Tennessee Yarn store~ The Knaughty Knitter

No Friday night group this week!

We have a special event to go to and there will not be Friday group this week ONLY! We'll be closing at 6.   

And tomorrow is Carole's birthday!  wish her happy happy birthday. 

And look what I just finished!  This modular shawl was fun and it is very soft.  It is done in Wool in the woods and a little alpaca silk added too.  7 colors and really nice.   If anyone is interested in a class I am taking names for it....would be the first Saturday in April.  You could do this shawl or the blanket lots of folks are making out of Boku since it is basically the same method.  Let me know.

Our customers do great knitting

There are some great new pictures in the customer gallery.  Ya'll are awesome.  I love it when you come in and show me your projects.  If I don't get a picture, please feel free to ask me to take one.  I will be happy to, just sometimes I get a little busy and it is hard to remember...because I remember so little anyway.  It has been so long since my memory worked I don't remember what that was like..........

It is so pretty out! I've got the windows and doors open to air things out and I just love the wind.  Okay so now it is just a little breeze occasionally...but I love it anyway. 

Got the first bunny done and her dress.  Most folks think she's a cutie, Doyle's got doubts.....but here she is....now to write the pattern and test knit it again.   It is going to test my abilities to follow a pattern to do that again..........since we all know I don't follow patterns well - even my own.  So here she is reclining on a pile of yarn....Wonder how she and Red Bear will get along.  And she needs a name...

Wool in the Woods

Wool in the Woods is here....It is so yummy.   Hand Dyed fibers, wool, mohair, llama, even cotton chenille, and afghan kits too.  Think I am doing a modular shawl out of the colors in "Magestic Ridge", obviously inspired by looking at the mountains.  And there's Thief in the Night and Tahiti Sunset.....we are all fantasizing what to do with it. 

OOOHHH! New Opal sock yarn is here!....nice springy colors...and the new Interweave Knits too.

Just a note about classes...There are actually 2 spaces left in this Saturday's weaving class.  And Carole's sock class starts March 1st.  Be sure to reserve your space now so I can order needles and books and such.

And I did a really warm hat just in time for the messy weather out of Merino Kind from Ornaghi Filati...It is very very nice....even Doyle likes it, cause he's not into scratchy wool.

And For A Happy Valentine's Day

All Red, White or Pink yarn will be 15% off tomorrow (Feb 14th)!   Also 10% off lingerie patterns (yes we have those).   With any luck I am going to make sugar cookies tonight and there will be some of those in the store too for as long as they last. 

Sunday was wild!   Lots of folks came in and Vera made this beautiful bracelet for a Valentine's drawing.  She gave it away!  Betty won and it is so pretty on her.

Thank you, Vera!

New books

Lace Style and No Sheep for You (which, according to Bronwyn, is not available on Amazon until April) are HERE!!!  Lace Style has some pretty and not too complicated lace things.  No Sheep for You is great for folks who are unable to use animal fiber due to allergies and are "stuck" knitting with cotton, linen, silk and other non animal fibers.  She's designed things especially for you that take into account the characteristics of plant fibers. 

Oh, and Bronwyn worked a miracle yesterday and got that HUGE box of Cascade - something like 270 skeins of yarn - onto the shelves - she made them fit and look pretty.  Yeah, applause! Applause to everyone who works here - you all are awesome, and it would be a whole lot less fun around here without you.

IT'S DOYLE'S BIRTHDAY

Doyle's Birthday is Today.  He has begun getting all the cards Sunday group sent him and is loving it.  Thanks, y'all.

And there's a giant shipment of Cascade 220 here.  Lots of new colors for spring and great felted bags.

Mary took up cake decorating

and we all benefitted with these turtle brownies.  Don't you wish you'd been here..
