Sideways jacket updates



This is Becky who walked in one day and loved our KAL project, decided she had to do it and voila she is finished!
In a weekend, imagine that!! And that is not all, as she was finishing, Becky decided she needed another project, a bolero for her daughter who is petite like Nickie (modeling here). The jacket was knitted with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky and the bolero is a Sublime pattern with Baby Cashmere Merino Silk DK.
Now Becky is so thrilled with knitting garments that actually fit that she picked up three more to make and guess what she will be knitting another sideway jacket also in DB chunky in a beautiful gold color. (that one will be for herself)
We here at Nonna's love to see these great accomplishments from "our" ladies. It makes us very proud to know that we were able to assist in making it happen.
The other ladies that are also done with the KAL are Karen, Phylis, Lauren, Barbara, Marion, Helen and I'm not sure if I have forgoten anyone else, but as you ladies come in I'll take more pix!!!

ArtYarns here we go




Today we visited Iris from Artyarns.
We were amazed and just awestruck at all that luxurious beautiful yarn.
We reordered the Be Sweet kit. It literally flew off the shelf even when we were remodeling.
Iris has the most gorgeous silk and cashmere's around.


Needless to say we did some shopping!

So much yarn so little time

Alrighty-then we have moved quite quickly let me tell you. First of all our thanks go out to all of you who came and lighten our load boy did you ever! That was great thanks again.
If any of you stopped by Saturday you would have seen the store empting out, we had all the kids grabbing yarn bags and going around the corner litteraly. then we decided to load up the car and drive around the corner. WOW!

The new place is beginng to look more and more like Nonna's! I will post some pix soon. our computer system is not working yet , our sign is not up yet but it will all be up and working soon.

Thanks again to all!!

Just a Quick Update

Hi Everyone,

It seems that things are really moving along faster then I anticipated, my husband is very efficient.
Soooo the Bloomfield location is emptying out rather quickly. Not only by us relocating but by the great bargains that has been had by all.

This will be our last week, therefore come in and grab the last of the available beautiful wools/cottons, there is still enough to make something special (begin now for the holidays).
A quick reminder don't forget Thurs., Fri., & Sat. Denville's sidewalk sale is happening. (Hopefully no rain)
One of us will be out there on 45 Broadway with a table and baskets of yarn. There will be nothing higher then $4.00 a skein. ( please no credit cards, cash is definitely much easier to handle)
Should it rain (which they are predicting)
The Bloomfield Ave. shop will be open.
Prices on all our samples have been slashed to even lower than wholesale cost of the yarn.

We open our doors at 11:00 am and close at 5:30 everyday except Saturday which is 4:00 so come shop early and shop fast!!

P.S. there will be no knitting help available these days.
Happy shopping!!

just an update

The contractor (My husband) is working pretty quick. A fresh coat of paint went on today and tomorrow a new floor will be installed.

Also mark your calenders, the end of July the 30th, & 31st as well as August 1 (Thurs., Fri., & Sat.) Denville is having it's huge sidewalk sale. We are so looking forward to that.

The new shop most probably will not be open by that time, but we will be in front of it with tables and baskets full of yarn. Prices will be slashed to as low as 75% off. Mind you what ever there is there is! and please no credit cards cash is definitely much easier to handle.

The Bloomfield Ave. shop will be open at the same time.

Don't know if I mentioned but we also have samples on sale which have been heavily discounted. Labels tell the story!!

Happy shopping!!

THE MOVE

The Move! Wow it's really happening soon.
The sale is in high gear. A whole lot of yarn is flying off the shelves. It's unbelievable. We definitely think we will have little to carry over. :)
There will be an ad on the local paper letting everyone else know of our move so we expect a lot more shoppers. Therefore for those of you who are waiting for the last minute, sorry you will be left out of the bargains.
Don't Wait !

OUR FIRST KAL

Here we are Knitting A Long together the jacket that Nancy is wearing. Nancy has knitted 4 jackets since April. Here we have a blend of novice and seasoned knitters enjoying the fun.



Here's Helen with another of her masterpiece. This is a combo of Cotton Twist and Nova they both have a little sparkle and make a great top. I don't know when Helen has the time to knit such wonderful stuff!!!:)

And my sister here is modeling what Barbara knitted for her daughter-in-Law. Barbara used Plymouth's Baby Alpaca Grande. It is such a beautiful confi Poncho with sleeves. Barbara I'm sure that your new expectant mommy will love it this winter.
