With egg on our face, we are going to have to postpone the scheduled 4/12 sock hop. We just didn’t have our act together-shame on us.
HOWEVER, it is rescheduled for July 19th from 12 noon to 5pm. More details to follow.
Again…we are very sorry if it inconvenienced anyone.
In addition to the other trunk shows that are in the store we now have SWTC Boot Camp for socks. It will be here until 4/11/08.
You need to register for the drawing. Raffle prizes consist of yarn kits including the patterns.
Otherwise all the patterns are on SWTC website.
Patterns are recommending TOFUtsie yarn.
Stop in and see Boot Camp and other trunk show.
See you soon…
As a result of not being open yesterday, due to bad weather, we are extending our Spring Sale through Monday 3/10/2008. Being closed yesterday was an unexpected surprise for everyone…I hope you did what I did - knit!
Before anything, here’s hoping you all had a wonderful, prosperous and healthy Holiday.
Knitters Mercantile has just received the shipment of the new Lamb’s Pride Variegated yarn in both worsted and bulky. I have seen it worked up and it is really pretty. And we all know how well Lamb’s Pride felts. Come look.
We have been waiting months for the Noro sock yarn to arrive. WELL, it is finally here. You know how spectacular the Noro yarn colorways are and now have sock yarn with the same colorways. Come see to believe but don’t wait too long, some people have already taken 1 skein of each color.
I have not written on the blog for months…sorry.
Wanted to let you know that in addition to the Sale that started today we have several trunk shows.
1. Brown Sheep trunk sho with garments made from Cotton Fleece and Lamb’s Pride worsted.
2. K.F.I trunk show that showcases the tweed yarns- Denhali and Bengali. (The neat thing right now is that these yarns are on sale this weekend)!
3. Simply Shetland garments. These garments are the traditional style that never go out of style.
Stop by to take advantage of the sale prices…25% - 60% off.
See you soon.
Don’t forget all…Knitters Mercantile is hosting a “sock retreat” this weekend. You do not have to knit socks but some of us want to learn how to do Cat Bordhi’s new sock architecture and this was a good excuse… Come spend Sat and/or Sun and knit. Sounds like fun to me
Call and tell us if you’re coming so we can have pizza and soda for ‘ya.
The Elegant Heirlooms/Goggleheim trunk show has arrived. Come see the beautiful Christmas stockings that could hang in your home for your family. The kits are available and Knitters Mercantile is offering a class to assist you with making that heirloom for your family. The class is Oct. 31st and Nov. 14th. Plenty of time before the holidays to finish that one of a kind Christmas Stocking.
This week, amongst the many NEW yarns that arrived, two in particular jumped out. Classic Elites new sock yarn called “Alpaca Sox”. 60%alpaca, 20% merino wool and 20% nylon and you must see the colors. I have knitted with this yarn and it is wonderful!! Then we received Filatura Di Crosa “Superior”. This is a must yarn for all knitters. It is 70% cashmere and 30%silk. It is so soft and luxurious you want to carry it around all the time. Also got in the new Della Q needle and knitting bags in scrumptous color combination. And, don’t forget the UM challenge for the chemo hats. Keep those hats coming in…OSU will win!!!!! See you soon
All you sock knitters and those of you who would like to be sock knitters, the beautiful new Kaffee Fassett sock yarn came in this morning. Check out the colors…they’re gorgeous!!!!
See you soon
