Summer is always such a treat here in New England- from the first asparagus to tide-pooling at the ocean. Don’t forget to take some time to relax and knit or crochet after all those hours in the yard or out in the garden…Summer is truly about knitting for ourselves, and we have lots of great sock yarns, cottons and linens, bamboo and lace weight to tempt your fingers during the warmer months. Come on in to see what’s new! Join us for these fiber-tastic upcoming events: A fantastic place to get your fill of fiber is any one of Knitter’s Magazine’s Stitches Knit & Crochet Show. In August, we will look forward to seeing our Chicago friends at Stitches Midwest in Schaumburg, IL, August 19-22th. Then, come on down for Stitches East in Hartford, CT at the Hartford Convention Center, October 28-31st! This is a unique opportunity for us New Englanders to have a great show full of big name designers, classes and, of course, a kickin’ market right in our backyard- www.knittinguniverse.com has all the details.
And don’t miss out on the release of ‘Knitting It Old School’ this coming August…edited by one of our favorite Boston-based knitters, Stitchy McYarnpants. This sure to be a fave book features a knitted skirt design by our very own Kelly Bridges. As the name implies, ‘Knitting It Old School’ is a collection of funky, vintage-inspired knits designed to have you singing Sonny and Cher in no time! Stay tuned to the Ewe for more details.
Finally, we are very excited to host a Hanne Falkenberg trunk show this coming October 1-11th. As you may or may not know, a trunk show is a traveling collection of garments, and these will be beauties! Hanne's designs are gorgeous- with tailored lines to flatter any body. During this event, you can try on many of the designs to find the perfect fit for you- and there will be a wide range of colorwarys to choose from. And Kelly and Marci may just finish their kits they both started (ahem) some years ago. In the meantime, you can check out www.swedishyarn.com/swi_hf_collection.htmto wet your whistle! We look forward to seeing you this autumn at these great upcoming events!
