Latest issue of knit scene (springwinter 2010) arrived along with the latest Cast on Magazine.
The latest pattern books from Classic Elite Gallery and Farmers Market are in and we have summer set, allegoro, sprout, classic silk, solstice, silky alpaca lace and premiere yarns to do the projects in.
Just in today are these cute hat shaped needle gauges from clover. Ever wonder why it is hard to figure out what is the right needle for the job when you are deciding between a 10 and an 11. Take a look at a needle gauge. A 10.5 is one millmeter size up from a 10 but an 11 is several sizes up.
New yarns are coming from Shalimar (Zoe sock, honey worsted, miss chunky). The dyer is in the process of getting a new website up so there are many, many more choices of colors than the site shows you. There are several designers doing patterns in this yarn (and when my shipment comes, it will have a new color card).
Monitors often lie. Green and gray are often confused on computer monitors from the color in real life. Purple and brown are also misrepresented. That is why it is so nice to see a yarn in a shop.
