Its true, the fur trunk show is here at the store. We got in fur sweaters and mittens and scarfs and hats, its all so amazing! You guys must stop in to have a feel, and we even have some fur yarn and kits for sale as well. We'll have have the trunk show till Ocotber 14th and we will be taking orders during that time.

**The Fur Demo Class has been moved to November 1st, and supply orders MUST be in by October 16th**

We have a new line of fall classes coming up. Felted pumkins is being taught by Cathy, and Which Witch hat by Jessica. You can also do some halloween themed clogs could you not?

Christmas stockings have been ordered and are on there way, yeah! The Intarsia class for the Christmas stocking is free for those of you whose bought the stocking kits and will be Thrusday October 2 from 6-8p OR Saturday October 4 from 1-3p (its a one day class only).

And now for some new yarns that we got in/ ordered....Malabrigo!! Its not here yet, but it is on order. I ordered some chunky weight and some worsted weight. We also now have Dream in Color yarns as well. I have Fatty (chunky weight), and Baby (lace weight) in at the store, and I ordered Smooshy, their ever popular sock yarn, but Smooshy will not be here for another 6 weeks becauase its so popular. All three, Fatty, Baby, and Smooshy are Superwash too. Machine washable, does it get any better?

Also, Jessica has added on two more sock classes for October. She will be doing 2 Soxs on 2 Circs Thrusdays October 2, 9, 16th from 12-2p and 4-6p.

Fur Yarn

Yes yes, it has arrived. The new fur yarn demos are at the shop now. Check out the chinchilla colored Rex Rabbit hat that looks very cool as a neck cowl too. Or see the Sapphire blue Bell Scarf featured in Knit and Style Magazine and knitted with sheared beaver. Both are very simple patterns. I knitted the cowl in a night and did the finishing the next morning.

I am getting ready... to start thinking about.. fall and seasons beyond. I hate to see summer go but cabled sweaters and warm slippers do have their allure. I am actually looking forward to the holiday season. Halloween with felted pumpkins and witches hats is not far ahead. Then it will be winter. Happy knitting.
