He has been spending his lunch hour with us lately working on Fair Isle socks and baby booties to match. Take a look at the completed sock on the table. Oh, he actually PREFERS the Kitchner for finishing his toes. Actually, John hasn’t been the ONLY manly-man that has frequented our establishment, another gentleman was a frequent visitor while he was on assignment; he was creating his OWN Fair Isle sweater. Talk about beautiful, even stitches, both men’s work could easily be assumed to have come from a knitting machine.Capital Yarnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06606178068401144729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355742648704694792.post-14421265461639355472008-06-19T12:50:00.000-07:002008-06-19T12:51:55.585-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.capitalyarns.com/blog/uploaded_images/BSweater-2-782756.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Tammy was taught to knit by one of our very own, Malika. Tammy love to knit with any yarn. She likes everything. She is currently working on a sweater from Knit in Style Magazine; August 2007 Issue called Jean Née done in Plymouth Jeannee. See a picture of the sweater <a href="http://www.knitnstyle.com/issues/august07_gallery2.shtml">here</a>. She is a very welcome addition to Capital Yarns. Stop by the shop and say hello to our newest fiberholic.<br /><br />We just found out that the Mountain Colors we ordered is on its way. Weaver's Wool, Bearfoot, Mountain Goat and Wool Crepe will soon be adding the the increasing kaleidoscope of color now on display.Capital Yarnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06606178068401144729noreply@blogger.com
