We returned from a quick trip South to open three boxes that John the UPS Guy had delivered. We FINALLY have both SWIFTS and WINDERS in stock--these make great gifts (Mother's Day is NOT too far off!) for any knitter in your life. And a great yarn to wind on them? MANOS of course! We can never keep this yarn in stock for too long, particularly the variegated colors. And we have plenty now.

And two of our favorite books are back in stock: SALLY MELVILLE THE KNIT STITCH and COLOR KNITTING. We worship at the shrine of Sally, as her patterns are terrific, her instructions even better. We have taken to recommending THE KNIT STITCH to our absolute beginners--the book is nothing short of empowering for those eager to move beyond scarves.
