ahem…

My apologies to anyone who was inconvenienced by my knee-jerk reaction to last week’s weather forecast. I’ll try not to be so skittish next time, I promise.

On to the new stuff — our shipment from Classic Elite has arrived.

In the box are refills of old and new shades of Premiere, our favorite cotton/tencel blend; Classic Silk, just about the nicest silk blend yarn on the market today (read what Grumperina has to say about it); and a new summer cotton called Pebbles. If you remember Sand, this is a thinner version. Gently textured, easy on the hands. We haven’t done any playing with it yet, but it’s on the list.

Both Donna and I are making room in our knitting queue for the cabled beauty on the cover of Summertime Knits. Designed by Kathy Zimmerman (you already guessed that, now didn’t you?), it’s done in Premiere. Perfect for this time of year, when you want sleeves to keep your arms warm, but lightweight enough to stay cool during a walk in the spring sunshine.
