you feel good ... i feel good ... they live good ...

What am i talking about? Lantern Moon: a Fair Trade Women's Collective in Vietnam. They make wonderful and beautiful accessories for Knitting, and would be a FAB gift! And we are helping women achieve a lifetime career.

To quote Oprah "It's a good thing." Oh wait. That's Martha.

This Knit Out Box is brilliant - wool stays clean and tidy on your floor or table and looks beautiful at the same time!















AND this beautiful Silk case for your straights, dpn's and circ's. Plus a pocket for notions. I challenge you to find a more breathtaking case.
















And if you are just after a little something for a stocking stuffer (remember Christmas is only 2 months away!), how about this little cutie?

Beauty ... and the beast

Okay - this is another BEEUUUTIFULLL scarf for Christmas (which is 2 months away today, right?)









This is me making it.










This is, again, why Purl cannot come to the shop and the mess that she can make. That WAS some beauty Mohair.



BAD DOG!

New Stuff

LOTS OF NEW STUFF!

For the months of November and December we are open Thursday evenings until 7:30.
This begins on November 4th. AND on November 18th, we are open until 10 p.m. to kick off the holiday shopping in Uxbridge. Hopefully this will help you out with your Christmas shopping.
(There's only 9 weeks left until Christmas, but no pressure!)

AND we now have a Christmas Wish List - Come in and fill it out. Leave it with us, take home the perforated tag from the bottom, present the tag to your loved ones, and Shazamm! They know where to come, what to buy to make you happy for Christmas.

ahhhh... Frill Seeker

it's coming - we've been promised.

Our FIFTH shipment is on it's way. It's flying here and has to go through customs.

So It's coming.

But no guarantees for delivery.

Check with us November 1st if we haven't notified you.

It's coming, we promise.

... 'cause everyone needs a chuckle ...

Stephanie (The Yarn Harlot) Says:

"You know you knit too much when ... you know how to hold your novel open with a can of pop and your cell phone so that you can read while you knit!"

"The best thing about babies is that they can't refuse to wear the sweater you knit for them."

"The first knitting guild was founded in Paris in 1527. Only men were admitted, and it took six years of training for them to become master knitters." (obviously never took a course at On The Lamb!

"You know you knit too much when your kids know the phone number of the yarn shop by heart and dial it when they woner where you are."

"You know you knit too much when you let people think you take public transportation because you care about the environment, but really it's because you can't knit and drive."

AND MY FAVOURITE!

"YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH THIS INFORMATION, BUT THERE ARE ABOUT NINE WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU KNIT OR WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE, BUT I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT IT. NO PRESSURE."

Ahhhhhh.......

The seasons are changing, but not too fast or too early.

This is what i see when i arrive every morning.




Take a moment to enjoy the beauty around you.

Ohm.

TURKEY DAY!

I hope you all have a wonderful turkey day with your families!

I'm going to as well - so to that end, i will be closing at 3 p.m. on Saturday and remain closed until Tuesday.

I've got to - my guest list just went from 5 to 15!

SOMEBODY's got to clean the toilets!

Peace.

.... a treat for you ...

i have had several customers ask me about a pattern for a chunky knitted jacket pattern like the Canadian Jacket worn at the closing of the Olympics in Vancouver. Thus far, i haven't had any luck other than recommending graphing out your own design. Too much work, right?

Well, i have just discovered that our very own Briggs and Little in New Brunswick, the oldest Canadian woolen mill, supplied the yarn! AND have made the pattern available FREE!!!!!

AND this baby's going to knit up fast - 8mm needles and Rovings as wool!!!!!!
