Cascade, Boxes and Boxes AND...

There are some very exciting things going on in the store right now.

First, as seen in the picture, the wonderful Namaste knitting bags we had all been waiting for finally arrived. Whoo! Get yours soon while there is still a good selection of colors and styles. Rust is a new color, as is "brick red" though it is a more pinkish "brick." We like these bags because there is no velcro so snag your knitting, and they snap shut, not zip, so your yarn doesn't get caught in zippers. The one shown has lots of compartnements, plus a centered zipped one.

Second, on Friday, many immense boxes filled to the brim with Cascade 220 yarn arrived! There are many new colors, including some lovely heathered ones and intriguing neutrals. Plus old favorites, such as LOTS of black. We also got a few skeins of some more rustic Cascade in large skeins, which appears to be naturally sheep colored. Most of the yarn was priced by the end of the day on Saturday, and it will be on the shelves Monday!

Third, your blogger can't remember whether she mentioned the large supply of bag handles that came in a week or so ago. No matter what color your purse or bag, there is now a lovely plastic handle to go with it. I got shiny pink for my entrelac bag. Pat tells us more handles of different kinds are coming, too!

In random notes, we got some beautiful angora/wool yarn and Ella Rae books to go with them--your blogger is already working on a vest from one of them. Cotton is still selling well for summer wear--the Butterfly 10 collection, including the variegated, is getting worked into all sorts of things. We have some new samples to look at, and of course, LOTS of classes! Please drop by, say hi, and show us your projects!
