No matter what you need, the barmaids have you covered from head to toe. Face pudding to keep you smiling, Lolo lips keep them kissable, probiotic deodorant for keeping you fresh as a rose, oh for feet’s sake to keep your feet soft and sandal ready, and the Lolo body bar for everything in between.

Dreaming of Fall sweater weather? Infinite Twist has you covered with Dyer's Choice Sweater Quantities. Each yarn pack includes 1800 yards of hand-dyed 6-ply Merino in a one-of-a-kind color for $98, and shipping is free! Colors are not repeatable, and when they're gone, they're gone.

Knitcircus dyers love coming up with new ways to dye yarn; we figure if one gradient is fun, three in one cake is even better! Use this continuous gradient for a Be Simple shawl like the one shown, or let your inspiration guide you to the project of your dreams. Just knit along and watch the stripes appear. Check out all of the Repeating Gradient choices on the Knitcircus website. All Knitcircus yarns use luxury USA Merino bases and are hand-dyed with love in Wisconsin.

Instead of wrestling with paper, use the knitCompanion app. It keeps you on track so you can knit more and frog less. knitCompanion works withALL your patterns and is available for apple, android and kindle fire devices.

Class started pants. Teacher did a power point presentation, to print out. All the points necessary

to draft pants. Started at school, finished at home, asked one question and finished drafting the pattern.

Metal washers for pattern weights. Gigi likes her Gingher shears. We like to have knives and scissors

sharpened at Williams Cutlery. Crimping sleeve cap with nylon lining didn’t work.

Wash fabric before working with it.
