Giving Thanks…

A big thanks to all of you for being a part of our fiber community.  Please join us over the Thanksgiving weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) for 10 % off all yarn purchases.  We will also have many new markdowns on the sale shelves. 

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Just in time for winter!

Our Einstein KAL has produced another finished coat.  Deb has done hers in Noro-Iro.  She made it her own by adding a contrast yarn for collar and cuffs.   Debs coat is definitly good for our cold mornings as hers was done in chunky yarn.

A First!!!

Norma in her Einstein Coat

As many of you know we had/have a little KAL going on here at By Hand Yarn.  It is an Einstein Coat KAL.  I am happy to announce that Norma has finished!  This is her first sweater and it turned out great.  Way to go Norma, we are proud of you!!!

New Knitter on the Block

As I referred to in the previous post, there’s another new knitter on the block.  This is Carol with her Rambling Rows afghan.  Carol and Jan have pushed, encouraged and taunted each other through classes together.  Way to go gals.

New Knitter?!

 

 

 

We have a couple of knitters that are truley amazing with all they’ve accomplished in the short time they’ve been knitting.  Above is Jan, who learned to knit 5 months ago.  The picture shows her wearing her first hat, a rambling rows afghan and a fair isle sweater she just completed.  Way to go Jan! 

The other new knitter I referred to is Carol.  I will post her picture next week.

Handspun

The above hat was knit by our friend Lynette. She started by spinning the new Mountain Colors roving.  What a beautiful fall colorway!

Learn to Weave!

I am excited to announce Lynette Eads will be teaching a weaving class at By Hand yarn.  I have to admit I am a bit self serving, as this is something I am interested in learning.

Retreat 2009

Hard to tell if its “fun” or “work”!

Thanks to Victoria for bringing retreat pictures to last nights single skein.   There will be more random posting of pictures throughout the Fall.

A Little Treat

There is sooooo much new Noro in New Colors…. I have decided to mark down some of last years colors in order to clear space for the the new.  So, anyone coming in today and tomorrow is in for a real treat.  There is Kureyon (great for felting) and Iro on the sale shelves.

All you Single Skein Social attenders….its a great time to dig out your hat pattern done in Iro.
