Afghan DONE!

Entrelac blanket

I wove in the last end Thursday night. Isn’t it pretty? I had enough yarn left to start a quick little baby hat from the book 60 Quick Baby Knits

I am making the Ruffled Cloche.

I don’t have a specific baby in mind yet, just wanted to use some of the left over Kraemer Perfection from my afghan. Speaking of Perfection, we got a shipment in yesterday. The shelf looks so pretty with all it’s colors back! Also speaking of new stuff, the boxes are starting to pile up around here with all the goodness that is arriving. Be sure to come by and see what’s new soon.

Sweet Surprises

Behold the beauty of the latest arrivals from Brooks Farm Yarn!Image1Image2 Sherry and Randall took a few moments out of their preparations for the Taos Wool Festival and brought us 4 tubs of yarn.  We have over 100 skeins of Acero and over 100 skeins of Trio.  If you have ever knit with BFY before you will most likely be familiar with Acero but Trio would be the latest addition to their line-up of fine yarns.  This worsted weight yarn is a springy combination of wool, baby alpaca and silk that will make your toes curl.  With 420 yds/ skein for only $27 you can make a luscious sweater with 4 skeins – a fantastic deal for hand-dyed yarns!  These beauties are dyed specifically for us here at the studio and will not match any skeins you might find on-line or in their booth at festivals.  Obviously, quantities are limited – shop early for the best selection.

Also in this week we have had shipments from Kraemer, Brown Sheep, Knit One Crochet too and Bryson.  Well stocked doesn’t begin to describe it, more like bursting at the seams! Most of these goodies are available in studio only, not on the website.  We simply have not had time to update the website to show them all.  If you have any questions about yarns or supplies we carry please feel free to drop us an email at alissa@knittingfairy.com or give the studio a call (214)412-2889.

This week at Knitting Fairy

  • Posted on April 20, 2010 at 11:59 pm

We have a Knit Night scheduled for Thursday night, April 22nd from 7-9pm, $10.  Bring any knitting dilemma and get some help from Alissa.

On Sunday (April 25th) we will be Stitchin’ at the Studio from 1-4pm.  Bring any needlework project and join us for a fun afternoon of fibery goodness.  There is no charge for this gathering.

While you are here, take a look around at the new arrivals in the showroom.  Just unpacked today – Needle Gauges from Debra’s Garden including the Dark Purple “Animal Welfare Awareness” fundraisers are back in stock. We managed to wrangle another shipment of the Imperial Blue Sterling Silk and Silver that we had at Fiber Fest.  Not the standard Imperial Blue, this one is more purple than blue and STUNNING! (due to the limited nature of this colorway it is not listed on our website.  Email us if you wish to purchase and we can let you know what we have in stock) We have also restocked the Sweet Little Things pins that were so popular at FiberFest and thanks to the UPS man, our needle inventory is back where it should be and Chiaogoo Swifts are back too.

Wish you could shop but can’t stay for class? No problem! Come on by the studio and browse, we will be glad to see you. Alissa will most likely be there all afternoon on Thursday, so if the door is locked – knock! Or, call first and let us know you are on the way and we will be sure to meet you. (Not that we plan to leave, but a soul needs to eat from time to time)

Hope to see you soon!
Alissa

What’s coming? DFW FiberFest, of course!  (April 9, 10 &11th at the Addison Conference Center) Knitting Fairy will have a booth (same location as last year for returning shoppers) and Alissa will be teaching two classes. The first is on blocking knitted or crocheted lace and the second is on knitting with beads.  Knitting with Beads is filling up while more room remains in Blocking Lace.  Sign up today to be sure of your class spot and have time to do the homework!

As we prepare for the booth at FiberFest, new goodies are arriving all the time! New this week are yarny buttons.  So cute and perfect for a little something for all your knitting and crochet friends.  Also in, a restock of our popular Kraemer Yarns: Perfection and Sterling.

Of course, we have more goodies on order and some special items that will be available in the booth ONLY during FiberFest, so get there early for the best selection.

We will be conveniently located next to our good friends at Brooks Farm Yarn and Alissa will be happy to help you with selecting the perfect BFY to use with the patterns we have designed for them.  Be sure to check out the latest designs, Counterspell and Matadora.

Don’t forget, we are Stitchin’ at the Studio on Sundays from 1-4pm.  Come join us for some yarny goodness and lots of laughs! Directions here

ShoulderBlingOur shipment of Kraemer Yarns Sterling Silk and Silver in Princess Pink has arrived! This is the color used in the picture on our Shoulder Bling Shawl.

Knit it in White Veil and it would be perfect for a lovely Spring bride.  Worked in Tuxedo it would be great with that little black dress.

You will need 2 skeins for the 60″ shawl and 3 for the 80″ version.

Kraemer Perfection

  • Posted on January 9, 2010 at 2:33 pm

y1523 PurrSince I am enjoying knitting on my Entrelac Blanket I thought I would take some time today to tell you about the yarn I am using, Perfection by Kraemer Yarns.

Perfection is a worsted weight yarn with 200 yds/3.5 ounce skein. It is 30% Domestic Merino and 70% Acrylic, machine washable and tumble dry.  The merino part makes it much softer that other wool/acrylic blends on the market and it feels heavenly!  It is currently available in 40 luscious colors with that color range expected to increase to 48 this quarter.  We keep all colors in stock, so you can start your project as soon as you dream it up.  If, by some odd chance we do not have enough of a color you need – I am more that happy to order plenty for you.  Kraemer is fantastic about shipping so you will have minimal delays.

I think that certain things need to be machine washable.  Baby stuff, afghans… that sort of stuff.  This yarn is just as it is billed, Perfection!  At $5.95/skein it is also affordable.  Something I think we can all appreciate.

The best part? Kraemer yarns are spun right here in the USA in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.  When I was growing up my Dad worked in the auto plants in Detroit.  I have a deeply ingrained sense of “Buy American” and I was thrilled to find Kraemer yarns.
