Nonna's is featured in a NY Fashion show runway

This was a very proud mama moment when my daughter's garments were displayed and modeled in a NY runway.

These garments are now displayed at the shop for all to see.

Knit-Along!

It's determined the KAL will begin July 15, therefore if you are interested, these next two weeks is the time for you to come in and sign up. We will have loads of fun as ususal. Most of you have decided to use the Fantasy Linen in the same color way which will make it a true knit along!

Here's The Latest

Things have been hectic here at Nonnas. New yarns new projects, finishing old projects. Yep I've been kinda preoccupied.
Let me just bring you up to date with the goings on!


You remember Karen. Karen just finished this shawl knitted with TSC Ritratto the pattern is from the book Modular Knits by Iris Schreier. I love this pattern it sit on your shoulders perfectly and its fun to knit. I have knitted 4 for gifts and now Karen is hooked as well.


I just completed this little jacket. It's waiting for buttons which will be in very soon. I enjoyed learning the different technics with this one the collar is added with a 3needle bind off and it has side pockets and bell cuffs. It's short and it's quite cute on a size 6 - 8.
Perfect wear for September/October


I thought this little sack was the most adorable little thing. Here Barbara used our new DK sock yarn & the patterns is from a sublime book.

The Special Event

The head band class was a little low in attendance but it went well. We had a winner who received a bunch of goodies from the Urban Muse and everyone got a goody bag with a coupon of 20% off their next facial with Kim. How cool!

The ladies learned the provision cast on, a simple cable twist plus I-cord edging a very productive class.

I have had request for a repeat class. I guess the timing was not correct. We shall try it again maybe in August. Let me know when. We will take a poll.

A Knit a long

Okay we all have decided to do a knit a long. It will begin the end of the month. Nancy and all of us are excited to do this. If you like to join us need to come on in and get all the details. Can't post the details just yet, all I can tell you is that the finished project is displayed at the shop.

More Designers are finished

Here's Marion with her first ever knitted sweater !

And this is Lauren with her first sweater

Don't they look marvelous?!!

They deffinately did a great job.

We have had quite a response to the top down sweater classes. We will repeat it once again come the fall.

The Special Event is nearing!!

Sign ups started for Kimberly's facial class!

We are so excited to host this event and it looks like its going to be a big hit.

the project sample (headband) is displayed at the shop everyone tries it on to see and feel it on. I love it I used it every evening when giving myself a mini facial, which you ladies know you should always do. I will also hand out the pattern for the spongies which we knitted in our knitterjize class. They go hand in hand with the headband.

Also I a almost finished with the hand towel, I knitted with Pure cotton from

Debbie Bliss. It will be a perfect addition to my basket of facial accessories.

AND SHE'S DONE WITH ANOTHER

I love seeing student's accomplishments!

This is Phyllis with her 2nd top down sweater finished. Phyllis used Berroco's Bonsay yarn, soft and cool to the touch.

Phyllis you look great!!!!!

In the Kitchen

Do you know how much fun it is to knit dish/wash cloths or towls?
I am enjoying it so much I am knitting up a complete set for each of my 4 children. You can experiment with different stitches and gauges. And how portable of a project is it!
The yarn that is my alltime favorite is of course Debbie Bliss Pure Cotton and now the new Eco cotton 100% organic.
Join me and see how many can we knit up in a month.

By the way the sale was great you all got some great bargains and I made some room for more yarns! Thanks for your great support!!!!!!!
