Knitting Closet NewsletterSummer 2008
Where did all the time go? Here we are in mid summer and with the kids out of school its already time to think of Christmas in July. Get that early start on a knitted or felted Christmas Stocking. Kits are very economical and take all the worry of having all the necessary items to finish the project. They are available at a price that would hardly pay for the yarn itself, and include the pattern and all components to make that beautiful stocking, tree skirt, ornament or banner. We have lots of kits available to satisfy the needs of nearly any knitter or needle arts enthusiast.
I have recently gotten hooked on the Knit along with Debbie Macomber booklets. I really like the Cedar Cove Collection as they seem to have something for almost everyone including yummy receipes like Blueberry Muffins to serve at a special lunch or a chocolate zucchini cake for Dad. We have just a few of these books on hand - they can be found in our Books & Patterns section.
Socks have been really popular this year. Many knitters have developed a foot fetish and we have several exciting sock yarns available including Boston and other Marathon sock yarn patterns. Berroco Sox™, is one of our prime sources for sock yarn. In the past few years dyers have developed new computerized color sequencing techniques, creating engineered color patterns that look as if they were knitted with many different shades of sock yarn in fairisle. As a result of this technological breakthrough, the knitter now has a simple way to achieve a look of complexity that once could only have been done by stranding or striping many colors. Be sure to take a look at our Sock Yarns for that favorite color and pattern.
Since we are "The Source" for knitting machine cone yarns, machine parts and accessories, we will be allocating a section for our knitting machine friends in our newsletter. It will include knitting machine ideas, patterns, special techniques and things to be shared with other machine knitters. Look for it in our next newsletter which should be available in August or early September.
We look forward to having you on our website soon. Be sure to Email us if you have a question or if we can help you find that special item.
Happy Knitting to you all!
