. . .so it's time to get those needles out and start knitting, if you haven't already!

Joyce is modeling the beautiful one size fits most Jojoland Halo kimono. It uses Jojoland's beautiful variegated Rhythm yarn against their solid Baritone yarn. Sorry, this is not a free pattern. It's just that it's so beautiful we wanted you to see it!

A reminder - we'd love to see pictures of your knitting. Please email if you have any digital pictures you'd like to see displayed on this blog!

Got sock yarn?

You know we have plenty of sock yarn in the store! If you knit socks, we bet you have some leftover sock yarn, too.

Joyce is wearing "The Kimono of Many Colors", a pattern from Cherry Tree Hill.

Now that the nights are getting cool, it's time to start thinking about knitting (and wearing) sweaters again!

Here's another pic:



This is fun to knit - every kimono is one-of-a-kind!
