Too much rain lately! So, instead of drops of water - or cats and dogs - let's hope it rains cashmere and merino for awhile!

When are the sharks on Cape Cod cuddly? When you knit one into an afghan! Patches thinks so. And note the pocket in the tail - the shark's, not the cat's - for tucking-in cold tootsies. Free pattern with yarn purchase.

Don't displease the Dowager Countess -if you don't know what a "lifeline" is, come to one of our drop in classes!

Variegated, self striping, self patterning - let the yarn do the color work for you! Stop in and see the selection - from lace weight to bulky.

Is your project in danger of feline attack? When you're not there to protect it, tuck it into a tote from yarn hound! From elegant embroidered floral fabrics to waterproof recycled materials, in sizes to hold accessories to single projects to entire afghans! Cat proof - and some are also cat themed.

Not all baby sweaters are pastel. The current generation of babies (parents) are favoring "mini adult" styles and colors. So think out of the box and take a look at neutrals, tweeds, etc.

Maybe it was the yarn, maybe it was a poorly written pattern.....maybe you should take Julia's Start Smart to Finish Fabulous class on Saturday @ 1 so this doesn't happen to you!

Julia's class in finishing techniques! Soaking, steaming, seaming, blocking, picking up stitches, etc., etc. A full house and everyone had a blast (and learned stuff). Sign up for Start Smart to Finish Fabulous - or our other upcoming classes. Check www.yarnhound.net for details.

For anyone vacationing on Cape, take the yarn hound exit.

This is intarsia knitting. There is still room in Judy's intarsia class, Wednesday, July 12th, 1-3 (that's in two days). Call to sign up - registration required: 508 385 6951. You know you want to learn this technique. Use it to knit a child's sweater featuring their favorite animal, or a scarf with the Pats or Red Socks logo, or a pillow with a picture of your cat - or of Tom Brady. The possibilities are limitless.

When your current project needs a little first aid remember our drop in classes, four days a week. AND, check our website for EXCITING ADDITIONAL CLASSES in July and August: magic loop, intarsia, fair isle, thrumming, crochet basics, finishing techniques, etc. etc.! Limited seating, so sign up early.

yarn hound will be closed on July 4th (but like most of you we'll still be knitting all the day) !
