She is a Saturday night knitter, a fine seamstress and a Patriots fan.                                                                                              Photo's of Free style crochet rugs are now arriving.  Valerie completed hers in time for the Holidays.  She used Circus yarn and yes she did give away this gorgeous rug!  She also made this sweater featured in  the Vogue Knitting, winter 2006/07 in Cascade yarn, made with long sleeves for a very tall daughter. Valerie is a Saturday night knitter, come join us and see what else she is knitting.                 Larry, a needlepoint expert who has moved to Chicago, made this mural which is 6 feet by 5 feet. This took him only 6 months to complete.  We have an extensive selection of canvases and color ways to finish your needlepoint project.    Meet Barbara and her companion Nadia.  Fifty years ago Barbara knit a sweater and after finishing it, she spilled something on it, it stained the garment and  she was never able to wear it.  With a little help from Elissa and the  very good memory of Barbara's, it was re-designed and she is now re-knitting the garment in black and white cotton, just like the original      Barbara and Nadia                 Elissa and Barbara                                                                                      Bobby one of the helpful and knowledgeable staff at Creative Warehouse, winding yarn.                                                                                                                            Barbara and her family-daughter Lauren, son-in-law David and her granddaughters, Sophie and Mia.  They are visiting from China and wanted to see where Bubbe worked.                                                                                                                                                  Meet David, 13 years old and he loves to knit. He is a regular in our shop and a pleasure to have around the store, with his bright smile and quick fingers!  When I asked him what his favorite things to knit are he said, "I like everything except the heel of socks, that's annoying." His favorite stitch? Binding off and k2tog.   David needs his own page here!  He is now knitting a sweater he has designed, a pullover, with a collar, placket, zipper and rolled cuff.  He is using Reynolds Mandaly- 100% silk.  This yarn is currently on special- for lots of different reason's. David showing off his own design. Meet David David again David's Opal socks Carolyn David learned a hard lesson this weekend. His design wasn't going the way he wanted at the shoulders and he had to rip- He wasn't happy about that. When I checked in with him on Monday, he had re-knit the shoulder and was ready to start the sleeves- from the shoulder down. David is a regular at Creative Warehouse. He is 13, a new knitter and in under a year has completed 15 projects! Here he is working on a pair of mittens made in Galway on four needles. Here is David modeling his second vest. Here are David's Opal sock's. He put them aside for a short time and his foot grew! He informed me that if you see a sock yarn you like- buy it quick because you may never see that colorway again.

Lois is holding a sweater she is knitting for her son from Artful yarns, Fable.  This yarn is 85% cotton, 15% silk and she used her favorite pattern from Yankee Knitter Designs- Roll Raglan. This project is almost complete, just the neck to finish and  she purchased yarn to knit one for herself next.  Keep checking for the progress on this project.                                      A busy week at Elissa's.  On Saturday, November 3 we learned Tatting.  Taught to us by Pat who has been tatting for over 25 years and self taught,  she shared her skill  and expertise with us and within  an hour we had all  learned how to use the shuttle to complete chains, picots, joins and (some of  us)  rings.  We will be offering this class again, watch for details.   Give a little, get a little  inspiration at
