How I started today


Joan and I have been meeting at The Roastery for months on Friday mornings before going to work. Come join us and bring your sticks. Thanks Chris for a delightful coffee to start my day. Lots of new items and goings on at Serendipity. See you all soon I do hope.

Gifts for the wee ones

My "candy corn" alpaca goodness!!
I used to say "Why would I ever spin when I can just buy the yarn". I have changed my tune as of two days ago. We have moved items all around the store and with the assistance of Janet we put together two spinning wheels. Janet tried this Ashford Traveler out and gave me a quick lesson. Let me tell you I am laying awake at night thinking about my new love. It is so much fun I go to work early and stay late to get to spin a bit. Come by and try one of these wheels. Be watching for the time and date-- we are going to start spinning at the store one night a month.
Bobbie, Joan and Maggie have been knitting up hats for the babies. This is our charity knitting group that meets Wed. mornings. We would like for you to join in their mission of love for the Ronald McDonald House in Colorado Springs.
Maybe we will see you there next week, the coffee will be on.

Three Week Exactly

These are not the best pictures but I just wanted people to see the sweater I knit for Ryan. I am very pleased the with end result and I am very happy with the fit, stitch definition, color, on and on. It is probably the best project I have ever knit. It will go in the mail to Alaska as soon as it dries completely. Now on to the next project.

Lucy's Knitting

Lucy-one of our many customers- at Serendipity has been knitting up a storm. She did lots of Christmas knitting and this wrap was giving as gift to her sister in law who is looking beautiful in this photo. Where she lives is not here, look at all that green in the background. It is a precious gift to get a hand knitted item and I know she thinks of Lucy every time she wears her wrap. Keep on knitting, maybe I should cast on a gift this month so I am not knitting like a house a fire next November :)

Debra's STAFF PICK


Madeline Tosh Worsted--Being a singer and knitter, my favorite song is the one I'm singing at the the time and my favorite yarn is generally the one running through my fingers. Madeline Tosh is a beautiful, soft yarn and this small fast scarf project is the perfect break from large and sometimes daunting knitting. It's fun and affordable knitting and makes a fabulous gift.
