Spring Arrives!

It's been a while since the last post, and spring arrived early toward the end of March! And we had a couple of finished objects...

Jacki looks great in the cowl she knit from laceweight mohair!




And our Amy finally finished her incredible knitted quilt block blanket!

Winter Arrives - At the end of February!

We finally had some serious snow last evening:




Now to the projects!

Barb finished a cute baby set:










Gretchen made the cute brown hat and the shawl that Lynn is modeling:












Lynn models her shawl that she knit:






And she models the sweater that Christina crocheted for her:






Finally, Chryss models her shawl:

Finally! The Back End of January!

January is like the marathon month in winter. Luckily, there's knitted and crocheted items to distract us!

Gretchen had some adorable wee baby mitts:




Our Lynn (Buttner) had a wonderfully cheerful and warm blanket:




And the trio, Barb, Lynn, and Carol had hats they knit in a class:

Kicking It Off In 2012!

Claire brought in her most recent, and vibrantly beautiful, shawl:






Ann had her gorgeous knit mittens:




And Jeanne had a lovely scarf out of her modular knitting:

Ring Out The Old, Bring In The New

We closed out 2011 with some lovely children's items from Carol:








And our Lynn brought in 2012 with cozy slippers and a blanket:

Knit and Knot, Bettendorf IA - Open For Business!

I almost drove off the road when I saw the wee "Open" sign in the window!




This is a "soft" open as Joy and her husband Jotham are getting supplies in and shelving built. Joy is expecting their first child in March!






And while some things are on back order, Joy still has many lovely things in the shop and the layout is very nice:












I may have accidentally-on-purpose bought a few items:






















In addition to being a crocheter, Joy also does lace tatting:







Joy said that she and Jotham plan to grow old with the shop, they're not looking to go anywhere else in the community. Great news for our area!
