Also on the accessories page you will find the new Fiona Tote from Offhand Designs.
New Yarn
 
Noro Silk Garden Chunky is the big sister of Noro Silk Garden, a beautiful, hand dyed, silk blend yarn from Japan.  It comes in beautiful colors that naturally stripe themselves as knitted.

cherry
 
I knit the Cherry Garcia cabled neck tube last year in Iro.  It will look great in Silk Garden Chunky-something I will look at starting next week.  It is simple to knit on 8mm circular needles.

Greetings!
 
It is three weeks until Christmas.  The final push to get your projects finished has started or maybe you haven't started your projects yet.  Make sure you check out my blog.  I have just finished some great scarves and more will be added before Christmas.  Don't let anyone tell you that scarves are out.  I was in the grocery store the other day and I think I was the only female in the store without a scarf on-it was very embarrassing-I have access to many different scarves.

Some gift suggestions
zuma
The newest Namaste bag is here.  Zuma is currently available in seven colours.  Eggplant will be available as a special edition colour in the new year.
 
 
 
buddy
The buddy case is the perfect solution to keeping track of small items in your knitting bag.  The case will be available in the seven current colours of the Zuma bag.  I am hoping these will be here next week-they have been shipped from the US so it depends on the post and customs.  Watch my blog for more information.
Sock Needles
Sox Stix from Lantern Moon are now in the store.  These needles are available in ebony, rosewood or blondwood, 5" and 6" length, sizes 2mm-3.75mm.  We are already sold out of some sizes but there is a chance of getting them here in time for Christmas if you want to give them as a gift.
 
sox stix
 
Della Q has introduced the Lily Solely Socks needle case made out of 100% silk.  Perfect for your sock needle collection! It has six slots that accommodates multiple six inch sock needles of different sizes!
