Some Gift Ideas...

Here's an easy project... easier than a scarf and takes less yarn and less time! A neckwarmer! This one's made with Berroco Foliage. Just one ball. Neckwarmers are great because they just stay on your neck and keep you cozy! Is there are pricey yarn you've had your eye on? Well now you can just use one skein instead of 3!

Fingerless gloves make great gifts for people who use the computer and want to be able to use their fingers and stay warm at the same time! They don't take too much yarn and you can personalize them with your own contrasting colors and finishing touches. Don't know how to make them? Take a class at the shop!

Here's a new sample garment at the store, a baby raglan sweater knit with Cloud 9 from Cascade. It's a wonderfully soft angora/wool blend at a great price. An easy project for a new knitter, too!
