The Yarn Shop at The Yarn Show
Susan, Pat, Hattie & Cheri searched the halls and stalls of The National Needlearts Association annual trade show in Columbus, Ohio, and are returning with new yarns, new goodies, and lots of new ideas! Hattie kept us clued in to all the knitting celebs who walked past (that's Hattie with Vivian Hoxbro, who so liked how H looked in her Brenda jacket that Vivian took her own picture of our knitting diva!). Click here to see more photos from the show — though only one highlights any actual craftiness. And keep an eye out for all the new arrivals.

Knit some babes this summer
Have a young person in your life who'd like a soft, hand-knitted babydoll? Knitted Babes features five babe patterns, each with her own wardrobe. Babes can be knitted in different yarn weights — DK-weight babes are shown in the photo at left. Babes offer a great way to use up stash and large leftovers. Thanks to Doris Joe for lending her girls for our photo shoot.

Charlotte Sock Yarn Champion?
Here at The Yarn Shop, we're thinking our collection of sock yarn is the largest 
among Charlotte-area yarn shops — with enough yarn to knit 100-150 pairs of socks! Choose among tons of self-striping and self-patterning yarn from a variety of vendors including Opal, Universal, Berroco and Trekking. Prefer to do your own colorwork? You'll find plenty of solids. Love luxury? Try handpainted yarns from Claudia Handpaints and Cherry Tree Hill, or The Alpaca Yarn Company's Paca Peds. You can even get started on those spring and summer socks with the cotton/spandex Fixation from Cascade, Plymouth's Sockotta, Schoeller+Stahl's self-patterning Sockina Cotton, or crab shell-infused Tofutsi. Let us know if you find a better selection!

Nativity Knitting is underway!
Our Nativity Knitters have grown, but it's never too late to join in the fun! The morning group meets from 10a-12p on the fourth Wednesday of each month, with an evening group on the fourth Thursday of each month from 7-9pm — both creating one Nativity character a month. We started with Mary, then knitted our first sheep, and now we're on to Balthazar (a king). The group is free with the purchase of your Nativity kit, giving you a chance to enjoy a little Christmas throughout the year and finish your scene in time for the 2008 holiday season.
