Yarn & Knitting Blog

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas. If you live in the Cincinnati area, you know we had quite a snow storm. We had to close the store this past Wednesday because the roads were just too dangerous. It was nice to have a white Christmas, although I think I've had my fair share of shoveling.

We are open all this week, except for Friday and Saturday. We finally got our parking lot cleared, so there are plenty of available parking spots. Hamilton had some difficulties getting plows out to the streets, so please be careful around town. The warm whether scheduled for the rest of the week should help.

I decided I was not going to kill myself with projects as gifts this year, so I mostly worked on scarves, hats and headbands. I also felted a really cool bag for my sister-in-law. I used Cascade 220 and mixed in a little Kertzer Fizz as embellishment. The made a couple headbands from Splash and Cascade Fixation for my nieces. The Fixation gives it just a little stretch so it can easily be put on your head and the Splash keeps your ears nice and toasty. I knitted it in 2x2 ribbing to give it a little more room to stretch.

Our class schedule is now posted on line. We have tons of fun classes planned for the next 4 months. We have tried to put in a good mix of day and evening classes so if you are driving up from Cincinnati, you will be able to join our evening classes.

Long time, no blog. I apologize. We have been extremely busy at the store. Which, of course, is a good thing. I wanted to post some of my latest projects.

First is the Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool sweater I have been working on for some time. It is finally complete and have been given as a belated gift.

Next is the Harrisville Designs New England Shetland fair isle hat I have been working on. I am extremely happy with how it is turning out
