I can't believe how quickly May is flying by and Memorial Day weekend is nearly here.

I just finished my 1st knit project using the new Natural Bag yarns...a market bag. I'm updating the pattern and will share it next week.

Next up is the Filigree knit top that's on the cover of the newest Noro Magazine #26 using Ohajiki. Hopefully the finished piece will be on display in the shop next weekend. So far, the yarn is fun to work with!

And you don't want to miss the adorable Amigurumi trunk show and sale that's going on until May 29th.

Congratulations Rae and Colin!

Natural Bag in Solids and Prints

Just in time for summer beach knitting...Natural Bag & Natural Bag Print from Laines du Nord. Made of 60% jute and 40% cotton, this durable fiber is ideal for crocheting and knitting fun and useful accessories such as bags, belts or home decor accessories.

The palette of solids and prints perfectly complement each other for some fun and colorful stripy projects.

New Yarn and Magazine from Noro

Noro Magazine #26 just arrived and it has such a bright and cheery summer vibe! There's a knit or crochet project for everyone inside.

There are several projects featuring Noro's newest yarn, Ohajiki. Ohajiki is the name of a traditional Japanese children's game played with flattened pieces of ceramic glass or sea glass.

The sherbet-y colorways of Ohajiki are reminiscent of these game pieces. The yarn is a timeless blend of cotton, silk, wool, and viscose making it an excellent choice for tops, shawls, summer dresses, and more! It is DK weight and each 150 gram ball contains 459 yards!

Gleener Fabric Shavers are Here

I had been on the lookout for the best fabric shaver and am delighted with my new Gleener Fabric Shaver!

The Gleener Fabric Shaver restores your clothing in a snap! This fabric shaver and lint brush combo safely get rid of those pesky fuzz balls and lint. It even works with pet hair! It comes with three detachable edges to work on fine to bulky knits. There's an integrated lint brush as an extra bonus to pick up pet hair, dust away dandruff, and to beautifully finish any de-pilling job.
