Deck yourself out in colors like this and make those spring blooms wilt with envy. 100% made in America superwash sock wool from Done Roving is now available online!

I hate to be a tease but during our Saturday Open House, Marsha came in with her Pot 'O Gold scarf started! It'll be several weeks before we find it back on our shelves but that doesn't mean you can't order it now! Laura also walked out with two of her own colors; one being a true cyan (Southwestern Gem) which is not a friendly color when it comes to cameras but boy is it BRIGHT! I'm sure I'll be attempting to capture shots of it anyway, its just too hard to resist. See more colors, and keep your eye on this page http://yarn-store.com/done-roving-frolicking-feet-sock-yarn.html New stock will be arriving soon!

Relax and knit up something simple with your favorite yarn. Today I am showing you my latest COMPLETED (yes, I finished something!!) project: the Side to Side Pullover (#124) from Knitting Pure and Simple. http://www.yarn-store.com/knitted-shell-patterns.html I experimented a little and decided to use one of mt favorite yarns: Lorna's Laces Heaven. http://www.yarn-store.com/lornas-laces-heaven-yarn.html I knit it without ease, and allowed the looseness of the knit confirm to my body, thus giving it a fitted look. The pattern is actually knit much looser and drapes loosely down the body. Very cute!!!
