Preparing For The Holiday

Yarn has begun arriving for Holiday Projects. Several boxes came in to supply materials for projects.


There was a limited special Christmas yarn in acrylic and cotton from Bernat. The cotton is Bernat Handicrafter Holidays Sparkle in red and white with a silver thread wrapping it. The acrylic is Bernat Happy Holidays in red and green with a silver thread wrapping it. Then of course you have their everyday yarn in red, green, and white. You can view their fine yarns at:





Then we also received the Red Heart Eco-Cotton Blend which is a recycled cotton yarn and Moda Dea Tweedle Dee which is a shaded effect yarn. Both should make some fine gits for the hard to please. For more information check out their sites.





Tweedle Dee has a nice stole pattern on the label which takes only three balls and a pair of #13 needles. At 45 stitches it should work up fast and be a warm addition to your holiday wardrobe.

Have you been to your favorite place and wander it to see what is taking place?
