The TNNA boxes just keep arriving. First up, thanks to the discerning eyes of MARTHA and ADRIAN, amazing buttons are here. Not just your ordinary buttons, these are made from wood, glass, and bone. Just gorgeous. Buttons can simply make a garment. Don't believe us? Don't buy your buttons until you are finished knitting, then come in and check them out on the project. You will be amazed.

Books galore,, and thanks to LYNNE, both old friends and new favorites. We are back to being fully stocked with 365 KNITTING STITCHES, the popular perpetual calendar we have sold since the day we opened. Ditto for LITTLE BOX OF SCARVES, and KNITTED COASTERS. That holy trinity of Sally Melville is back on our shelves: THE KNIT STITCH, THE PURL STITCH, and COLOR KNITTING. You will never find a better combination of patterns and instruction. And for those hard-to-find patterns, DEBBIE BLISS' JUNIOR KNITS is back in stock. Great patterns for toddlers through teens. Two new books: LAINES DU NORD and FAIR ISLE SWEATERS SIMPLIFIED. The first is a great way to learn to read patterns--all the designs are easy and yet very stylish. The second? You KNOW we are just crazy about color knitting this year!

Finally, we were very impressed when we met ANNI KRISTENSEN from HIMALAYA YARN at the TNNA show. Here lovely demeanor was only exceeded by the incredibly cool yarns she sells. Many are made from recycled silk and saris, and her pattern support is highly creative. We bought a lot of her yarn and many patterns including those for BAGS, SHAWLS, and JACKETS. We have already squired away five skeins to do her STAINED GLASS JACKET while on vacation later this summer, so hurry on in!
