Introducing Abstract Fiber
Alto: 100% SuperWash Blue Faced Leicester in a 3-ply DK weight yarn.
Shiny, very soft, just the right amount of twist. You should see how
this yarn takes color! There is something magical about the way the
colors smudge together and create new shades in between. Add the sheen,
and it’s almost too pretty to sell. Perfect for sweaters, scarves, wrist
warmers, just about anything. 4.5 ounces of Alto is nearly 400 yards
and only $20. We think you’ll love Alto as much as we do. Find Alto
online at AbstractFiber.com.
Join us in welcoming Sandi
Rosner, Friday (July 2, 2010 7:00 - 8:00pm) one of the great minds

contest, the selection process of the winning socks, and more! Sandi
will be available to sign books after the talk.
Think
Outside the SOX , the latest from XRX Books,

This ultimate sock book highlights many design processes, innovative
constructions and updates on traditional techniques and just plain
beautiful socks. Extensive charts and diagrams, illustrated
explanations, and detailed photographs all round out this how-to for
everything socks. There’s no better time to be a sock knitter! You can

On the needles (00:36)
Gigi is excited about knitting with beads!
Jasmin has finished knitting her Knitmore Girls
Citron! Jasmin is planning her
next Citron, maybe out of some stashed Ceallach Dyes laceweight merino (colorway "night lace gradiations").
Jasmin is working S-L-O-W-L-Y on her Brandywine
Shawl for the
KAL. Gigi is working on a pair of
Houdini socks from Personal
Footprints for Insoucient Sock Knitters (out of Abstract Fiber Supersock in "Be Mine"). We'll be doing a
7
Small Shawls KAL, starting soon.
Gigi has some success with her Frost
Flowers Stole. Jasmin gets out of
heel flap purgatory on her Supernatural socks. Gigi talks about doing a
beaded
bindoff (we mistakenly thank
Maniago, really, we meant DebbieScally). We talk about WWKIP day at Santana Row.
Jasmin mentions Maido, and Japanese WASHI
paper masking tape.
