More Staff Projects

Here are a couple more projects on the needles of the TY staff. Johanna is nearing the finish of the Salvador sweater featured in Berroco's Origami book #305 and she is using Berroco's Origami yarn to knit the sweater. It is an acrylic/linen/nylon/cotton blend that is multicolored and wrapped in a cord-like manner. This should be a nice sweater for a Houston summer wardrobe.









The finished sweater will look like this!


















Alisa is working on the Vesper sweater by Heidi Kirrmaier. It is a light weight short sleeve top that can be downloaded from the Ravelry website. The yarn she chose is Hempathy by Elsebeth Lavold, a hemp/cotton/nylon blend that can be machine-washed and has a nice drape.

Some of our current projects

Frequently customers ask us what we are knitting or crocheting. Here are a few projects some of the TY staff have in progress!


Eve and Debbie were inspired by our recent crocheted afghan project and worked together to make another one for a mutual friend. They used Shibui sock yarn to crochet basic granny squares and single crocheted them together. It is now finished and ready to gift.



Cindy is working on a Fair Isle project using Jamieson's Spindrift yarn. The colors are lovely together!


Ann is knitting sweater Six from the Noro Flowers 2 book by Jenny Watson. She is using Noro's new Taiyo sock yarn which is 50% cotton blended with wool, nylon and silk. It should make a nice lightweight top great for wearing during our hot, humid Houston summers!


We'll have some more project pictures soon. Come by and show us what summer projects you are working on!
