I am running a special sale on Addi needles. It is unusual for them to go on sale, so stock up. They will be 20% off in April for May students. They will be 20% off for everyone May 1-10. I'm giving students first crack so they will have the needle for their project. If the needle you want is out of stock, put in a prepaid order by May 10 and you still get 20% off. Treat yourself to a great needle tool and save money too.

select items on 50%off if you buy a bag of it (Araucania Pehuen, Elsebeth Lavold silky cashmere, Noro Hatoru) May5-10

I am getting a big shipment of Sock Boot Camp from Southwest Trading Company.

Sock and lace yarn from Knitting Notions has arrived (we are talking gorgeous kettle dye!!) The shawl pins are beautiful.
DVD on Portugeuse knitting and the pins to make it work are here. (I am quite interested to see if this brings speed to ribbing)

Did you know that your local LYS (Local Yarn Store) can do special orders and provide you with service? Many times customers purchase yarn from a website because they didn't find exactly what they wanted or enough of what they wanted in their local store. Most stores do not put out all the yarn in a colorway, so please ask if you need more than you find on the shelf. I have a computer inventory of everything in the store. IF you give me a skein, I can tell you how many I have in stock. If you want a different color than I stock, I can get it for you as long as it is not out of stock with the manufacturer. If I carry a company, I can get other yarns in their line.
Many websites for manufacturers actually get their yarns from local yarn shops to fulfill an order so support your local LYS.

I found this pattern for a felted needle case on the Melanie Falick web site
see http://www.melaniefalickbooks.com/dec-2007-felt-needle-case-fro/
while checking out the knitted "meathead" hat pattern
you can get more links to various Falick's projects at http://www.melaniefalickbooks.com/
(I thought the house socks pattern was a good one too. Gauge yarn for yarn is 18st. Might be a good way to start if you have been afraid to do socks on fingering weight)

Go to http://www.knittingdaily.com/ Until May 14, 2008 there are 5 patterns that were voted readers favorites from Interweave Knits available for download.
I also have sweater patterns from chic knits, Mari, Knitting Pure and Simple, Oat Couture, etc that are reasonably priced if these do not appeal to you.

Congratulations to Anne Hanson (one of the teachers for the store) on getting published (Page 118) in the new spring 08 Interweave Knit! ! Her wing of the moth shawl is pictured in the latest Spin off as well.

6ply opal and austermann stepsock yarn is in (I also have the usual 4 ply). These are skeined up at 150g instead of the usual 100g. They are thicker than the usual sock yarn, but with the same great color patterning. These would be great for children sweaters as well as socks.
I have had the Kaffee Fasset sock yarn from Regia for awhile, but someone in class just finished a pair. I own a yarn shop and I am amazed at how much better these look as a sock than on the skein. This one is a sleeper. You really want to see what happens when you knit this stuff up.
I also got in a variety of novelty yarn. My suppliers and vendor magazines said this was not something to stock up on, but you, my customers, disagreed so ask to see the bins of ribbon, and eyelash.
