This is not a pleasant situation for <strong>Selter</strong> or <strong>skacel </strong>either, as we all are taking a loss while we work this out. However, Thomas and I strongly believe that everything we sell should not only work, but should be of the highest standards.

Stretching as far as the yarn will allow, this is the most preferred cast on for socks, cuffs, neck lines and any other smaller areas.<br /><br />Come and learn this marvelous cast-on, while enjoying the company of fellow knitters.<br /><br />Cost for these and other workshops to come is only $5.00<br />plus the materials.Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07337248420813916941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166069467140319919.post-19702788066338325492009-10-01T15:58:00.001-04:002009-10-01T15:59:49.678-04:00<span style="font-weight:bold;">Come and Learn a new Cast-on:<br />OCTOBER 17th 4:00pm Cost: $5.00 cash plus materials</span><br /><br />Everyone’s got a favorite cast-on and bind off they use all the time. This time, though, we suggest using tubular (invisible) cast-ons for your socks and other small circular areas . Why? Because they create beautifully finished, polished edges that have all the elasticity of the ribbing itself. There won’t be any puckering at the edges, as can happen with “hard” cast-ons, and they’ll hold their shape at the neckline and cuffs. Also, it’s very easy to substitute a tubular cast-on when working in 1x1 rib. All in all, a highly recommended choice for all types of knitted projects. It is a very elastic cast on and will stretch further than any other cast on, which makes this THE perfect choice for socks, especially if you never want to worry about that cast on edge being too tight ever again!<br /><br />We will be doing the most wonderful project I recently came across: The Candle Flame Neck Cowl by Julia Allen<br />This lovely little neck cozy ( or gator ) is great for beginners as well as those more advanced. It is a project that can be completed in<br />a short amount of time also and used just one 150 yard ball of yarn.<br /><br />And may we suggest a new yarn from Berroco this fall simply perfect for this project? I have done the shop model in Lustra. This yarn is wonderful!<br />LUSTRA<br />50% Peruvian Wool / 50% Tencel<br />3.5 oz. / 100 grams<br />197 yards<br /><br />http://www.berroco.com/shade_cards/lustra_sh.html<br /><br />Yarns and colors for the guys:<br />We are focusing on more yarns in more shades for that special man in your life.<br />All yarn shops have colors appealing to women, and we are no different.<br /><br />As new yarns appear this fall, we are centering on yarns that would be appealing to men ( and boys).<br />There are Eco wools in natural shades from Swedish Yarns, Eco Alpaca, Blackstone tweed from Berroco,<br />washable wools from Cascade and many others. Many projects are under $20.00 to complete.<br /><br />New Mini-project bags:<br /><br />Whether you have liked the needles or not, the cases for the<br />Hiya Hiya Inter-changeable sets have been<br />catching everyone's eye.<br />They have just come out with a mini-project tote bag,<br />perfect for holding a pair or two of socks and the yarns.<br />The mini-project bags come in two colors: red and teal<br /><br />We sold out of these in one weekend!<br />But as I promised I did order more and they arrived yesterday.<br />I have one in use if anyone wants to see and there is also one on the counter to play with.<br /><br />BUTTONS<br />We carry a variety of buttons for your projects and can special order at any time. Don't see ones you like? Please ask for the catalogue to browse through.

That is why we have continued to always have a good budget prices inventory of yarns<br />as well as many sale items. If you are anything like most, you feel strange without that knitting in your hands or the delightful crochet you are always doing to "keep busy".<br /><br />We do carry a good selection of the budget priced yarns. We always have a sale or two going on to help stretch your dollars. We will never make you feel uncomfortable coming into our shop and not buying or require you to buy something that day to come to one of our Sit and Stitch Groups.<br /><br />Most assistance with projects is free and there is a donation jar up on the counter for those who want to toss a few coins in there.<br /><br />We understand the use of debit/credit cards yet we have never added the costs associated with taking these into the cost of our yarns and products. We would hope we never have too. That is why we ask for your understanding about our preference to a check or cash if your purchases come to under $15.00 or even $20.00.<br /><br />This is your local yarn shop and we want you to always feel free to ask for what you'd like to see in stock be it an expensive or inexpensive yarn.<br />If there is a yarn you want to see in the store, please do let me know. I have never been very good at reading minds. same goes with classes.<br /><br />We are now open till 7 pm on Friday's.<br /> <br />Please visit this site to learn how you<br />can make a difference in the economy and<br />support your local merchants.<br />http://www.the350project.net<br /><br /><br />We want to thank all of you for choosing our shop,<br />Coordinated Colors.<br />Thanks to great customers like YOU,<br />we will continue to be here through this down time in our country,<br />providing you with quality products and project assistance<br />for many years to come.<br />The owner and staff of<br /><br /><br />Coordinated Colors Yarn ShoppeSherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07337248420813916941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166069467140319919.post-21122917381309353122009-09-09T16:33:00.002-04:002009-09-09T16:34:48.986-04:00New ClassesBecause the Jewish High Holy Days of <span style="font-weight:bold;">Rosh Hashana</span> and<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Yom Kippur</span> occur later in September this year, classes will have to begin on October 3rd.<br /><br />For those who have wanted to make socks, the first class will meet that day at 1:00 pm<br />Class will meet a min of <span style="font-weight:bold;">4, 2 hour sessions Cost $45.00</span><br />plus materials<br />………………………………..<br />There will also be a special workshop for anyone who has wanted to learn to use double points at <span style="font-weight:bold;">4:00pm on October 3rd.</span><br />Cost for this special class will only be <span style="font-weight:bold;">$15.00 plus materials. </span>we will be completing a small and delicious project the same day.<br /><br />Other classes will be in our regular news letter.Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07337248420813916941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166069467140319919.post-47019248364769393932009-09-08T07:48:00.002-04:002009-09-08T07:53:12.040-04:00It's way to early!

I have been so terribly busy. The shop and the children, being a class Mom and my son's Bar Mitzvah...no time left.<br /><br />The yarn shop is all a buzz with new classes and summer yarns. People are visiting from all over and I have been asked to join the Virginia Knits blog.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span>Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07337248420813916941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166069467140319919.post-54045288623963720002007-10-23T11:57:00.000-04:002007-10-23T12:01:29.882-04:00Wow--it has been some time<div style="text-align: center;">Sorry to all of those who ever do read these blogs. I have tried to publish under another site and I love the people but not the site. Every time I go to add or do something, the site doesn't save automatically and so I lose the post.<br /><div style="text-align: left;">What's new with me......<br />The kids are back in shcool, they are doing fine. I am walking around doing everything in circles again. Especially socks! # pr almost finished, still on needles today.<br /><br />The NONI patterns are in, wel the latest ones and I HAVE to start at least one project today to finish it.<br />Brie's sweater is going strong and Troy's is finished.<br /></div> </div>Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07337248420813916941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166069467140319919.post-12839165627526265302007-07-18T15:05:00.000-04:002007-07-18T15:10:28.347-04:00Been working on finding really easy and good patterns for socks done toe up, 2 at a time. I guess I really shouldget the one at a time perfected fist,huh? Such is life. I do not personally know many of us knitters that don't take on more projects than we can reasonably do in one life time.<br /><br />Socks are still my #1 fun thing to do. I have come across a really cute doll and little girl sweater set that I am going to make for my little girl. I have been making the doll vest from the same book here in the store to show off new yarns. It's simply FAST.<br /><br />The children are in summer day camp, each one to be off to a week at scout camp this summer too.<br />Mom's a bit worried about each of them. I know they keep telling me that they are going to be ok. <span style="font-style: italic;">But Mom's not</span>.Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07337248420813916941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166069467140319919.post-6550201361986880462007-07-14T11:20:00.000-04:002007-07-14T11:25:00.011-04:00Well it's Saturday and I'm at the shop working today. Lot's of new folks coming in from other areas of the country.<br /><br />Cathy from Wits End Farm is on the way with her baby lambs for our family demo day. These little babies weigh 80 pounds already. We are going to have the pleasure of watching them be sheared, spinning the wools these sheep produce and maybe some yarn dying too.<br /><br />I have 2 projects to get off my needles today. One is the "nighty" I have been working on in the rainbow of colors "glossy" comes in.<br /><br />As sson as I figure out how to post a photo here, I will begin to posts these pictures for all to see.Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07337248420813916941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166069467140319919.post-54699086731064246032007-07-11T18:34:00.000-04:002007-07-11T18:37:23.222-04:00<div style="text-align: left;">It's been a great day! Met withe yarn reps for 4 companies including Euroflax yarns. It seems that some had contacted them to get in touch with me. I am looking forward to adding these greta new non-wools to our line here at the store for all of you that I have met recently that can not wear wools.<br />Oh well it was a wonderful day seeing all the new fibers but that left me with little time to do much else. I must tell evryone about the new handpaints tomorow<br /><br /></div>Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07337248420813916941noreply@blogger.com0
