Where in the world is Ed?

I miss him.

New Tools

Carly needed her needles back to start the left front before she'd finished the right front, so she improvised a stitch holder.

ben is handsome and his sweater is all linen.

yes, you can make a linen sweater! it's harder on the hands than wool but not that bad. in fact it might just be the kind of hard that makes you get stronger rather than the kind that destroys you.

without rosie's yarn cellar's expertise ben would still be wearing his disgusting workout shirt that looked like a used swiffer, just because i thought the seams on it made him look sexy. now, he has a beautiful linen sweater that looks better every time we wash it. he loves the feel of this sweater and so do i. he said that the first time he wore it to the office, people were genuflecting, but i think he was kidding. we call it his "lion in winter" sweater or sometimes "brother cadfael" or "friar tuck".

the hat and moebius yarn came from rosie's too but it was years ago so i don't know what they are. i don't know what the linen is either. maybe euroflax.

linen sweaters are completely worth the effort.

Koigu Acquistion Days and More!

Here are some pics or Pam and Claire's projects we snagged on a recent "Koigu Acquisition Day" (hereon referred to as "KAD").

They come in every now and then to get their fix and we are always happy to oblige.

Pam's got a lovely Koigu Rambling Rows baby blanket going on and Claire's Noni Bag is to die for!! Okay, so it's not Koigu but WOW! An excellent knitter, felter, and seamstress!

Simply amazing, ladies.

Flipping through our photos from the past couple of weeks I came across these amazing Alpacita gauntlets! Whose hands are these? Wendy? In any case I love the way the colors are spiraling around the arm, absolutely gorgeous and incredibly warm!

Lisa J, did you make these?

The pattern is interpreted from "Fetching" in the Summer 06 issue of Knitty.

And here is Mary doing an amazing amount of hairpin lace!

Rosie's Knitting Circle

Hello!
Welcome to the Rosie's Yarn Cellar knitting circle. Here you can view staff and customer projects, and upload images and updates on your own projects! (but please, only projects purchased at Rosies!)
I thought this would be a fun way for us all to get inspiration and feedback from other knitters, and when you can't come to knitting circle in person at least you can check in on everyone.
FYI, Rosie's knitting circle is live every wednesday night from 6-8 pm at 2017 Locust Street in Philadelphia, PA. Everyone is welcome!
