crochet cardi

A woman came in last month looking for a pattern to make a sweater for her granddaughter’s First Communion.

We considered many books, magazines, and patterns – and then came upon Precious in Rowan’s booklet, The Organic Cotton Kids Collection.

And let’s just say… the result is indeed precious.

Rather than using Rowan’s Purelife Organic Cotton as the pattern suggested, the customer selected Babyboo by Knit One Crochet Too.  The bamboo yarn is soft, with a bit of sheen – just perfect for this sweater.

I’m so glad I got to see it and snap this photo before it was given to the lucky little 8 year old.

The shop occasionally hosts special events, book signings, trunk shows, and sales. Private events can also be arranged at the shop by request.

Perhaps you'd like to have a birthday party centered around a knitting lesson. Or a baby shower during which everyone learns to knit a square for a baby blanket. Or a corporate networking event that features knitting instruction. Or a book club that encourages participants to knit while discussing the book. Nina: a well-knit shop is available for these and other special events.
