Customer Show and Tell

Chris Herz came in this week with a beautiful baby set knit using KnitCol yarn and a Plymouth pattern. This fancy set, with the cardigan and hat, was knit as a gift for a very lucky and obviously well-loved little one!

Ning's Newest Creation

Knit on US#7 with Plymouth's Royal Bamboo, Ning's newest creation, the travel neck pillow is to die for! She spoiled herself with this one, making sure that she would be comfortable on those long flights to see her family. This pillowcase was knit using the short-row technique to ensure that there would be no bunching of fabric around the neck.

Magic Circle Shrug

Pictured here is the Magic Circle Shrug, another wonderful pattern created by Ning here at Knitty Knotty. An easy pattern with which a beginner can grow... starting with only the knowledge of knit and purl, one can learn to increase, decrease, and pick up stitches... ultimately resulting in this snuggly shrug that even an experienced knitter would be proud to wear.

Show and Tell

A customer creation brought to you by Geraldine Fuller and Knitty Knotty. Geraldine is pictured here modeling her new sweater in Tweed Cascade 220. Her own pattern and about 7 hanks of this wonderful yarn knit into this wonderfully warm cardigan.

Side to Side Mohair Cardigan

Ning is here modeling her newest invention...the side to side mohair cardigan. Knit in 100% mohair with a pretty ruffled crochet edging in a coordinating color. The ruffle can also be knit on but Ning chose to crochet it on because she claims it's faster and she just couldn't wait to wear her new creation.

Old pattern, new twist

Cabernet Ribs from Interweave Knits, Winter 2006

Shown here in 100 % silk and mohair with sequins. The pattern works up beautifully in this new yarn! Ning found no errors when knitting but did note that the sleeves were a little long as written. With minor adjustments in length they knitted up for a perfect fit! When knitting this sweet little sweater for yourself, be sure to use your own measurement for arm length from underarm to wrist to ensure a custom fit.

New Yarns

Here at Knitty Knotty we have just received a new shipment of yarn from Karabella to warm up you and yours now that it is finally feeling like fall! La Llama is 100% Dehaired Llama and Chloe is an Angora-Cotton blend. Both are sensationally soft and luxurious! A single skein of either would make a lovely neck warmer for you or someone on your list!

Jaywalker's in Rio de la Plata

The yarn is full of beautiful colors plied together to make for one fun and fabulous knitting experience. When you begin a pair of socks with this yarn expect to get bitten by the "just one more row" bug because as you see the colors come together and play off one another you will not be able to put your knitting down.

Beaded Baby Beanie

Tired of making the same old baby gifts? Check out this ultra luxurious baby beanie! Donna just finished the new Tilli Thomas beaded baby beanie, using their new "Flurries" yarn. It is 100% merino with a carrier pre-strung with glass seed beads. The yarn was a dream to knit with, and the pattern was a quick knit. If you are looking for something extra special to pamper that extra special baby, look no further. The pattern requires one skein of Flurries (two for the larger sizes), so you can splurge without breaking the bank. Later this week, check what’s on my needles for yet another Tilli Thomas pattern, an Evening Trinket Bag made with Disco Lights, 100% silk with sequins – can’t wait!
