What a fun weekend!  The Garden State Yarn Crawl was a great success and it was so much fun to meet new people and see some familiar faces!  We want to congratulate Margaret Brown who won the basket and Jennifer Stanik who won the book!  Yahoo!

 We got a lot of compliments on our flowers both real and felted! 

The Noni Trunk show will be in the studio for another week or two and  we encourage you to come see the finished bags!  We love the look and we must say that these are truly unique accessories that will enhance many an outfit!  We have the patterns and the necessary hardware to complete the look!


Speaking of Flowers.... 


How cute is this hat?  Do you see the little flower sprouting from the top? This is just one of the many projects that you can create! Cheryl has come up with an array of classes that all involve flowers in one way or another...they will be during the day throughout the month of May and you will knit or crochet a hat, washcloth, bag and perhaps even a pair of socks!  AND! As part of our tenth year celebration, the classes are only $10.00 per session plus required materials!  Check it out!
F.O.'s Gallery!

We have had some busy bees in the house! The Thursday classes seem to have completed a lot of projects all at once! Check it out!  


Joan did this great sweater from SEAMLESS KNITS and it looks great!



Beth is quite the pro at working the Bella Mitts up!  Find the pattern on Ravelry!  Way to go Beth!

 

Michelle finished this heirloom pattern by our own Lynn S!  It is spectacular and will be enjoyed!  
Yarn Spotlight!
Tempo is not just a musical term!

Tempo is a great multi colored yarn with a little "funk" to it....It actually combines 3 strands - a multicolored print, a contrasting thick-&-thin and a nubby tweed - to create one-of-a-kind garments with stunning Missoni-type effects. It's 114 yards, works up 5 stitches to the inch on a 6 - 7 needle and has beautiful pattern options and colors!
