In other news, we had some Tilli Tomas yarn on sale last week, it flew out the door.  Thanks for your purchases and enjoy the discounted Tilli, a rare thing.

I was going through my stash and thinking about knitting up all the samples that we have.. well, the ones I haven’t knitted up yet anyway  ;-) .  I started out with the samples for Spud and Chloe, the Sweater yarn that arrived all looped up on pencils, very cute.  But even cuter is knitting the colors up into a mini-scarf.

It’s amazing how well ALL the colors look good together!

Next up is the Tilli Tomas Symphony-Kid Lace with beads, a super kid mohair blend with a metallic thread and beads.  The photo doesn’t do it justice, AT ALL.  But my little fish wanted to be in the shot, haha.

This sample of garter stitch was knit up on US 4 needles.
Fluffy, soft, and the beads as a nice weight to it.
On US 4 needles it knits up nice and tight for a sweater, or use larger needles for a scarf or shawl.

Coming up next: Habu yarns with the new SWTC Xie yarn, a new ultimate favorite.
