Sassy Skein Designs and more ...

Wow, what a time gap since my last posting. Talk about a busy summer!

New products from Sassy Skein came in. An innovative new line of children's knitwear, featuring bright colors and beautiful yarns. We are pleased to now have in stock several of the Sassy Skein pattern kits, which include the pattern, complete with educational "tips and techniques" plus necessary notions, such as buttons, decals and ribbon (no yarn). Most of the designs can be knit with one of our favourite cottons, "Super 10 Butterfly". We keep a wide range of colors in stock, so you can start on your new project right away for your favourite little one. The pattern kits retail for $9.95.

Also from Sassy Skein - Buttons! Many of our customers asked in the past if we carry buttons, but up until now it's been difficult to find lines that we were really excited about! The button line from Sassy Skein is truly one of a kind, featuring bright, fun designs that will dress up your knits for the young at heart. Buttons are individually priced. The perfect finishing touch!

We also received a shipment from Nancy's Knit Knacks, including more of the popular Double-Point Work-in-Progress Tubes (DP WiP Tubes), which allow you to store your partially done socks and needles in a handy protective tube. No more losing your stitches when you put work away! We first stocked these tubes last fall, but quickly sold out. The set includes two WiP tubes plus a bonus tube to store your double point needles, and retails for $8.95.
