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
