This Just In - FLEECE ARTIST & PERL GREY

As if the Handmaiden Sea Silk wasn't enough, along came the Fleece Artist (Handmaiden's sister company) order today!! Here's a peek at the Sea Wool, Blue Face Leicester and and Blue Face Aran kits. Each skein is unique and an absolute work of art - we purchased kits for felted totes and hats (Toto and Betsey), fingerless gloves (Hans), and an adorable baby set (Sea Baby). Here's a peek, brought to you by Fleece Artist and Perl Grey!

That darn squirrel!


He's going to have to go on the South Beach diet...right now he's evidently on the North Shore! Here's a pic of Filbert gorging himself on Calpholon Chocolate Cake last night at knitting group (he wasn't the only one, by the way). It was great --- Handmaiden Sea Silk and 4 ply Cashmere and chocolate, plus lots of good friends and knitting going on. A perfect evening, and a great way to celebrate the first day of Summer!

We Won the Chocolate Drawing!!


Imagine my surprise when the phone rang this afternoon and a customer said "Are you listening to the radio?? Knot Just Yarn won the weekly KAFE Chocolate drawing!" WooHoo!! As the radio station advertises, a 25 pound basket full of chocolate is certain to brighten up the afternoon doldrums!! We love you, KAFE!!! (104.3 on your FM dial, in case you were wondering...or wanting to enter. And by the way, if you win we expect an invitation to share!)

Here's a photo of the Basket o' Chocolate -- under all this chocolate goodness were a couple of dozen cartons of chocolate milk! They aren't fooling around when they say it's 25 pounds, by the way. The fridge is stuffed with chocolate milk AND the biggest chocolate cake I've seen in a very long time, and the back table is loaded with boxes and bags of yummy chocolate! So get your chocolate appetites ready for Thursday night and come join the group between 6 and 7:30!!! Happy Dance!!
