UFOs

I have been feverishly working to complete myt UFOs because the new patterns this fall are amazing. I will be working with Geode and Jasper from Berroco, Peter Pan from Wendy, and of course my new favorite yarn Aspen from Universal Yarns. I want to have atleast one vest and one sweater completed by Stitches East. I have two baby items by September. This will allow me to really get to knitting an alpaca wrap the my sister decided that she hated working with! I have been looking at it for 6 months and just can't pick up a lace project now.
Don't forget the shop will be open Tue from 9am-2pm and Flying Finger knit night Tue at 6:30, Thurs 9am- 2pm. I have order some new yarns and I hope to have them in soon. I have also ordered books for the shop libary so come by and 'check them out'.

Stitches East registration open!

Yes, June has passed & like most people I know we have no idea where it went. I recieved in the mail on Friday the catalog of classes for Stitches East. Although registration began on the 23rd there were only two classes that I wanted to take were full. I registered and book hotel today! Boy am I ever excited about an event in November! This year Stitches is focusing on Socks! There are at least 6 classes dedicated to socks! Please check out the classes at http://www.knittinguniverse.com/ ! I am sure that you will find something to get excited about too. Make sure to attend the fashion show! That is the night at so many wear what they have made. Some good and some bad! I will be taking pictures this year!

Todays weather is perfect for knitting. I have yard work to do then the needles will be flying at 6:30 as I sit on my back deck enjoying the cooler weather and hopefully a nice breeze! I am trying to help a customer with a pattern and I am just having to work thru it myself to determine why it seems to be so difficult.

Flying Finger Knit and Crochet Club will be meeting July 8th 6:00 until 9:00!
