We have a trunk show for the book Inspired to Knit.  It features four mini workshops, based on the four seasons, with twenty-one patterns.  As you follow  Michele Rose through her explanations, you will pick up invaluable tips and tricks of the trade plus a wealth of inspiration.

 

Stop by and look at the eleven different garments we have.

 

Kate, one of the customers that comes into the shoppe, has allowed us to borrow her scarves.

  

Three of the scarves are out of this book.

Thanks, Kate!  You do a beautiful job!

Susan has already knitted up a mitten from the yarn.  Stop by and check it out.

And look at this.

We've got yarn dots.   Just take them and put them into your crocheted or knitted garments.

 

We have Rita's Panda Cotton.  

 

And we have Rita's Sock Religious.







As you can see, Susan is knitting two socks on two circular needles.  The flats are set up with two yarns that you unravel and seperate for crocheting or knitting.




And this is my favorite color - Seattle.  I found Rita a year and a half ago, because I saw this color in a worsted weight yarn she had dyed.
