FLO'S MALABRIGO RASTA SCARF!
Yesterday it was LIZ, and today it's now something from our own FLO MEIT--a super soft, super chunky scarf knitted using our customer's #1 favorite yarn, MALABRIGO RASTA! It's soft, it's chunky, it's easy to knit with and it makes GREAT quick-knit items for holiday gift giving. This scarf is extra fun because there is an element of braiding to lend a little panche to this trendy scarf. And as always, seam the ends together and turn it into an infinity scarf for the younger set at Woolwinders, your HOLIDAY yarn shop!
LIZ'S CUTE COWL!
Our own LIZ SYMBORSKI is at it again with another wonderful cute cowl model for the holiday season! This VERY pretty cowl is also VERY soft, knitted on big needles with CASCADE ECO HIGHLAND DUO yarn, a new shop favorite! Easy eyelets make the pattern a snap to knit and the adorable I-cord is optional: use it to create a snug look or omit it and wear as an infinity scarf. Once again, quick, fun, and pretty, another perfect holiday gift idea for you at Woolwinders, your holiday yarn shop!
WING FINITY COWL FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
Just in time for the holidays! Knit up this lovely WING FINITY COWL in no time flat! The soft, pretty lace pattern is edged with just the right touch of sparkle to add some holiday flair to your wardrobe whether you're at the office or out on the town this holiday season. And knit on size 10 needles holding two strands together of TSC/ARTYARN TRANQULITY cashmere/merino/silk blend and fun ARTISTE METALLIC yarn for a garter edging, it also makes a quick and luxurious holiday gift. For a more practical take on this lovely lace infinity cowl/scarf, knit it using any worsted weight yarn OR make it half the size and turn it into a bulky weight cowl at Woolwinders, your holiday yarn shop!

WELCOME SUZY ROY!
Woolwinders is pleased to introduce the newest member of our wonderful staff: SUZY ROY! Look for Suzy's cheery smile on weekends beginning in November and be sure to give her a very warm welcome to our knitting community:) Suzy started knitting several years ago by watching online videos and learning by her usual method of trial and error. Because of the conflicting nature of both simplicity and complexity in knitting, what started out as something to just dabble in has captured her attention and become an obsession and beloved hobby. A native of New Hampshire, Suzy recently moved to Rockville with her husband, two adopted rescue dogs and house bunny. It can be assumed that between the “furbabies” and her extensive yarn stash, their home will be well insulated and warm during the winter months for many years to come. When not knitting, you can usually find Suzy hiking nearby trails or cheering on her New England sports teams. Welcome, Suzy!
