We'll try adding more to the queue up until Dec 10th...so keep checking back!
26) Banana Silk Cowl - $12
 Right side out (a distinct migrating rib pattern as shown left) or inside out (a subtler migration, shown below)....it looks interesting both ways! And in this really soft and luminous banana fiber yarn, it is great for next to the skin! Pattern included with yarn.
 reading left to right and top row first: maize, rust, brown variegated, blue, violet variegated, pink
27) Riviera Cable Skull Cap - $25
 Honestly....this took me 30 minutes to knit and that includes winding it into a ball first! The yarn arrived late yesterday afternoon (my day off, but I saw it there in the workshop and couldn't resist) so I grabbed a skein, took Chloe for a walk on the nature path, threw some kibbles in her bowl when we got back and sat down to wind it into a ball just as the evening news was starting at 7:00. I was weaving in my ends as some hollywood gossip show started at 7:30. It fits me (22.5" head) perfectly and I had about 3 yards of yarn left, so one could knit an extra row in there if you needed more length (this comes down and covers my ear lobes...the way I like hats to fit). The yarn knits at 1.5 sts/inch on a US 17. It is about 70% wool (very soft) and 30% polyamid....so it is bulky, but not really dense. Take a look at the skeins blown up....this yarn is an I-cord that is slightly fulled? Very interesting....quick and fun to work with. Pattern included with yarn.
28) Triana Ruffled Scarf - $12
100% acrylic, quick to knit, edgy, fun!
Four new colors arrived 12/9 so we're well stocked on the above colors....all of the previous colors are sold out!!
29) Camel Cable Waves - $25
 This softly udulating cable creates a nice texture on this handspun Mongolian camel hat. You can't get much warmer! I think I knit this on an 8 or 9...anyway, I'll include the pattern with the yarn purchase. Only this natural color available.
30) Fish! - $10
 Every fish is a little different but they're all fun to knit and frivilous to have around. Originally, I had planned on making a mobile for a grand nephew, but they were WAY too big for that....tho' maybe in the Kureyon sock yarn I should rethink that project! Anyway, these whimsical little critters are a good way to learn different shaping and stranding techniques and if you have either a little kid in the family that likes stuffed animals or a scuba diver....maybe this would be a fun project to knit for the holidays!

32) Shibori Needle Accessory - $18
  This quick little felted purse is perfect for holding knitting accessories or makeup.

Kit includes yarn, instructions, and a button for closure.
