KNIT LAS VEGAS

Could it get any busier?  Nope!  I think...Nope  I was so happy today to recieve the new Ribbon Tape in the store for the Ruffled Scarves everyone is looking so forward to learning and making.  I was excited and happily surprised(I didn't realize I had ordered that many colors:P).  I was also surprised by how many have already been purchased for Saturday's workshop. 

Because of all the people wanting to learn, I have decided to do 2 workshop...

Sunday morning...I love this morning  because I get a chance to reflect on the week and all that has happened.  This week was one of the best yet.  It seems that wonderful ladies who started as customers wanting to learn have become friends.  Friends have become support and that, I think, is one of the most important aspects of what a LYS can be.  Friends supporting friends!

I don't think gratitude can ever be overratted so let me take a moment to s...

Today was a great day at the store.  The whole air of the store is  lighter, happier and has a much more positive feeling lately.  I think the holidays have brought a feeling of togetherness and support that I haven't seen in a long time.  We laughed for the entire day today and the "Real Housewives" of Knit Las Vegas convened for a day of smiles.  We were also so happy to welcome Sally from Seattle to the store.  You made us smile  Thanks

New Yarns in the store!  Cascade yarns has sent some absolutely beautiful yarns and I am so pleased to create with these fibers. 

Lana Bambu is a Bamboo/wool blend that has an amazingly soft feel and colors that I think go fabulously with anything denim.  This yarn is great for garments, scarves and hats.

Nikki - a chunky/thin wool yarn that has a tapestry effect with amazing colors.  Each colorway features a mixture of colors that do wonders for interest in a...

I thought I might take a moment to say how greatful I am for local yarn shops.  I have seen in the past 2 years that it takes all kinds of shops to fit so many kinds of people.  I want to tell the ladies of Knit Las Vegas what a blessing you are and how much I welcome you to my table.  I opened this shop to be a place where people could come together and share a common interest, make lasting friendships and support one another.  That is exactly what has come and I can't th...

Spring in Vegas is great right? We go from 42 degrees one day to 100 the next and then *poof* Spring is over and Summer is in full effect. Well, we're getting there. I'm pretty sure Spring came and went last Thursday afternoon, so we are officially in the Summer of Socks!

The Summer of Socks is a pretty basic principal; it's Summer in Vegas and it's pretty much to hot to knit anything else BUT socks. So we're coming together as a group and knitting as many pairs of socks th...

For those of you who haven't had a chance to shop at the store in a couple of weeks, you'll find it invigorated by change! I have spent several days, over the last two weeks, shifting and sorting and beautifying our yarn selection. And I'm almost finished!

Some of the new sections include Sock Yarn, Baby Yarn, Lace, and Acrylic/Wool blends! Novelty yarns are also collected in one area and my new favorite part of the store is our new Eco Yarn section! Go here for organic wool...
