Knit for Pink!


As many of you have heard, we have a passion for pink in the store right now! Stacey and I are walking 60 miles for the Susan G. Komen breast cancer foundation. You can visit our team page to read about our training (and aches and pains :-)) or donate to the cause at:

We have some light pink saucy yarn in now that would make a great dishcloth for someone you know that may have been affected by breast cancer. The link for the pattern is: http://knitwits-heaven.tripod.com/breast_cancer_awarenesst.htm

Felted Fortune Cookies!




Check out this cool pattern for felted fortune cookies from Indigo Muse Knits Blog. Michael's in Christiansburg sells the Chinese take-out containers....I have some scraps of Cascade220 in a light ivory I think I will try with this pattern. I also have some dark brown alpaca, but nobody likes burned fortune cookies!!!!

New Berroco Sox yarn is in!


Check out this pattern from Berroco for their new Sox yarn. You could also make this in all white as a tree topper for the holidays. We have some new colors of Sox in (some are Hokie colored!). I am starting a pair of ankle socks...pictures to be posted soon!
