The Little Boy That Loved Wool

Miss Jane walked into the shop last week with this on. The warm and wonderful vest from Sally Melville's "Knit Stitch". She used Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky in such a beautiful shade of brown. Bravo, Jane!

Then there is Miss Carol who decided that everyone she knows and loves is getting felted clogs for Christmas. Some have already been shipped away and there are still some to be finished up but here's what she brought to the shop yesterday...
Stop in the shop and I will give your her phone number. Maybe you can do some nice things for her over the course of 2008 and get on her list for next year!

And yesterday, the 2 footer had the opportunity that most of us adults would love. To be covered in yarn. And, mind you, this isn't just any yarn....this is Jamieson's Aran Weight. The 2-ply spindrift arrived a month ago and was so wonderful that we ordered that heavier weight as well. 24 colors, knits up to between 4 and 5.5 sts. Jack picked out his colors for a possible quick sweater for Christmas. I told him I would stay up day and night to knit it if he used the toilet. I'm sure it will work...

Have a wonderful evening. Snow is in the forecast again tonight!
