It’s a Flying Saucer!

We just got this cool new sock yarn in from Schoppel Wolle. It’s called a Flying Saucer.

Flying Saucer sock yarn

Two strands of yarn are dyed together and then wound on a spool. You can knit both of your socks at the same time, and they’ll come out looking pretty close to identical. It’s a lot of fun to knit. Stop in and check it out!

Have you heard about the February Lady sweater? It’s one of the most popular patterns out there right now. Designed by Pamela Wynne, it is a take-off of Elizabeth Zimmerman’s original sweater designs. It is an easy sweater to fit. Its simplicity allows for your own personal design changes, and you can knit it in just about any worsted weight yarn.

Anne knit this one in Malabrigio Tonos. Amanda is busy knitting it in Hemp for Knitting. We are setting aside a 3 hour block of time in the shop each Monday, March 23 through May 3rd, for working on it together. So come when it works for you, or join us here or on our Ravelry group with questions and comments.
