class for us. Pat took the class and created some beautiful colors with her yarn. Yesterday she brought in a scarf that she had made from that yarn...with beads added. At first glance, it looks like the fringe is yarn. But it's not...it's small seed beads. And you can't tell from the photo, but there are beads scattered throughout the scarf as well. What a beautiful scarf! Not only is she a great yarn dyer...she's also a great knitter! Thanks for sharing with us, Pat. Your scarf is gorgeous!
Marilyn finished a 2nd afghan...yeah! This one is for her son's girlfriend. You can tell it was a lot of work...from the size if nothing else. Your son's girlfriend is going to love snuggling up in this beautiful afghan! I know you're glad to have these 2 afghans finished because you've been working on them for almost a year now. Another great job, Marilyn!
Melinda is taking th
e Weekly Class with Lisa and has already finished a project! Here is her hat made out of Noro's Silk Garden. The pattern came from the "101 Designer One Skein Wonders" book. Melinda, I know you're learning a lot from the Weekly Class. You're doing great! By the way, there are a lot of great patterns in that book...and you can do as Melinda did and get that one skein from our sale bin! You might want to consider getting that book to use for upcoming Christmas presents you could make. And if you're interested in learning more about knitting, the next Weekly Class starts on August 28. Call the shop for details.

And Tracy brought in her "Crazy Monkey" socks last night to the Lace KAL. These are the famous Monkey socks from Cookie A....but with some changes. The biggest one being that they are toe-up. The sock is made from Crystal Palace's Panda Cotton yarn...one of my favorites. They look great, Tracy! Tracy's already working on the 2nd sock...so no second sock syndrome for her!
And while I'm at it...I have to let you know of new items that arrived this week:
- More Carolina Yarn Bells...we have all 6 right now for you to pick from.
- Louisa Harding's Hulda yarn...a bulky wool/silk blend that is simply scrumptious! 8 great colors to choose from!
- Classic Elite Summer Sox...4 great colors of this cotton/merino blend.
- Mountain Colors...lots of Bearfoot sock yarn, Winter Lace, and their Targhee Top Combed roving...still waiting on the River Twist to arrive!!
- Interweave Knits Fall 2008 issue
I hope you'll join us this evening here at the shop if you are participating in The Yarn Haven Olympics. Aaron Rents, next door, will be furnishing a television so we can watch the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics together...and cast on our Olympic projects together as well. This event starts at 7:30 pm...so bring your project and a snack to share. If you've got a folding chair, you might want to have it in your car just in case we need it. I only have 22 seats and I expect a crowd tonight. Even if you're not joining us in doing an Olympic project, you're still welcome to come tonight. OK...Ready...set...knit!
