Knitsy

Have you found Knitsy yet? Knitsy is a new (FREE) digital knit and crochet magazine for your iPad or smart tablet! It looks to be absolutely fabulous with gorgeous photos and all the knit and crochet stuff you love! I plan to spend some quiet time going thru Knitsy page by page this evening!

All of you that are in the shop regularly know Louise.... our Lovebot. She debuted just before Valentine's Day and has been in the shop every day since. You are going to be surprised that Louise is in Knitsy! Yes, she is! I remember an email asking if they could use photos of her, and I did give the okay, but had forgotten about it. She is quite the cutie!

I spent the day doing domestic things - laundry, cleaning and cooking - getting ready to work the rest of the week. Baking the coconut banana bread from Pinterest was nice filling the house with a wonderful aroma and it is very good! (My first batch is going into the back yard in the morning for the resident critters - crows, rabbits and a young raccoon that on our back porch these days). Joe will enjoy the second batch which turned out perfect!

On the knitting front, I have been knitting small socks for Jacob! It is my relaxation in the evenings. They are so cute and quick. No, they aren't booties, they are actual little wool socks. Very soft little striping wool socks for a very special little boy!

We are planning a SUMMER OF SOCKS at iPurl beginning in May. Sock classes will be offered all Summer as they are the perfect Summer project - small and easy to carry with you anywhere. You will be able to learn everything you ever wanted to know about sock knitting.

Crochet is absolutely blasting out of the past! I bet you have noticed! it is everywhere from the Junior Dept at Macy's to every magazine you pick up! There will be cute crochet projects through the Summer months. We hope to offer something for everyone! We have already sold every issue of Vogue's newest Crochet edition! More should be on the way.
