Guest Blogger Ellen here - we just received another huge shipment of the Kauni EQ and ES colorways this morning. If you haven't already heard about the phenomenon of Kauni hitting the internet, this is one hot yarn! I also will be getting in another shipment soon - that order has the pink/gold/cream colorway, a few other colors, and about 5 different solid colors - red, blue, green, white and natural. If you look on Ruth Sorensen's blog, she just posted pictures of her hats which use the solid with the transitional yarn. So cute! I'm hoping that she'll let us sell these patterns when she comes to visit us in a few weeks.
I'm planning on finishing my Kauni sweater today - I have 3 rows of the last button band to knit, find some cool buttons and block. Voila! Ready for Madrona. If you are needing help or encouragement through this project, Elaine is teaching a class we call "Kauni Klub". She'll help you through the scary bits and help you figure out the pattern. They did meet once already, but you can either talk to her about catching up, or we will also offer this class again with our summer schedule of classes.
Speaking of classes, I will start putting together our next class list beginning February 1st. If you have a request for a type of class we haven't offered before, let me know! I will do my best to find something to fit your needs.
Last but not least we have new books in. Specifically a whole lot of the knitting/stitching mystery types. One I'm really looking forward to reading is "Three Bags Full" by Leonie Swann. It's about a flock of sheep investigating the murder of their shepherd. Besides the mysteries we have "Warm Fuzzies" , the Anticraft book and "Yarn Play". Lots of great fun!
The knit along seems to be going really well, most people seem to have the backs of their sweaters done or almost done, and some are now finishing up their fronts and one - cough- Victoria - cough - is done and on to other pursuits.
Happy knitting!
