This newsletter is packed full of exciting patterns to share.
Lets have some fun....
Socks A La Carte 2: Toes Up! isn't due out until late summer, but our publisher, F+W Publishing, has given us the thumbs up on a little preview.
Check out this quick video!
This book is even prettier and more fun than the last. We incorporated all of the great suggestions from readers so you will notice the solid colors, better band, and of course, Toe up!
 While you are at SOYSILK.com looking at the video, make sure to click on the picture of the gorgeous Karaoke scarf in the left hand corner. Its a free pattern this month called Not Entirely Entrelac. There are over 40 colors of Karaoke and this scarf would be great in any of them. Grab 2 or 3 balls to make this project.

THE YARN CART
Jonelle fell in love with this little cart and made arrangements to offer them to knitters through our website.
To see the magic of it in action click here!
The yarn cart wheels around so you can move projects, gear, yarn to and from shows or events or meetings. When its time to load it all into your truck or mini van or car with a large trunk you simply roll up to the edge and the wheel base will flip easily up and over the top so that the cart tucks neatly in. No heavy lifting required. In fact, Jonelle's kids loaded it into the truck as a test.
See step by step pictures here . The yarn cart is only $250 which includes shipping to most to continental US destinations. Some areas may require additional shipping charges...
ORDER HERE
We love everything about it!
