Hurro!

We're going to be sending off a new Cascade order tomorrow, 12 April. If you would like a certain colour, or certain amount for a specific project, fill out the form here (don't worry about the deposit) and we'll be in touch as soon as it arrives.

If you need some reminding of how amazing the selection is, you can find the 220 wool selection here and the superwash selection here. With a Manu in mind, i'm going to add some sport superwash to play with too :D

How cute is this? Ukelele, sweet girl and a song about knitting? Heaven.

We've teamed up with Debbie, of Gracie Lou, for a very exciting evening of tempting deliciousness!

Debbie has been bringing us wonderful skin care and cosmetics at below retail prices for a while now. But as we all know, it's great to meet the people behind the scenes and play with products to see what they are really like. I've only been buying things for my make up bag from Gracie Lou - so much faster and painless than dealing with the mall.

So would you like to meet Debbie? And have an excuse to hang out in the shop? And buy some gorgeous products? You do? Hooray!

The plan, stan:

Tuesday, 12 April

6pm - 9pm

right here, at Holland Road Yarn Company

281 Jackson Street

Petone (opposite the water fountain)

what will she have? Anything from Bare Escentuals, MAC, smashbox, OPI, Trilogy, Living Earth, Stila, Lancome, Revlon, Clinique, Karen Murrell (my new fave), and loads more!

You can even RSVP to the event over on facebook. It's not just for yarny types either - so bring along your friends! We might even put a few edible sweet treats out for you too...

It's really been like Christmas in the shop this week - so many wonderful things arriving every day!

Extra Curricular Magazine, Sweet William prints and cards, Granny G teatowels, Nut and Bee notepads, Emma Makes notebooks...

Skeinz Prism organic 8 ply in jelly bean colours, Emma Makes cats and frogs...

New Cascade colours and super special limited edition Knitsch Worsted...

Plus Ysolda Teague single patterns, more Spinning a Yarn Silk Merino lace, Red Riding Hood organic 8ply...the list keeps growing!

but... there are way too many amazing cardigan and sweater patterns out there now.

While i'm still knitting the sample Melia for when Ysolda's new book arrives, and I do love it - I can't help but wistfully think of all the yet unknitted projects in my wardrobe of the future.

Such as, a Vine Yoke cardigan (from Ysolda, of course)

And a Folded, that Susan put me onto over the weekend

Or what about a Manu?

Which will need to wait until I get in the Cascade Superwash Sport, but still. Isn't it gorgeous?

The there is the Hooray Cardigan, Claire Bennet and all the other sock, scarf and hat patterns I want to knit. How does a knitter do it all? There is only a certain amount of knitting time in a day...

How about a challenge? I'm going to commit to knitting each of these patterns pictured by the end of winter. For me. They might hang out in the shop, but the main aim will be to end up in my wardrobe. I'll keep you updated - and hound me if I don't!
