Yarn is like candy to me. Actually, it’s really like chocolate. I can’t live without it…Really, truly. Sometimes just the thought of a chocolate, or worse, a yarn diet is just too much for me. A perfect example is when I look at the beautiful yarn made by Alchemy Yarns. I feel woozy and almost get a head rush like when I bite into an amazing piece of say, Teuscher chocolate (thanks to my friend Ani for introducing me to that devil’s treat).

The yarn was wound Saturday as the store was closing. When I came in for work on Wednesday the completed baby sweater was waiting at the front desk.

You see, Liz was having issues with project monogomy and needed something fast and thrilling to hold her attention. The cure was Elizabeth Zimmerman’s February Sweater from The Knitter’s Almanac in Koigu Kersti, done in three days.

Of course we adore Elizabeth Zimmerman’s patterns, that’s why we are offering a class on making this very special baby sweater. Look for future classes that revolve around her wonderful designs.
