We had a wild and crazy Saturday at the shop - it was great to see everyone and hear the beautiful music from the two groups who stopped to entertain us!

I wrote this pattern up to match the Tulip sweater, but it works by itself too.You can buy small balls of Dream in Color Classy to complete this 6 color hat. Way fun to knit! You can also buy small amounts for use on the sweater as well. Patterns are available for both.

Sara dropped me an email with a pic I had to add to the blog. Check out her Blue Sky Polka Dot hat. How cute is that???She says: I fit right in in Turkey knitting on the beach... lots of ladies from Norway knitting the most adorable sweaters, hats and mittens. Funny that I have to go to Turkey to find some knitters over here. I'm still searching for a fun group to knit with in Copenhagen.The

We are checking for interest in our Fall knitting retreat. We know the economy isn't great, but all the more reason to get away and relax with The Tangled Skein crew. Call the shop or send us an email if you are interested. The Tangled Skein 507 934-2433tangled@hickorytech.net

Actually it's for her daughter. Great job! This is the first hoodie I've seen completed. I love the color. I believe Shelly knit it in the Cascade Eco-plus. Time for a new project!!

I am making this cabled hoodie for a class we are offering this fall at the shop. I can't believe how fast this is knitting up! The cables are really standing out as well. I may just need to whip up another one for myself :-)The yarn I'm using is Cascade Eco-Wool. I have the two front pieces and the back done and I just finished the first of 2 skeins. An entire wool sweater in under $30 - love

Yes, The Tangled Skein is under new management. Sally and Sarah have joined me and are diving head first into yarn bliss.Sarah's first question "What is my discount now?"Sally's first question "What did we order at market?"I want to thank them for jumping on board and more importantly, for loving The Tangled Skein as much as I do.Wish us luck!!!

There's a great article about the Sock Summit (August 6-9 in Portland, Oregon) along with a slide show of pictures.www.oregonlive.comOn Friday, they gathered to try to break the World Record for the most people to knit at once in one place. It won't be official for a week, but the old record was 256 and there were 1800 people registered for the Sock Summit!

There are some great new patterns from Chic Knits at the shop that I was eyeing on Saturday. Sally is working on this one and it is going to be gorgeous!I'll be at the shop all day on Saturday (we're open 10 am to 5 pm) so stop in to see if I'll resist the urge to buy yet ANOTHER sweaters worth of yarn and pattern! ;-) Bring your knitting and knit a row/round or two..

I love the new Interweave knits and can't wait to make some of the projects. Is it mean to say I'm really loving the fact that I got mine first and I didn't have to avert my eyes from the temptation of looking at the ones the store received first?!?Lori has shared her favorite from the new Interweave Knits... here's mine!Isn't it gorgeous? It would be so fantastic for all those hockey games I

I love this little sweater so much, I ordered the yarn for the shop before we even got the magazine.Where is that new Interweave? I know subscribers have it, that's a switch that you have it before the shop. I guess it's fair.

Check out this little hoodie!It's in the latest Knitscene available at the shop.I'm thinking it would be perfect in Mountain Mohair or Pastaza.
