Great Northern Yarn Haul…Time to Sign!

Yikes!  Twenty people have already signed up for the Great Northern Yarn  Haul, so if you’re interested give me call or drop me an e-mail!  What’s it all about?  From July 8th to the 17th, 16 participating yarn shops from Lake Champlain to the Atlantic are offering goodies and events to “travel card” holders.  Visit shops, see what’s new, get a “goodie” or two, get a signature, and have a good time.  Send the travel card with signatures to Love.Yarn.Shop. to be entered in the Grand Prize, to which each shop has donated a gift.  The Love.Yarn.Shop. Kick-off is on July 8th from 5-7.  Yarn Haulers make their first purchase worth $20 from their local LYS and receive a tote and brochure with travel card.

Participating Shops:  Love.Yarn.Shop., Grand View Lodge and Country Store, Nancy’s Alterations and Yarn Shop, A Wrinkle in Thyme Farm, Portfiber, Fiber & Vine, Yarn, Must Love Yarn, Yarn & Yoga, Green Mt.

Knit in Public–Why?

I remember one World Wide Knit in Public Day, I overheard a young woman say to an older woman, “Look, they’re knitting.  How cute.”    I still feel like a little old lady thinking about it.  I wish she had said, “cool,” or “great,” or “neat,”  or even better, “I’d like to learn to knit.”   This Saturday, June 18th, is World Wide Knit in Public Day.  We’ll be knitting outside Love.Yarn.Shop. in Bethlehem, NH–weather permitting (our summer seems to be vacationing elsewhere).  People will pass by on foot or in the car, see us outside knitting, and I hope that at least a few will have a vague yearning, a tickling, that this activity might hold something they’ve been missing, might even heal something, and that one day, they’ll have to follow that thread.

Binding off neckline–great tips from Cocoknits

I love Cocoknits’ patterns.  I just received a few of my favorites:  Leisl, Maude, and Sabine. Some of you may have seen me wearing Liesl, a long tunic, knit in a maroon sport weight yarn.  The Cocoknits site has excellent advice on binding off a neckline to make smooth transitions, especially important if you aren’t going to do anything else to the neckline.  Here’s the article:  http://cocoknits.com/tips-and-tutorials/techniques/a-proper-cocoknits-neckline/  I hope it helps next time you are binding off a neckline!  Happy knitting!
