February Newsletter

[Knitty City]

Well, the most romantic day of the year is almost upon us, and we have a little built in treat for you - a gift from Mary Jane Mucklestone, author of 200 Fair Isle Motifs.  Stop by the store and ask for a copy of her free pattern for the sweetest little half gloves you can imagine.  Be your own Valentine and make a pair of these for yourself - or better yet, make two pairs and give the other to someone you hold in your heart!  

**New Yarn!** Pearl was introduced to the Fyberspates  “Scrumptious Collection” when she was at TNNA (the yarn  industry’s wholesale show) this past January and  promptly  ordered  it in a  rich range of solid colors   Knitty City is now carrying a variety of weights: lace, DK and Chunky.  This silk/wool blend has a sheen (thank the silk) that is luxurious to the eye and hand. Also in store is their collection of patterns, all in one well edited volume.  Ask to see it and get inspired twice, once by the yarn and, again, by the patterns.
