Greetings!
Jenni ran an official trial with the Clover Pom-Pom Maker this week. Gadget-lovers (and anyone who has ever wondered how the contraption might work) will be interested in the results.
Having fond memories of the time her grandmother helped her
make pom-poms for her ice skates, but not such fond memories of the
old-fashioned cardboard-and-tapestry- needle method she learned back then, Jenni wondered: Can it really be possible to make good-looking pom-poms without
a struggle?
Following a quick
trial with some scrap yarn, our product-tester reported: "Even my first attempt is better than
anything I ever made the other way!" After cranking out a few more pom-poms, with
growing confidence, she confessed, "I think this could get addictive..."
Fortunately, a distraction arose when a new shipment of yarns arrived. Louet Gems superfine superwash merino is a supersoft fingering-weight yarn sure to be a new favorite for sock-knitters. Check out the great color selection.
This week our BIG SUMMER SALE
continues. See below for featured yarns.
And remember to join us Thursday, August 5, 5-8pm, for the
first Evening Open Knit of the month. Knit in air-conditioned comfort!
