Well, I have seen heaven on earth!  She is 7 pounds, 13 ounces and 21 inches long and she is incredibly beautiful! She is also soooo cuddly.  A little snuggle bunny.  Can you tell I’m in love!  And now I have two sweethearts.  My 29 month old grandson named Cole who opened my eyes to the grandparent world and to whom a sucker (no, not his Nana, a real lollipop) is the greatest thing in the world.  And guess who supplies the suckers?  Yes, you’re right.  I have them in my pocketbook at his beck and call. 

Also, I’m glad to see so many of you are working on the shrug.  And all the shrugs I have seen are just incredible.  I’ve seen them in organic cottons (yummy), alpaca (so soft) and other DK weight yarns.  An added bonus is that this pattern looks great on everyone. 

And I want to update you on new arrivals in the shop.  We have received the 1824 cotton - 18stitches in 24 rows.  A slightly nubby cotton that is wash and wear.  Great for all those baby projects and I want everyone to remember that all baby yarns (i.e. all yarns that can be used for baby projects) are 30% off in August in honor of my Miss Emma. 

We also have received in Shepherd’s Worsted and Helen’s Lace from Lorna’s Laces.  Shepherd’s worsted is a 100% worsted weight super wash wool in some of the most popular colorways from Lorna’s Laces that knits up at 4 stitches per inch.  While Helen’s Lace is a 50% silk, 50% wool blend that stitches up at 4 stitches per inch.

You also need to stop by and see the two yarns we have received in from Twisted Sisters.  And you want to make sure you enter this URL correctly on the internet or you will find yourself at the web site for Twisted Sister – “the ironmen of rock and roll” just like yours truly.  Boy talk about having a flashback to the 70s and 80s.  But from Twisted Sisters Knitting we have Daktari,a 100% slubbed cotton knit on a size 6 – 8; and Zazu, a 100% extra fine merino wool.  Boy, these yarns really rock man, like they are way cool, like they totally zoom me out.  Uh oh, stayed too long on the band web site but you get my meaning.

I hope  you get a chance to get into the shop and see these incredible yarns and take advantage of our baby yarn sale.  Before long I’ll even have a picture of Miss Emma.  Did I mention how beautiful she is?
