The Noro Aurora cardigan
OK - how fun is this yarn - just enougn sparkle - just enough color - what more could a girl want?

Madly working on getting out the newsletter. Jessie has done an amazing job of putting together our first one! Hopefully it will go out this week - maybe Sat :) So many addresses to enter, so much news to report...... Patti is writing patterns for Mountain Colors..........more classes coming..........new yarns arriving - Noro, Classic Elite, Rowan, Tahki, Muench (more colors in Touch Me), more colors in Lonesome Stone.........I could go on..........
If I don't have your address - email me at tamijy@serendipityyarn.com
Also add your birthdate if you want to join the birthday club

BTW did you notice the knitting on Grey's Anatomy? Therapy, dexterity, just so cool. Of course - a sweater in just one day? come on - even Patti can't do that

Woohoo! I have been finishing projects that have been hanging around for quite a long time! Last night I completed the Mountain Colors vest that I started about 2 years ago.......... First I didn't mix the 2 skeins I needed so when the first ran out they didn't really match up so - ripping out happened, then I got halfway up one side & realized I hadn't decreased after the ribbing - more ripping out (this was my disasters in knitting phase). Then I started planning the store & couldn't get a Mountain Colors account. No more motivation was left. 'Then' I got an account late last fall & have been carrying this project around in my bag since. Wedding, Christmas, surgery and taxes later I have finally finished it. I do feel a sense of accomplishment. Now onto bigger & better projects. Finshing a Noro Hannah Moss Stitch Cardigan in the Aurora that just came in to the store last week and maybe another Noro project - Susan - the wrapover in the same Noro book. It is definitely snowing here today so I can justify more projects in wool.

Wow! It's been an amazing year! We had our one year anniversary party last Sat - April Fools Day, of course! It was quite a celebration - with champagne, snacks, sales, & lots of friends dropping by. I have the best customers in the world! We are looking forward to more fun, projects, classes, gifts, and great community in the years to come.
