Ready for our close-up…

I am SOOO excited, I can barely sit down long enough to type a blog post! Interweave Knits has long been one of my favorite knitting magazines, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to receive my subscription copy yesterday, open up the magazine, and yep, it’s there! Great Yarn Company’s first national ad!!

This issue’s chock full of inspiration – and lots of great sweaters and projects – my fingers are itching already! If you’re an IK subscriber, you should be receiving your issue any day now, and it will be arriving at bookstores and newstands in the next few days, for everyone else.

I especially like the Afterthought Darts Cardigan, a very intriguing design, which is shown in Louet Kidlin Lace. This sweater features darts added after you have knitted the sweater, for a made-to-measure, personalized fit – and the Kidlin Lace give the sweater a fluid, weightless appearance. Lovely!

Denise Interchangeable Needles have been one of our most popular products, and with good reason. You have every size needle right there when you need it – what a relief! They’re great for travel, as they don’t show up in x-rays at security points – no more arguing with security agents in airports! And now, they’re are available in Denise Singles – individual needles in single sizes!

And the Denise folks have introduced another new product, Denise Organizers, which are featured in this IK issue’s spotlight feature. These versatile organizers can hold your Denise kit or all the parts without the kit case, plus all the other goodies you usually tuck into your knitting bag. How clever is that?!

Still knitting away on my Wrap Me Up Shawl, no new progress photos, but it’s coming along. I’ll have updated pics for you in a few days, when there’s more to show for my efforts.

Trying to knit and admire our new IK ad at the same time,
Sue
