If you watch old movies on TCM you will recognize these hats from 1936.

Is it spring yet?
I need several more days before I can finish a Rowan kid silk triangular scarf. This is a perfect time to be knitting but I don't dare - I just have to be patient.
Is it spring yet?

Weavers
I joined the NH Weaver's Guild a couple of years ago; I have missed every meeting since I joined. We now have a new name for our newsletter: NH Threads.

Fast and Easy
When Adrienne Vittadini Maria yarn, merino with Lycra, was discontinued and available at a reduced wholesale price, I bought several bags. Approximately 40 50gm balls remain in my inventory.
I used only one 50 gram ball for the wrist warmers shown in brown. They are wonderfully light weight and stretch to fit your hand comfortably.
Available colors:
Forest Green
Midnight Blue
Brown
To order yarn, email me at yarnwinder@hotmail.com

Foolish Virgin Rowan Knitting Kit
Yesterday on my Facebook page I saw a post from America's Knitting with a link to Ravelry which I followed. Pictured was Kaffe's Leaf Coat - it brought back memories . . .
As an x-Rowan Stockist, I assembled yarns for many of Kaffe's projects. Over the years I stock-piled discontinued Rowan yarns used in Glorious Knits, Family Album, Kaffe's Classics, and Rowan Knitting Magazines, always with the thought that someday I would have the time, the yarn, and the inspiration to be creative.
After seeing Kaffe, during a book signing, and wearing his Foolish Virgin sweater, I had to buy the kit. And guess what, I still have the kit in its original box - pristine, can only describe it. After all these years I'm ready to give it up. Original suggested retail price was $243. Now available for $125.
