I took this picture awhile back of a customers “POP” blanket, by Tin Can Knits and thought I
would show it off to you all in this newsletter, just in case you have not run across this pattern
yet. I know it is summer, but this is worked in smaller squares, so not too warm sitting on your
lap for a little while until it grows larger. Why not start it now for a gift, or how about the Tiny
Owl Knits Beekeeper’s quilt blanket on the right, which you can knit up in your leftover sock
yarns! Patterns available on Ravelry, or you can purchase with your yarns at the store!
We met Debbie Bliss at the Northwest Needle Market!
She was in Seattle to throw the 1st pitch at the Seattle Mariners game! Look for the pictures she said she will post on
DebbieBlissFacebook of myself and daughters Lisa and Monique in some of her sample sweaters from her new pattern books coming. So cool to meet her and her designer daughter Nell - look out for Nell's first book of designs very
soon!
We also met up with Cat Bordhi who was also at the Market teaching classes, and she promises us a workshop in 2015
for her new upcoming book, name is a secret. Check out her latest published pattern book ARTOFFELFS available on
her website, all proceeds being donated to a non chemotherapy cure for cancer, trials pending. She has been collaborating with the lovely folk of Frog Tree Yarns designing some very cool new yarn lines Pediboo, Ewetopia and Llambrosia with their delicious fibers from Peru.
