We confess to loving our summer work schedule; we get a bit more time off thanks to our fantastic staff, and we always look forward to Thursdays, when we get to see what arrived at the shop in our absence.

We are now fully stocked with the popular BABY COVER, a marvelous machine washable worsted weight wool. Vibrant colors, easy care, great price—who could ask for anything more in a kid’s yarn??? We also received a lovely new “gender-neutral” color of BABY CASHMERINO. This soft Seafoam should provide some relief from the constant knitting of yellow or ivory!

And we received our fall order from DALE OF NORWAY, so our cubbies are filled with BABY ULL, HEILO and the new BABY BOOK 162. Dale patterns are unique in that they feature FAIR ISLE knitting in gorgeous bright Scandanavian colors. If you are looking for a challenge, check these out, and remember that PAIGE will be leading a FAIR ISLE SAFARI this fall—a perfect time to learn this lovely technique of stranded knitting. Dale photography is awesome, so we remind you that “You are knitting the pattern, NOT THE BABY!!!!”

Also in, additional LANTERN MOON CIRCS in sizes 6 and 7. How fabulous are these needles? We liken them to flying First Class. You were perfectly content in Coach until your first upgrade, and then anything less just wouldn’t do!
