Wonderful Week of Wandering in Montreal

Just back from a fantastic week in Montreal and wanted to tell you all about a great yarn shop I found there. The name of the store is Magasin de Fibre L.B. Inc.
or AKA La Bobineuse de Laine.

The store is at 2279 Mont-Royal Est and it has tons of industrial yarns on cones. The ones I picked up are worsted weight all cotton yarns in luscious color combinations of about 6 or 7 fine yarns mixed together. I have tried to upload the photo, but keep coming up with disc error, whatever that means. I will try again later, because I know you want to see this yarn - it's just great.

Did I mention that the price was CHEAP?

If you live in or near Montreal or are going there for a vacation (which I recommend) don't miss this store.

Did I mention that the Jazz Festival was going on and I spent DAYS listening to FREE JAZZ?

Sorry for all the capital letters, but I am very enthusiastic about this trip.

Now I must run and wash a weeks worth of clothing and put away all my yarn and other goodies. Be back soon....

How About the Babies?

Image
All that jewelry is all well and good (and I did sell quite a few pieces at my Etsy jewelry sale!) But what about the babies? It's September 1st and that means checking the gift list for holidays. For parents and baby photographers, it also means holiday photos. For years now I've been selling my baby Christmas hats to photographers and parents. I make these hats for newborns, babies and toddlers. Usually, I don't make things in multiples because I prefer to do one of a kind and custom work. However, these hats make people so happy that it makes me happy to knit them! They can be seen at http://www.BurryBabies.etsy.com . Photographers and parents send me photos of these all the time. Here's a little baby gallery. I've included a couple of Hannukah hats too :)

KnittingGuru Brings a Little Sunshine

Image
Spring is really here and the sun keeps shining. My garden could use some more rain, but I'm happiest when the sun's out. That's why I designed my latest scarf knitting kit... I call it Yellow Sunshine Lace Scarf Kit and it really does shine. Even if you think you don't like yellow, take a look at this. It's guaranteed to make folks happy. The kit comes in the new glossy silver shopping bags I've found and personalized with the KnittingGuru sticker. The kit contents are nestled in tissue paper in the bag and make a great gift for a knitter. Or knit the scarf and give it to someone you want to have more sunshine in their life. You can get the kit at KnittingGuru . I have lots of other lace scarf kits, too. Although I still haven't finished the mini-kits yet, I will have them up soon in time for the first beach days after Memorial Day Weekend. On a personal note, I'm working on some little bags to sell and to make into kits. Also, I just made the cutest Co...
