We invite you to join us in celebrating Miriam Felton and the release of her first book, Twist & Knit: A Dozen Knitted Patterns for Handspun, Hand-dyed and One-of-a-kind Yarns, on Saturday, August 14, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Miriam will be here with the cunningly constructed shawls & accessories from her book for you to try on, and to autograph her book for you. You'll love the patterns in this book which are specifically designed to use every precious yard of your unique yarns so that you can knit until you run out. Miriam has written an incredible section on techniques to get the most knitted fabric from your yarn and tutorials with clear photographs especially useful with lace knitting. Of course, we'll have plenty of copies of this elegant book on hand.

FALL IS AROUND THE CORNER

We've received our fist shipment of fall yarns and the trend is towards classics with a spin. When the box arrived from Tahki Yarns, it was brimming with new colors of Taos, a multi-hued wool, and soft merino Dove, each with dynamic pattern books ... and one of our favorite yarns, Montana from Tahki's Terra Collection. Everywhere you look this fall there is a great sweater knit in Montana. Check out the long cardi by the New York design duo, Lutz & Patmos in the Vogue Knitting Early Fall 2010 Issue. It would make the perfect piece for our winters. In the new book New England Knits by Cecily Glowick MacDonald and Melissa LeBarre there is Montague, a bulky lace vest by Melissa in Montana. We'll have a shop sample knit up soon for you to try on. And in the new Soft Sculpture Terra Collection from Tahki you'll have a hard time choosing which pattern to knit up in Montana... a vest (Sandstone Vest shown right), wrap or pillows.
