Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you are enjoying the weekend with family, friends and yarn.

woodstock Don't forget about the Woodstock Fleece Festival. It's less than a week away.
Saturday October 15
Woodstock Fairgrounds
The Woodstock Fleece Festival is an annual event that invites fibre artists and others to join together in an atmosphere of appreciation, learning and camaraderie.
The show will incorporate workshops and demonstrations from top instructors.  Exhibition booths will be selling everything from raw fibre to quality finished goods.

 
Easy Poncho for Fall
Ponchos are big this fall. Rita brought in her work to show off and I had to take pictures.
The pattern is called Margo and it is purchased on Ravelry. Rita used 5 skeins on tosh vintage and knit with the needles that the pattern asked for.

Margo Poncho uses aran/bulky-weight yarn and is worked flat, in two pieces (front and back), and attached at the shoulders using the three needle bind-off technique (so it's completely seamless!). Front and back sides are buttoned together. Both the front and back feature an easy faux cable stitch pattern that is fun and interesting to knit (they look similar to cables but are actually created with just slipped stitches and yarn overs). The back piece is longer than the front, creating a more modern silhouette.


Building Blocks
It's time for the latest Stephen West Mystery Knit A Long.
The first clue just came out but you have lots of time to join along.
Sign up by purchasing the pattern. You will receive an introductory PDF for the KAL. Download this PDF into your Ravelry library and you will receive the first section of the pattern October 7. Each following Friday you will receive the next section of the pattern until the final mystery shawl is revealed!
There will be small and large size instructions. Both sizes are very wearable and entertaining to knit. I recommend getting the full yardage amounts to be safe regardless of which size you knit so you have the most flexibility. You will receive yardage notes each week during the KAL so you can compare the amount of yarn you use to the recommended yardage in each section.


Hedgehog Fibres
Boombox
We're very excited that our next order from Hedgehog will be here in a few weeks.

There will be 30 colours of Skinny Singles and 10 colours of  Twist Sock in the boxes.

Shockwaves is a light and airy wrap of generous proportions. Pleasant and easy knit, great for showcasing all your cherished speckled skeins. You'll need 4 colours of Hedgehog Fibres Skinny Singles yarn. Simple construction will let your yarns shine.


Happy Knitting!!

Julie, Cathy and Lynn
