New In The Shop

First up we have July's Sassy Holiday colorway from Knitted Wit- Itsy Bitsy in honor of National Bikini Day on July 5. Whether you like your swimsuits to be one piece or two, this colorway is gonna bring some sunshine into your life.

Speaking of Knitted Wit, we are participating in their "Knit the National Parks" challenge which means we are getting four new National Parks colorways every month this summer. When you buy these yarns you will get a passport to collect stamps for each one. Buy 4 colorways and you will get a free "Knit the Parks" patch, collect all 16 and you will also get a "Knit the Parks" enamel pin. So far we have loved every single colorway delivered, we can't wait to see next month's parks!!

Are you tired of Knitted Wit yet? Yeah, neither are we. Anyway in addition to the yarn clubs we also added quite a few colorways in their Fingering yarn. We cannot say enough good things about this yarn, but judging by the rate it flies off the shelves, you already know how great it is.

We just added 17 new colorways of Tosh Sock and we couldn't be more excited about it. We love this yarn for everthing from socks to sweaters, it's soft, durable, and beautiful. In addition to new colors in Tosh Sock, we have 8 new colors of Vintage for your knitting pleasure. Unfortunately, all of the colors had not arrived before we left for vacation so only half are shown here. All of the colors are in the shop now so swing by and check them out.

Looking for a new project to take on? Try out Black Sheep Goods tapestry looms!!!It's a great way to use up odds and ends of yarn in a way that you can enjoy no matter what the weather is like. These laser-cut looms by Nashville's Black Sheep Goods come with everything you need to weave your first wall hanging and when you are finished, the loom and the tools can be used over and over again with yarn from your stash. We have a fresh selection of kit colors right now so why not give it a try? On a related note, we also carry 6" tapestry needles should you find yourself in need of one.

Our Yarn of the Month for July will be Zooey by Juniper Moon Farm. We love this slightly thick and thin DK weight cotton/linen blend, it strikes a great balance between softness and durability. The neutral colors are great, but we also really love the bright colors. There are a few projects around the shop in this yarn- Robyn made two Cross Hatch Shawls with Zooey as the background color, Susan made the Clara Sweater that she will be teaching this month in this yarn, and Sarah knit up some items for her kids: Gavrosh Pants, Summer Tank and Cherry Bomb Skirt (down one needle size). This yarn is also a perfect choice for our July KAL so it is a great time to pick up a few balls.

For July we will be knitting the Vine Street Vest by Joyce Weida of NorthbroKnits. This vest can be worn in several ways to creat different looks and it is the perfect summertime garment carrying you from hot outside temps to coll inside temps or for a little extra protection on a cool night. 

 

The project knits up quick on US10.5 needles and used 2-3 skiens of Juniper Moon Farm's Zooey yarn, but if that doesn't fit your style, we have several other compatible yarns for this pattern including Kelbourne Woolen's Mojave if you happen to be doing thier summer KAL challenge (more info on that here.) 

 

All ReBelle knit alongs are free and open to the public. You are welcome to attend as many or as few of the KAL sessions as you like.

 

The pattern can be found on Ravelry or you can buy it in the shop.
