Today's Knitting Story:
The Boyfriend Curse Reversed
One of my longtime students reported today that she went ahead and knit a small scarf for her son's girlfriend. This is not the girl for him, according to my student, but she decided to be loving and accepting as these two had been together for quite a while.
Project got finished, folded and packaged, ready to be presented the next time the son and girlfriend visit. Instead there is a phone call from the son saying that he broke up with this girl that very day!! Watch out you non-believers, you could get the curse of the boyfriend knitting without even being a boyfriend!.
Stay tuned for more stories form the knit shop.

Here is a quick to knit project done with one skein of Inca Alpaca from Classic Elite Yarns. This yarn is now on sale so plan on stocking up in plenty of time for holiday knitting. The pattern is free with yarn purchase and is sized for both men and women. This morning a young man purchased the whole shebang as a gift for his girlfriend who is just learning to knit. I love it when that happens.

Another shipment of Ellyn Coopers Baroque Pearls has arrived, and the colors are brilliant. Don't wait too long to check them out because they are already selling.

Fall orders are scheduled to arrive during the next few weeks. I will continue to post as these sous yarns get unpacked and placed on thcrumptie shelves.
Only a few more weeks left to our summer drop-ins on Wednesday and Friday mornings. From 10am-noon you can get your knittigf problems solved for only $15.
