More Customer Projects to Share!

Today a customer, new to knitting but a long time crocheter, brought this scarf in to share with me. It's a WIP, a simple crochet pattern she found on Ravelry made from the Zauberball. Just another reminder how great this yarn looks knit up in lace!

Here's a very cute

little sweater knit up in the hand dyed Zoe Sock yarn from Shalimar. Though this yarn doesn't feel all that soft in the hank, after it has been washed & blocked it was very soft! Another superwash sock yarn thats great for baby.

And I couldn't resist sharing these knit-then-felted gingerbread men that customer, Lori, made for her coworkers (she works at See's Candy!) I had to look twice when she showed them to me - I thought they were the real thing - my photo taken with my phone really doesn't do them justice!

Seeing finished projects is probably the most fun part of owning a yarn shop. I need to remember to have my good camera on hand and to be better about posting them here - I promise to work on that!

Customer Brag-Board Time!

A customer that lives in Seattle and shops with me when she is in Salem emailed me this photo of her finished project - I love it when that happens! The sweater is Minnowknits pattern "Sideways" and she knit it out of the super soft machine washable Minnow Merino. Well done Kathy and I hope I see you soon!!
