First, we received a brand new book SILK KNITS filled with designs using silk yarns. What do we love about this book? Elaine Eskesen takes the time to give a WONDERFUL explanation of the various silks and silk blends, and why you should or should not use them for certain designs! Check out this lovely item.

And our SUNDAYS IN THE SALON continue to pack the house. Yesterday's felted bag went on without any regard to the snow and ice. 12 people learned to pick up stitches, create an I-cord bind-off, and a strap. Want to join us? Next Sunday we will learn about the BREA BAG (check it out on www.berroco.com). This non-felted bag is filled with cables, fancy stitchwork, and a decrease that forms a flower! Please sign up in advance (we have room for 12) and roll your yarn if it needs to be wound, prior to the program! You will need 430 yards of worsted weight yarn (held double) and size 9 needles.

Finally, we hope you have had a chance to meet HEATHER who is now working here on Sundays. She has jumped into the fray with both feet and is here to help with both knitting and crochet needs! Her bio is on the staff page.
