Thursday we had our first sit n stitch here at the studio.  We had so much fun and there wasn't that many of us.  We had a little show and tell and knitted away the time.

 Here is Karen Taylor wearing a knitted creation.  Karen modified and rearranged the stitches to flatter and fit.

 Here is Lauren Miller modeling the "Summer Vines" knitted out of Lucci Yarns "Pima Cotton" Doesn't she nautical?

This is a wonderful wrap it the luxurious silk from ArtYarn knit by Pam Morrison

 

closings and beginings

Hello one and all!!

I really has been a while, lots has changed from way back when.  To recap the actual store front is now closed.  After the flood (Irene)  we struggled to get back on our feet, we lost so much inventory it was impossible to replace all at once, we did give it a good try at least I think we did but...we decided to close the doors and take it home...... So now I have been thinking of an on line shop.  I will give it a shot.  Why not I have loads of yarn some new some old, so keep an eye out for my new website, "Josey's Yarn Studio" or keep it "Nonna's Yarn Studio"  I like Studio to be in it.  You can see from my picture I do have plenty of room, also there are many more pictures on our Facebook page. I'm on Facebook often. 
 

This is the story so far, I'm working on cataloging  and organizing all the yarns  and don't think that I'm not knitting as well. I have 3 project going on two of them more then half way through!!
So what do  you think?   (by the way please don't criticize my writing,  I'm trying!!)
alright "y" then I will try to be punctual and jot down some words at least once a week hoping to amuse and intrigue you all.

for more pix and news check out Nonna's page on Facebook lots more there!!

Thanks and Good Nite

My apologies

You have to forgive the absence -- I have been more on Facebook. But I have to post these great pix from VK Live we had such a great time. We arrived at the hotel around 11:00 am Sunday and went straight to the market place and we were greeted by a very lovely lady who admired my floating stitch mohair scarf, then once inside the excitement was buzzing everywhere. First thing we did was deliver the hats and we met Debbie McComber there. What a lovely person she is, so sweet and was very very excited to see all the baby hats we had (abt 50)

Also I have to mention the next floor up what an entrance! Loved the maniquines who ever thought of that must be super creative!!

Fashion Institute of Technology NYC

The Craft yarn council sponsored a course at FIT for Cert. Knitting Instructor and guess what I decided to attend it was 3 days long, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was so excelerating I met such nice ladies all with the love of knitting and crocheting. The best of all was the professor Ms Arnetta is such a great personality. Her joy of teaching and her immense experience was just bursting out loved it.

I hope one day to have Arnetta come to the shop and meet all our friends!!
