The shawl calls for 8 skeins of Alpaca With A Twist Highlander and we have every color available on our shelf.  Also, you must have purchased a copy of Vogue Knitting, Fall 2009.  We might be blowing up some charts on the copier, but you’ll need proof of purchase before we share. 

This garment is perfect for the cooler Fall weather!  Hope you can join us!

These lovely pattern booklets finally made it into the shop and online!  Jared Flood has teamed with Classic Elite yarns and designed the patterns that make up the booklet.  The photographs are examples of his usual quality… makes the knits real yummy!

The Beaumont and Seneca are two of my personal favorites!

We also received in theClassic Elite’s Fall 2009 booklets, enough to keep us all busy for quite a while! 
You’d think it would be kind of difficult to be considering Fall Knitting, it IS in the 90’s today.  However… I’ve certainly got the bug, I always pick up the bug when something new and exciting comes out!
