November's Jewels

We've received lots of inquires about the sweater of the month for November. November's project is made out of slightly thick thin yarn, from the bottom up with great fitting tips, and a neckline that will be flattering on just about anyone.

With a full range of sizes this is sure to fit all size bodies. It doesn't take a ton of yarn, nor is the yarn overly expensive. To me, it's a perfect fit..., for a perfect pattern and a great yarn.
We will be offering this class on Friday nights, or if it works for you, you can learn this in one of our All Skills Classes.

We just received a restock of this yarn today, and we are open until 8pm so come in while we have plenty of selections. Or call us at 916.714.7719 and we can ship to you.

Stitch Dots

What's Hot in Fashion?

Teresa took this picture on one of her latest adventures. She's recently moved and captured the essence of what's fashionable this year. Lots of knitting, lots of texture.

If anyone is in the city or sees a window display with knitting take a picture post to the group. I'd love to see more knitting windows. I'll post several that I've found. Can't wait to see what you all find. Cause you know if it's in a window display it's hot, hot, hot right now. On a recent trip to Macy's, Style & Co, one of Macy's own brands was filled to the brim with all kinds of sweater dresses. In my mind, sweater dresses are for the tall and svelte, but in a recent new publication from Interweave Knits, Knit Wear, I found a sweater dress that would look perfect on me. Now, I'll definitely have to make it longer, and I'll definitely be wearing some Spanx underneath them. After all who couldn't use a little help with smoothing the lumps.
