What’s On My Needles?
This was a tough one because I couldn’t decide which set of needles to feature! I’ve narrowed it down to two. I’ve been thinking about knitting a throw for my family room and got inspired when we started re-arranging the shop a couple of weeks ago. I wanted a project that would be relatively easy in terms of the actual knitting of it but one that would also challenge my thinking about color a bit. I decided to knit a garter stitch throw of many textures. I brought in a couple of pillows from my family room and got to work. I began with a color theme of rusty reds, golds and greens. I chose yarn from my stash as well as the shop. This project is perfect for shopping the sale bins too! The picture doesn’t do it justice so please stop in and see it for yourself. Bring a pillow and/or some fabric swatches and we’d be happy to assist you with choosing colors for your own throw!
Another project that’s in the works is my ruffly sock yarn scarf. When I decided to bring in the Noro Kureyon Sock yarn I didn’t bring it in for just sock knitting. I envisioned many possibilities for this gorgeous yarn. Think lace knitting, sweaters, scarves and wraps. A customer came in wearing a scarf knit from sock yarn which was the inspiration for my ruffly scarf shown above. The scarf is cast on lengthwise so you begin and end with the ruffle and coast in between. The Noro color pallette is second to none which is why we love it. Come on in and we’ll get you started on yours!
