miniatures, classic elite web letter, summer set

I don't know if I have the joints/eyes to make the items on this site but they sure are adorable.

I love classic elite yarns.  You always get a beautiful fabric with them.  I had a customer come in with a sweater she is doing in summer set in the picket white color.  It was so classy looking but the best part is that it is the perfect sweater to keep in your car for all the cold restaurants and movie theaters.

Classic elite does a web letter that gives great suggestion for how to use all their yarns.  Check out their web letters

New Chic Knits patterns

2 new patterns from chic knits arrived yesterday.  Cerisara is a 20st cardigan with a lovely lace detail. 
Super cupcake is a hat/scarf set that is easy to do and very fashionable looking.  These are new patterns so they are not part of the storewide sale but the other chic knit patterns are.  Bonnie Marie Burns writes a great pattern and her patterns are printed on high quality paper.

strikketoj (Isager) and Avery

I just got my copy of Strikketoj a new book by Helga Isager.  It's secondary title is Knitting Designs Inspired by the Pop Culture of the 20th Century and it is a fascinating set of patterns.  I mean she even made an 80's sweater with the sleeves of that era look good.  I still have the Isager yarn in stock.
I have one extra copy that is not part of the sale if you are interested just ask.
It came along with Knitting 24/7 by Veronik Avery.  I have her Nordique yarn and that yarn is part of the sale. 

Classic Elite fall 2010 books

Sale - everything is at least 30% off.  Yarn is up to 70% off.

I recently looked at the new classic elite pattern books.  There are a number of great projects and there is something for everyone.

There are 5 books in the curvy knit series (chest size starts at 36 or 38 and continues up to 59")
Last year, each book carried patterns that used different yarns in the classic elite line.  I still have a number of these books in stock.    The new series for the fall 2010 (they are available in shops now) concentrates on one yarn per book.  For example the Sanctuary book that I have in stock here at yarnia contains patterns that uses wool bam boo.  Wool Bam boo has this gorgeous rich sheen.   Of course, I have never met a classic elite yarn that I didn't like, but the organization of the books means that you have in one spot several patterns to choose from if you are using yarn in your stash.  All you need to do is figure out which classic elite yarn the yarn from your stash is  like and then find that book.
