Crochet Baby Set

We have a new crochet baby set that was designed exclusively for Stitches & Scones. They look like little munchkin shoes and are also reminiscent of the Baby Ugg Booties that are so popular right now. The hat and shoe set only require one skein of Universal Yarn's "Impressions." The complete set whips up in no time at all -- so if there is a last-minute baby gift you need to make, this would be perfect!

If you love top-down raglan style sweaters Christina has a new fall pattern out. It is made from Fleece Artist Merino Silk and drapes like a dream!




And Our Winner Is....

Congratulations! Karen M has won the blog give away! She is now the proud owner of a luscious scarf.

Karen M -- please contact Stitches & Scones during business hours to claim your prize!

Lily Chin Visits Stitches & Scones




Those of us who were lucky enough to attend the Lily Chin workshops were inspired by her great techniques. There is a reason her classes are the first to sell out at Stitches and the tradeshows. Lily is constantly brainstorming when she is with you, and she tries to pass on any
thing she can to help. She is one of the most interesting women I have met, and we thoroughly enjoyed her visit to Westfield.

Blog Give Away


Okay... we are going to do a "Blog Give Away". Anyone who comments on our blog between today and Thursday, November 29 will be entered into a drawing for this lovely Mountain Colors & Hanah Silk Scarf.

Design II

Another Design II class has ended and as usual the students have done fabulously! Robin designed a V-neck, all-over-lace tunic sweater and she finished it beautifully! Robin, you did a great job!

Design III, dealing with color work in top-down sweaters, will be on Saturday mornings in January. Design I will be starting Thursday afternoons 2-4 in January. Design II will be in February, Thursday afternoons from 2-4! If you would like to take a class, give us a call. Christina only takes 4 students per class so they fill up fast!

Prism Lace Yarn


We just received some beautiful Prism lace weight yarn. When I first picked it up I thought it was Alpaca because it was so soft -- but it's 100 % wool! There are 1460 yards in one skein. A picture does not do justice to the beautiful hues of purple and green.

Art Felt

Early in the week Lin surprised us all with this beautiful Art Felt table runner for fall. Lin said it is a quick, easy and fun project. Instantly I thought, "Hmm... quick Christmas gifts and Christmas hostess gifts..."

Make sure to ask Lin about workshops... I think some are in the works!
