Eye Candy

How about a little Noro intarsia pillow cover for your weekly eye candy?

Summer Home Dec!

It looks like the weather might be taking a turn for the sunny this week. We have declared it home dec weather! Also, summer is a great time to learn some new techniques. Let's start off with a fun short row pillow class.

Emily will walk you through the magic of short rows to create this beautiful pillow using three balls of Noro Kureopatora. Short rows have so many uses. If you've ever shied away from a pattern because of short rows, now is the time to learn! Once you have it mastered with this fun pillow, you will be able to use short rows for garment shaping, design features, color manipulations...all the applications! Her class starts in a few weeks, so give us a call or stop in to sign up.

Crochet Fever

Several of our gals have been bitten by the crochet bug.  Understandable with these pretty bits of inspiration, don't you think?  They've been working out of Crochet Living from Debbie Bliss.  This book is chock full of modern and classy designs.

The Dashing Doilies are so nice in the contemporary colors, and I am loving the coverlet below.  The white border around each square makes the colors pop so nicely.

I dig the Stripy Wave Show, but I would definitely use the color palette of our doilies.

This sweet flower garland is right at home in a kid's room or the living room.  You could just keep adding flowers as you get them done.

What do you all think of this sweet poncho?  I love the color and the big buttons.

Need some pillow covers?  This book has you covered.

Our ladies have been using a wide variety of the colorful Berroco Weekend DK to create their own fabulous versions.  This one is Ann's.  Good stuff.

Crochet is ideal for home decor, and this book is a great jumping off point.  Come take a look!
