soft open

So I wanted to take a quick moment and share a secret with you guys ...Purple Iris is doing a soft open this week. They really pushed it the last few days and I have been there for a few days helping around the new shop and it is fabulous! I can't wait for you all to come in and take a gander. She will be open starting Monday the 29th of august . So come in and visit.

I also thought I would share with you one of the new yarns that we just put out today. I knit up the sample last night. It is called Berocco Link.

It is big and cushy comes in great colors and ...the scarf only took me one hour to knit!!! Can't beat that.

I used size 17 needles but it calls for 50 so if you have them great but if not it does work fine with smaller and the pattern (which is super easy) is on the back of the label.

Perfect for a holiday knit idea. Sadly us crafters have to start thinking ahead around now lol. There is lots of great new things to take a look at. Hope to see you there

cute as a button

One thing that can make or break a project is buttons. You really want the right buttons for a project after all the work that you put into a project.

Mrs Janna has a ton of buttons in all shape, sizes, andcolors.















The nice thing too is you buy just the amount that you need for your project instead of paying for a whole pack.















There are different textures, wood plastic, bone, silver....
circles, triangles, rectangles, ovals it goes on and on...















I thought I would show you a few of my favorites.
















I love love LOVE these little hedge hogs. I don't know why I just do. :)















The textures of these are very different and cool.

and last but not least...

Who doesn't love some animal prints..

So pop in and check them out they tend to get looked over and I love them soo much.

The newest goodies in the shop :)

I finally got a moment to sit down and show you guys some more of the new goodies Mrs Janna has got into the shop.

Here are the new 9'' circulars great for sleeves. They are clover bamboos in all different sizes :)

She also got in a bunch of new colorful Laurel Burch things. Like some socks,

bags of all different shapes and sizes,

with cats,

and dogs,

wither you need a little bag for your knitting doo-dads,

or a purse big enough to fit your full project as well as your other necessities,

they are there for sure,

in lots of fun colors and patterns. And of coarse she has other bags in other shapes and sizes for what ever the need :) So swing in and check it out. Have a great memorial day and drive careful:)

Knit in Public Day/ new goodies.

So I have been busy and lots of great new things have been coming into the shop that I have got to show, but first things is first. We have a great event coming up. Saturday June 4th is knit in public day. Janna will be hosting out front of the shop from 10-4 Bring chairs, umbrellas, and any project you feel like working on. :) Newbies are welcome too. C.offee and water will be provided and if weather is rough we will be inside :). So please come on out and have a good time with us and enjoy a great day.

Now on to the updates. Janna got in some new books one great one is Grammy's favorite knits for baby. There is tons of great stuff in there. Super cute for those of you who have any expecting moms in your life. They work great for all the new baby yarns I posted earlier too :)

Here is one of the favorite projects that Janna knit up for a store sample. Great little cupcake hat. :)




Anther great new thing she got in which will be perfect for traveling during summer vacations is the knit kit.

It has every little knitting accessory you might need like scissors, end protectors, stitch markers, darning needles, and then..

On the other side there is a crochet hook (for all those pesky dropped stitches) , a row counter , thread cutter, and a tape measure. :)

All in a great little portable kit:) Well I have tons of other things to share but I will have to spread them out :) Keep checking in to get all the updates and you never know we might throw another drawing out there so make sure that you click the button to follow the blog and "like" us on facebook .
