A Perfect Day to Knit and Crochet

Today is the first day of our new website.  While it is still very much a work in progress we thought you would enjoy a more interactive experience.  All of us at the shop obsess about different yarns and patterns and now we can easily share all our WIPs (works in progress).

Enjoy the day.

The pattern calls for a size ten needle but I've been using a 7 (as in shot above) due to that being the needle in my KnowKnits Bag when I sat down.  But here's a shot of the beginning of one on a 10.

How could I resist these colors...
