Hey everybody! I’m back from my fun birthday weekend. I had a blast turning the big 30 this year! Woohoo! :) After my nice relaxing 3 day weekend (thank you Joan!!!) I’m back, refeshed, and ready for exciting new stuff to come in! Sure enough it has!!
This week is the week we have been waiting for...our HUGE Madelinetosh shipment arrived!!! Yaaaaay! All you Madtosh junkies out there...come and get it! The Tosh Merino Light I’m sorry to say is still backordered but meawhile there is a large selection. We have lots of Tosh DK, Vintage, Merino DK, and new colors of sock. It goes out the door pretty quickly so come in soon or give us a call! Here's a little teaser pic of some of the new colors....
and look how full the shelves are!!
Its a thing of beauty ain't it!? It makes us all swoon.
Along with all that Tosh we finally got in the new Knitter's Pride Dreamz needles. So, so exciting!! I have already treated myself to a Dreamz Deluxe Interchangeable Set...after all it WAS my birthday ;)
I am in LOVE with this set! The Deluxe set comes with needle sizes 4 - 11 along with 1 24", 2 32", and 1 40" cords. You also get a set of size markers, 8 end caps, 4 cord keys, and a case to put it all in. The cords are very nice and flexible and the joins are smooth. The needles are very fun, colorful and have a nice finish. Funny....I almost enjoy these colorful birch needles more than the yarn I'm working with! Right now I'm knitting a glove out of our new Louisa Harding Grace. Nice!
If you already own a set or want to give them a try there are a couple of starter interchangeable sets available. The smaller set comes with size 6, 9, and 10 needles. You also get 1 24", and 1 32" cords, 4 end caps, and 2 cord keys.
The larger starter set comes with needles 13, 15, 17, and the same cords and accessories as the smaller set.
You may also purchase additional cords and needle tips individually.
There are 6" double point sets for all you sock knitters...
These come with sizes 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3's! A case comes with.
A really nice 9" straight set too!
Great case too that comes with! Cool!
The Dreamz are also available for individual purchase in Straight, Double Pointed, and regular (non-interchangeable) circulars as well
The Rose Cubics are here too. They are made from birch, and laminated with a rosewood finish. These needles are cube-shaped for comfort on the hands, and help make more uniform stitches. These are available in interchangeable circular, regular circular, straights, and double pointed.
There are pretty cases you can purchase separately to keep your interchangeables and notions in too...
Whew! So many cool new things! I just had to show lots of pics!
The last thing I will share today (since I'm almost out of time) is a new magazine called KnitWear. It full of great designs, and there is a great article on grafting! Here is a few designs I thought were really cute...
I love the cabled cape on the cover!
That is all for now folks :) Stay tuned for more...
