Knitting Takes Balls, You Know

Yarn Cravin' has them!

First up, the much-sought-after Zauberballs have arrived in many colors... One of these balls will make a whole pair of socks, but I can see you all getting creative and making some mittens or scarves with these color combos. Come and get them!!

Dale Ann took this gorgeous photo! It's Ti-Dye sock yarn. (Hey, isn't this the stuff we bought for Ferol and Bobbie on our trip to Chicago?!) Gorgeous stuff, knitters. Look at those spring and summer colors!

The March/April Sock Club yarn has arrived. Yummmmmmm. "Springtime In Perrysburg," custom-dyed for us by Claudia, of Claudia Hand Painted Yarn fame, is stunning. You will need two hanks for one pair of socks this time around.

Participants in the Sock Club are still working on their January/February socks, using all sorts of different patterns. As promised, here's a sock in progress, but not the whole knitter!



Sarah Lou shows off her finished socks below! Aren't they gorgeous?

We also drew names to see who the lucky winners would be for the St. Patty's Day Flat Feet this past Tuesday night. If you were a winner, leave a comment so everyone knows who got the luck-o-the-Irish!

REMINDER! The deadline to get in your money for the Spring Knitting Retreat is fast approaching. March 27. Or did I say March 28 last time? Regardless, it's coming up! Don't be left out. This is an overnight retreat, and you never know what kind of silliness you might miss out on.

There's one more new thing you need to know about at the shop. Square knitting needles. Square DPN's and circulars by Kollage Yarns. If you have wrist or hand pain, consider trying them. Be advised, though, you need to swatch! So far everyone I know, including myself, has had to go up one needle size using these.
