Whew…I feel like I just turned around and it’s August! Daily shipments of yarn are appearing at our doorstep and the store is topsy turvy. But no rest for the weary! I have been knitting up a storm and am ready to get going on all those Fall samples.
I would like to highlight two great yarns that are flying off the shelves. One is Montana by Tahki. This bulky weight yarn has a lofty feel and has a great book created specifically for the yarn with fantastic patterns!
The other new yarn that everyone is dying to work with is the Noro Silk Garden Sock. The colors are amazing, as can be expected, and the texture is even more beautiful in a sock-weight yarn. We are all stashing it for lacework!
New shipments are arriving daily so keep watch on the blog for great pictures and posts about all that’s terrific for Fall! Still a few beach days left to get started!
See you soon!
Another note to the woolies…

Well, if you haven’t seen the dress I have knit you must be hiding under a rock, because I have been trying it on for everyone! I still can’t believe it fits. So anyway, that’s my latest FO and I wanted to post pics on the blog. Currently working on my Clapotis with pics to follow later this week. I am hoping to start dropping stitches on that this weekend…something to look forward to.
And if you haven’t seen the new Knitty, there is a great kids dress that I think will be one of my next projects…that’s really the only thing I liked on there. More to come soon!
Sooo…it’s about time we had a Wooly Knitalong. For those of you who don’t know, a knitalong is a project that brings together knitters from all over to all focus on a particular project and knit it together, communicating with one another through some vehicle. In this case, we will discuss our progress through Ravelry. I have set up a group for shop patrons called “Wild At The Wooly.” If you are not already a member, feel free to join and you can participate in our thread titled “Clapotis KAL”
Come shop in Red Pink Bank! We’ll be open Sunday May 4th from 1pm-4pm to kick off Riverview Medical Center’s breast cancer awareness week. Receive 15% off any pink yarn purchase and receive a coupon for $5 off your next $25 purchase when you pledge to get a mammogram. The town will be hopping with all sorts of pink deals–definitely worth a visit!
Join us this Saturday from 10am-6pm as we kick off spring in Red Bank! We have great new samples all fresh off the needles. Come in to try on the latest wraps, vests, cardigans and tanks. When you’re done, you can browse all the latest Spring offerings from other participating vendors in town. Hope to see you there!
Well, I am sure everyone will be happy to know that I am getting back on my feet. Yesterday my doctor let me get rid of the boot and I am actually walking again (with some assistance). These past few weeks have given me lots of knitting time. Below are pics of my latest sweater for me as well as the latest creation for Andie. Just a few ends to go and then ready to wear. Keep your eye out for pictures of the baby–she’ll be wearing the dress for passover!!!
If you have been by Wooly Monmouth these past few days and haven’t seen me, I can explain. Friday morning I was heading down the stairs with Andie and my cat got under my feet. I slipped on his tail and fell down 4 stairs. Luckily Andie was ok, however, I wasn’t. Long story short, I broke two bones in my ankle which caused a dislocation. Surgery was necessary and I spent the night close to the shop at Riverview Medical Center. Of course I have been relegated to the couch which allowed me to finish the back of Jana from Rowan Studio 2. Despite the pain in my ankle, I must say knitting with the Rowan Calmer is quite pleasant. I have also had a nice opportunity to review the latest shipment of books. 
Unfortunately I can’t lay around on the couch forever. Feel free to stop by the store and wish me well, as I plan to recover at Wooly Monmouth with my leg propped up on a chair. No rest for the weary.
It’s been pretty tough for me to schedule classes these days since I have had the baby. Sundays are quickly becoming “family day” in the Kershner household and have thus left little time for knitting classes. I am so proud to have the very talented Lise Patterson joining me in teaching some interesting classes. Lise will be teaching the upcoming Socks and Fixing Mistakes classes. In addition, she has some great techniques to show us on knitting with beads. That class will be held on April 6th from 2pm-4pm. We are currently working up some terrific swatches with luxury yarns and will post them when they are complete. I am also going to try a pattern for a necklace which will be a terrific summer project and a terribly inexpensive gift. I imagine one ball will make many, many gifts. More to follow!
