Dear Friends,
The Knitting Temptations staff is hard at work to deliver the best of our shop to you! Although the size of our shop is shrinking, our imaginations continue to flourish!
Casapinka’s latest venture, “
The Sharon Show"
Summer MKAL, created the opportunity for us to play with colors! We had a great time! In our
ecommerce shop
you will find more than 25 kits we have assembled. My thanks to Barb, Becky, Beth, Deb, Linda, Jen and Kristen for all their ideas and work putting this project together.
We want to remind you of projects you saw previously in Tempting Tidbits. Today, you will find the
“Darn Knit Stripe It”
cowl included in this newsletter. It is a quick knit and uses just one skein of the magically striping Uneek Worsted. It is such fun to watch the colors evolve. We will continue to include more gifting projects. In addition to our many “tried and true” projects, we are testing patterns and yarns to share with you over the coming weeks.
In closing, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for all the dear notes, emails, texts and in-person messages that I have received over the past weeks. You make this transition much easier. I am truly blessed to have your support.
