The Black Sheep Knitting Co.

Summer Socials

Beat the heat this summer at The Black Sheep Knitting Company.  Our new weekly
Stitch & B*tch will start this Saturday, July 12.  Join us to knit and chat in the AC, from 2 - 4.
This is a free, non-instructional group.  Some of you may remember we had a SNB in the beginning, on Thursday evenings.  It was disbanded to make room on our scedule for yet another class. Hope to see some of you.

Flower Basket shawl

I love lace. I started the Flower Basket Shawl this morning, a pattern from one of my favorite designers, Evelyn Clark. I am using the Noro Kureyon Sock yarn that I’ve been coveting since its arrival at the shop. It’s gotten mixed reviews by our customers. Some have said its too itchy, others adore the famous Noro color ways. I am with the latter group.
This is my color - beautiful!

We can’t wait for the new Silk Garden Sock yarn to arrive. Hopefully, it will be this month. Stay tuned. My Log Cabin scarf knit with Manos Silk Blend, is on hold. The new colors are in transit from the distributor. A beautiful yarn, very nice to work with.

Find a cool spot and keep on knitting.
