Dear Friends, I hope you are all enjoying your summer and are in the full swing of the season. I have had a nice week at home; playing cards, mahjong, and knitting. My CMC sweater will be finished today and will be ready to block tomorrow. Is there anything better than finishing a project? It is so satisfying. Our calendar over the next month is so quiet! Mr. Monarch is having ankle surgery next week and will be on a scooter and hooked to an ice machine for at least two weeks. Slowing him down a little means my life gets to slow down too. We are introducing a new yarn line to the shop this week, and are thrilled to add Lamana yarn to our shelves. To start, we are stocking Como, a sport/DK weight merino that is next on my needle….I am just deciding between four different sweaters: Coomo Cardigan, Freestyle Sweater, and Aldous. We are also stocking Premia, a lace-weight combination of 60% mohair and 40% silk. It is so soft and yummy! Roma, the third new yarn, is like knitting with a cloud. It is an airy spin of 80% cashmere and 20% Mulberry Silk. Koryn is happily knitting the sweater we are featuring this week, Ruth. It is a fluffy, beautiful sweater combining the Premia and Roma. Check back with us next week, as we will start introducing the lineup of fall classes, knit-alongs, and events! Knit, and be Happy,Ann |

ColorfluxWe’re summer smitten with this shawl! A light and breezy triangular wrap featuring an easy slip-stitch pattern and soft garter stitch border. Worked one color at a time (no juggling multiple strands!), it creates a beautiful gradient effect without the fuss. We’ve paired it with color kits of Quince & Co Sparrow, a soft, drapey linen perfect for warm-weather knits. The result? A stunning, lightweight shawl that’s as fun to knit as it is to wear. |
