It's that time of year again!  Festivals and yarn and fiber shows are beginning.  We are so excited to have a booth at the Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Festival next week!  The festival runs from March 15th through the 17th. 

 

Shalimar has been at this wonderful venue for several years now and we are so looking forward to this years show.  Paul will be headed there with a wonderful selection of our yarns, like Breathless, Zoe Sock, Homage and Breathless DK.

Knit Along

Over the past month we have been having a fun time over in the Knitspot group on Ravelry.  Anne, Erica, Kat, Kim, Kristi and myself have coordinated efforts for a joint knit along using Anne's slofock pattern and our new Breathless DK.  There are some great finished slofock pictures in the group.  Here are a few of our favorites:
GardenJess knitted this one for her Dad in Dirty Jeans

JulieHart made a pattern adaptation and shortened her Loden slofock for her very active son

And bratsche51 made an entire set in Crayfish

 

If you have a chance, stop by the slofock KAL and take a peek at all the projects.  Of course we would love to have you join in the KAL too!  There are a few knitters who are on their second and third slofocks for the KAL.  It's such a great pattern and really pairs perfectly with our new Breathless DK.

A Little Indulgence

Don't you think it's time you did something nice just for you?

 

Sign up's end January 25th, don't miss out!

Indulge Yourself in 2013!

When Kristi and I started talking about a club to showcase our favorite Shalimar yarns, we both knew right away that we wanted to bring some of our favorite designers along with us. The first step was choosing which yarns to include in the club and then how many shipments we thought knitters would enjoy having. Between phone calls, emails and texts we chose four of our luxurious yarns and paired them up with fantastic designers: Michelle Miller aka FickleKnitter, SpillyJane, Tabetha Hedrick aka tabismiles, and Beth Kling aka Owlish. 

We both kept thinking that knitters are such generous people.  We are constantly knitting for friends, family, coworkers and charity.  What way would be the best way to help a knitter feel a little spoiled than to be able to knit with beautiful yarns and patterns?  Kristi came up with the Indulge Me! name and I think it's perfect!  What better way is there for a knitter to indulge themselves, than with some luxury yarns? Not only will the projects be a joy to knit, but the knitter can then (if she or he is inclined) gift the finished project to a deserving friend.

We hope you can join us for four fantastic shipments of luxury yarn and incredible patterns! Sign ups close on January 25, so be sure you don't miss out. Oh and did I mention that one shipment will include two skeins of yarn?
