25 May 04 - 14:41Stitch & Bitch/New Arrivals
Come join us at Stitch & Bitch this Thursday, May 27th, from 6 to 8:30pm!
We've had a few new arrivals since last week that I wanted to show you, despite my camera's best efforts against me (dead batteries). So please excuse the slightly sketchy scans. First up, gorgeous Carneval from Muench:
Carneval is a cotton/Rayon blend ribbon that alternates between thick matte cotton spaces and a shiny rayon "split ribbon" in between. Two skeins would make a great scarf on size 13-17 needles.
Also from Muench is Sir Galli, a worsted weight raw silk in earthy, muted tones:
Sir Galli knits up on size 7 or 8 needles, and would be great for tank tops, tees, or cardigans. Two great summer patterns in stock are Knitting Pure & Simple's Summer Cardigan:
Or Oat Couture's Bistro Shirt:
Both patterns call for basic worsted weight yarns, and are fairly simple to knit. Make yourself a great cotton or silk garment you can wear three seasons (or all year for some folks) in our Southern climate!
What's on my needles right now? A cable and eyelet cardigan from the Spring/Summer 2004 issue of Vogue Knitting:
Here's mine, in Debbie Bliss Wool Cotton:
More pictures soon!
