard to sort this out. So to those folks who have received an email this week saying that your blog has been classified as spam and can't post right now, we offer our sincere apologies for the trouble.We hope to have this resolved shortly, and appreciate your patience as we work through the kinks.



So needless to say, I couldn't post until now. I hope everyone is having a great summer. I know I am. Last night I took my daughter and her friend to the Avril concert at MusicFest for her birthday. We had a great time. We danced on over to the Latin tent and listened to some great Latin music too! If you haven't been to MusicFest check it out. Bring your knitting, find a shady spot and sit, KNIT & listen to some great music.



Onto other things: Please join us on the 1st & 3rd Saturday's of every month for sock class. We are doing 2 socks on 2 circ. cuff down. We will also be doing toe up in the up coming months. If you would like to do socks on DPN or do them already and just want to hang out with other sock knitters, you are welcome to come also. ALL SOCK KNITTERS WELCOME!

Also: The Department for Children of People serving in the Military is in need of knitted mittens and/or yarn to make these mittens. If you would be interested in knitting mittens for this group please knit a child's size pair of mittens and drop off here at Knitwitz during business hours. If you can not get here during business hours please place mittens inside front entryway. Mittens are a perfect project for warmer weather! If you aren't in the mood to knit the mittens you are more then welcome to drop off yarn that someone else can use. We all have yarn stashed that we haven't touched in a looong time. So bring it in!
