First
An observation:
Have you noticed that when times get tough the tough get knitting ?
Just sayin'...

Now on with the New and Wonderful -
We are delighted to be featured in 3 ! brand new books. Nice!

First. because we're on the cover ( Very! nice), is Simple Style. Another terrific book by Ann Budd ( keep 'em coming Ann). We're in this one with the"Four Quarters Pullover"by the always innovative Pam Allen. Thanks Pam for yet another winner.

Next is Knitted Jackets by Cheryl Oberle. Another great tome from this endlessly creative knitwear designer. Loads of inspired jackets. Our piece is a shrug sweetly called "Seedling".

And last but certainly not least is Fiber Gathering by Joanne Seiff. The author visited Fiber Fests all over this fair land. Taos Wool Festival was one of them. Joanne found our store and in our store saw our Judy Dercum collection. She asked Judy to, por favor, come up with some signature Southwestern flavored pillows. Here's the result - 3 lyrical Intarsia pillows by our Intarsia Queen, Judy Dercum. A Trio of Southwestern-Style Pillows Check out all 3!
