MORMORIO Shawl by Heather Zoppetti.....Janet chose to do this shawl using Crabapple Pizzazz "St Michaels Sunset" yarn.  The pattern takes 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn.  Choose your own color combinations and make it your own.

GODDESS KNITS MYSTERY SHAWL KAL

While innocently perusing Ravelry, I happened upon a KAL being offered by a designer I had not seen before.  I should have stopped there, but oh no, I looked at her designs and was drawn in. 

What we know so far is the design is for a lace, half-hexagon-shaped shawl that will likely be beaded (who can argue with that) and was designed to be done in about 875 yards of silk yarn on a size 4 or 5 needle.  Odd how things happen, we just found a new lace weight silk yarn, Traum Seide, 100% mulberry silk that is exactly the amount needed for this KAL. 

I invite anyone who loves a little challenge and is willing to be adventurous to join me for this KAL.  I'll be meeting at the shop on the following dates to work on the KAL, April 21, 28, May 12, 26 and June 2 from 10:30 to 12:30.  By June 2, you should have a lovely summer shawl completed and ready to wear for all your warm weather events. 

Stop by the shop soon so you can look at the color card and we can order your yarn and get you enrolled in the Goddess Knits Anniversary 2013 KAL.

We want to thank all of you who have continued to make us your Local Yarn Shop . We appreciate all of you who come to our Sit and Stitch Groups, including the crazy Tuesday and Wednesday Girls (you know who you are) , everyone who signs up for our classes and workshops, all the lovely ladies who bring us little treats and snacks, and everyone who stops in just to say hi and visit with us. We don't think of you as customers...you've become our friends and you come from all over the Eastern Shore--Easton, St Michaels, Tilghman Island, Martingham, Cambridge, Centerville, Trappe, Salisbury-- and even Annapolis, DC, and Baltimore . We look forward to the summers when we get to see many of our regular knitters and crocheters who come by boat from as far away as Bermuda !

We're planning great things for 2013...more yarn, more classes, the latest trending patterns and accessories, and always more FUN!! Stop by the store and unravel with us..have a cup of tea or coffee and get inspiration for your next project.

 We wish you a very Happy, Healthy and Adventurous New Year and don't forget to include lots of fiber in your diets.
