Welcome 2012

Happy New Year! So far 2012 has been very promising with new yarns, patterns and exciting knit inspiration!

To kick it off we received new colors in Spud & Chloe Sweater which are gorgeous:

Chocolate Milk

Lilac

Manatee

They are great heathered yarns which are perfect for adults and children alike. As always, Spud & Chloe is machine washable & dry in a lovely cotton/wool blend.

We also received a bunch of new patterns from Churchmouse like Annabelles Cowl,

which is a gorgeous cowl that can be made using Manos del Uruguays Silk Blend & Kidsilk Haze. The simplistic beauty of this cowl has inspired a few color combinations like

The options of silky Manos multi's with soft cloudy kidsilk haze are almost endless. I look forward to casting on soon and seeing what combination inspires you! Happy 2012!

Dream Toys & BeepBeep

Anne is finishing up her horse from Dream Toys which is a favorite toy book of Patricia's Yarns.

Anne knitted her horse using Manos del Uruguay's silk blend in natural for the main part & coffee for the nose & feet and Kidsilk spray for the mane. She is really enjo9ying it & is currently workiing on the blanket for under the saddle.

The Beep Beep blanket is finished & is super cute.


It is knit out of Blue Sky Alpacas worsted hand dye yarn and is fantastic to work with. The pattern is relatively simple making a relatively quick knit cute for a boy or a girl!

New in '09 update!

We have some new events, yarns, books & colors of Manos silk blend to share today!

Patricia's Yarns will be holding regular knit nights starting on Thursday February 5th at 6 PM. The evenings will be spent stitching, sharing ideas & noshing on nibbles. We request that you sign up in advance as space is limited. There is a $5 fee for the event to cover the cost of nibbles & beverages.

The first of our new spring yarns has arrived - Ty-dy from knit one crochet too! It is a fantastic variegated cotton yarn that has a "tie-dyed" effect when you knit with it!

Our newest book in our knitting library is French Girl Knits.

We are thrilled with the beauty of this book with 18 fantastic patterns. Kristeen Griffin - Grimes is known for seamless construction which is great for new & experienced knitters.

Last but certainly not least, we have new Manos Silk Blend colors in stock!

From left to right, hibiscus, powder, lawn, butter & wisteria are new colors for the spring, perfect to add a little color on a winter day.

Those are our updates for now... more to come as they arrive. Happy Knitting!

08 Resolutions, good ones ;-)

We are so excited for a new year of knits, yarn and inspiration! We have lots planned for 08 including new class workshops, new patterns, and of course beautiful yarns!

The newest to the shop, Manos Silk Wool has been knitted up in two beautiful neck warmers. Above, is the Here and There Cables scarf from Scarf Style that our fabulous friend Amy knitted up. We love the deep purple color!

Also, off the knit blogs is the Bainbridge Scarf from Pepperknit. One ball of the silk wool here makes for a perfect neck warmer.

We truly love Manos Silk wool and find it the perfect yarn for scarves as well as hats and wrist warmers. We hope you'll pop in and get a good feel of this yarn.

We have so much more to share so pop back over to PY Knits Soon!
