Although I don’t have photos of some of the test knits, my new favorite yarns are as follows:

I haven’t had too much time to knit with this yarn until now.  The heathery look of the colors really comes through in the finished knit!

Tilli Tomas Beaded Plie

This lace edge was knit with Tilli Tomas Beaded Plie.  A silk yarn with beads throughout, hold up well to wear and looks great in stockinette too!

As I was putting the kits together for the newsletter I noticed that the Tilli Tomas yarns match some colors of Blue Sky Alpaca & Silk! The purple is amethyst, the peach matches champagne and the orange matches mandarin.

And I know you’re dying to see some of the Lana Grossa stuff that’s coming.
are those totally kpixie-ish or what…

First off, Indie Week!
Here are some highlights and quickly sold out items.

Mama Llama stitch markers

And in the store at this moment, All Things Heather self-striping sock yarn!
(well, in the store but it will take a day or two for me to photgraph them
all and add them to the website.

new Indie designers are here! (click the images)

And here are some cool new handspuns and hand painted, including more Ozark.
     

And “oh my gosh” you’re gonna die when you see the new Insubordiknit monster hat kits! Some of the coolest yarns we’ve ever seen.

Also want to let you know that new colors of Blue Sky Alpacas cotton are about to be on the site, and you must see the new patterns. Speaking of patterns, I’m still working on getting the Chicks with Sticks patterns up there. More Lexie Barnes bags will be here next week, we’re taking orders for full sets of the popular and oh-so-dreamy rosewood circular needles (24″ length, full set at 20% off, just email us), and….Okay, I’m out of “breath” ;-)

And what is that little rectangle thing? The new MINI pouches.
Everything is so gorgeous… even if you can’t afford a bag right now, although it should be on your xmas list, you can get a pouch in your favorite fabric!

All Lexie Barnes prices dropped this month. The public response has been so good that they can order more bags and pass the savings on to us!

How cool! Each one has a variety of colors, and you get every kind of SWTC yarn to knit up a cute little bag that is big enough to fit your cell phone and credit cards… I especially love the darks, great combination of colors.

AND … they are also running a promotion for Karaoke yarn. Click the image to read about it. Free knitting needles anyone?!
