I am so excited over the handmade items we have for gifts
this year. This is one of the Handmade Wood Shawl
Pins, a great gift idea for knitters, crocheters, weavers or anyone
who wears shawls or scarves. Our friend who made the shawl pins also made
fantastic soap dishes for our handmade felted soaps. |

Leslee Perez of Texas shared this photo of the box she knit then felted
with our yarn.
The photo arrived at a perfect time as a customer was asking about using our yarn for a knit the felt purse. I always explain it takes our yarn much longer to felt in the washing machine because of the fine grade of wool; but Leslee's picture said it much better |

They call her Bell... and she would be the Belle of the Ball wearing
her new bolero shrug.
Looks like Bell is rather pleased at the knitting her grandmother Karen Sanchez did just for her. It is knit in Marr Haven Lilac Heather from a pattern in the One Skein Wonder book.
See another shrug knit by Karen's co-knitters, Maria. |

MaryAnn Inman of Michigan has made Locker Hooking
her favorite pastime lately. She did a beautiful rug for a gift, it is
a solid black with two hearts and a cross in the center. A perfect example
of how striking a single color can be.
I was so impressed by the evenness of her stitches that I had to put the close-up picture here. You can see the full rug and design on Marr-haven blog MaryAnn will do custom locker hooking. If you are interested, email me and I will give MaryAnn your email to contact you. |

Emily Johnston of Michigan designed and knit this great hoodie in Burgundy
Heather for her niece. I love the cable detail which is on the sleeves
and shoulders as well as the front.
Emily said: "This was the first time I combined patterns to get what I wanted and I'm very happy with the results. Ann Budd's sweater pattern book came to the rescue to give me a starting foundation." Thank you Emily for the inspiration to branch out with our knitting ideas. |
