Noni Knitting Patterns
While searching the Internet last week I came across
some amazing felted bags. I have ordered them in
and hope
that they will be here by the end of January. These
won't be on the website until they arrive but you can
email me to reserve the patterns you want.
The Lattice Bag can be knit as a rectangular bag as
shown or circular (round bottom). Both of the bags
in this pattern are larger bags that can be made as
shoulder bags or handbags.
While the pattern on these bags may look difficult, it
is not difficult to knit. Beginning to experienced
knitters are invited to try this bag. The trickiest part
is keeping your tension a bit on the loose side so the
finished felted fabric is nice and smooth. For
beginners who are a little shy of color work, you may
want to work the bag in a single color for a wonderful
texture without worries about tension.
Noni patterns has other great designs as well as
patterns for felted flowers to adorn your bags.

| Welcome 2007
We hope you had a happy and safe new
year.
I am off to San Diego on January 12th
to see the new spring yarns. Some of the new yarns
have started to arrive with most of them arriving
around February 1.
After much debate we are thinking about changing
our store hours. Many of you request that the store
be open late one night a week. We are looking to
change the hours on Friday from 10-5:30 to 12-7.
Please email
me with
comments on this.
Check out the new look of my blog. If you are
thinking of starting your own blog, Blogger has
made it much easier for you.

Our latest shipment of Bearfoot just arrived and I will
be bringing more skeins home from San Diego.
If
you
have knit with this yarn you will agree with
me that
it is beautiful. If you haven't tried it but love knitting
socks,
check it out.
This soft, washable wool blend is perfect for socks,
baby
gifts,
shawls or scarves.
The yarn is made up of 60 % Superwash Wool, 25 %
Mohair, 15 % Nylon and there are 350 yds on a 100
gram skein. One skein will make a pair of socks.
The pattern shown is the Bluebell Rib Socks. It is
one of the new patterns for spring.
