What's on My Needles

With the starting of the opening Olympics ceremony, I was diligently casting on 3 projects.  Seems weird to be adding to the already growing pile of UFO's by my chair, but I really wanted to participate in the Ravellenic Games :)  Luckily I was smart enough to only cast on small projects.  A hat, mitts and a scarf.  Hat done the next day now on to the mitts.  I am using the pattern for the Belle series out of the Winter Warmers book by Rowan.  Love the Lima yarn, it's so soft!!



New at the Shop

Just got in the new colors of Rowan Kidsilk Creation.  The grapey purple is gorgeous!!  Also, the new colors of the Creation Stripe are fantabulous.  Now which one to pick-hmmm.



We also got in 4 new colors in Marina and 13 new colors and styles from other companies.  Come in and check out all the new stock!!  We have shipments of new stuff coming in every couple of weeks for the next month so it is a wonderland of goodies every time you visit :)



Ravellenic Games

We had a great time at DLM last Friday!  Thanks so much to Sara, Merry and Dinah for putting the event together for us!!  It takes all of you to make the shop a success!!!!

Jennie's Jots

I missed seeing everyone last week but I just got back late Saturday after spending the week with my family, my brother and his family and my sister.  We were literally on the top of a mountain in North Carolina!


I spent many hours visiting and getting to knit while doing so :)  I made great progress on my Laureate cardi.  It is made out of the new Juniper Moon Findley lace.  Feels amazing!  Hope everyone else is finding that perfect summer knit!  Bring it in and share with the group :)


NEW PRODUCTS HAVE ARRIVED!!

Come in and check out our new products!  We have Juniper Moon lace weight and a great pattern book to go with it!  I'm working on the Laureate cardi.  We also received a huge shipment of Noro.  The colors are amazing!!!  Kureyon, Taiyo sock, Karuta, Silk Garden and Silk garden lite.




Come in and visit us soon and we will get you fixed up with a great new project!!

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Just got back into town at 6am Sunday from a trip to New York city!  I went with both my girls on a Beth organized bus (groan) trip. Boy did we have a blast, but not going to lie-hated that bus!

Worked on my Wisteria Arbor shawl in Blue Heron rayon metallic during the many hours we spent on the bus.  I am loving the way this yarn is working up and the drape is going to be amazing :)


My girls and I visited a couple of yarn stores while we were there.  One on the Upper West side and one on the Upper East side.  Wooly Bully definitely wins for yarn variety and friendliness of the staff!  Of course, I may be biased.

THE NATIONAL NEEDLEARTS ASSOCIATION

Beth will be going to TNNA in Columbus on Sunday and will be seeing what other yarn goodies we can order for the shop. I'm hoping for some great new colors in the Blue Heron rayon metallic :) 
Possibly a few others of us may also be attending and I will share all the news about what we saw in next weeks blog.


KAL ON JUNE 28th
(We moved the Wrap Me Up shawl to July so stay tuned for more info to come)

Join Sara and Merry for this months knit-a-long on June 28th from 6-8pm.  They will be teaching the Favorite Scarf Ever, which is downloadable here . Please register at the shop ($5 fee per person) so that we will know how many people will be attending.  Below is a picture of the sample that Sara has made in the Opal Duo.




SPOTLIGHT

Each week we will spotlight another yarn that we have enjoyed using at the shop.  This week is Ripple yarn from Tahki Stacy Charles.  It knits up quickly and blocks out great! We have a couple of great books with patterns available specifically for Ripple in stock and several beautiful colors.



  The tank on display in the store was made in color 7 and took 5 balls.  When you are measuring the length of your project make sure you stretch it, it does scrunch up a lot until blocked.





Hope you all have a great week this week!

It has been a great week at the Wooly Bully! I can't believe how the weather has been changing!  Trying to keep up with 90's then down to the 50's has been making me crazy.  Do I work on a cotton project with my Cascade or wait, it's cold again, how about a new sweater in Lana D'oro.  Then there are always the assorted UFO's floating around in my bins too.  Hmmm, think I will just finish my tank top in Ripple. It's a great summer addition to my wardrobe.  I will have a sample up by next week so feel free to come over and check it out :)
