Magnum

The name alone could be misconstrued if this was not a knitting and crocheting blog.  For those who want a quickie with something chunky yet soft, “Magnum” delivers.  Since most of the colors in Twinkle “Soft Chunky” will not be available until summer, we brought back an old favorite that was a hit when we first opened 7 years ago.  Good thing Cascade kept it around in most of its fabulous colors.  With 123 yards and #17 or #19 needles (or larger), scarf gratification is a mere 2 hours away.

Pie Cowl

Cowls are still a hit.  And it seems like a new and more creative version comes out weekly.  Here’s another inventive pattern, designed by Ginny, that’s fun to wear and knit.  If you’re new to short row shaping, this pattern will give you lots of practice.  Get your free pattern with purchase of yarn.

Birthday Cake

Eco Wool by Cascade has become one of our best selling yarns.  When it was first introduced here a few years ago, the yarn was a well known secret amongst the regulars.  With 478 yards of 100% undyed wool it looks (and feels) like a heavy door stop.  And the best part is that for those being cost conscious, it won’t break the bank at under $18.  Karen bought a skein and thought it would make a great birthday cake for herself so her friend Mandy stuck some candles into it and off they went to celebrate.
