Flying Fingers
LATE WINTER 2007

Sitting in my cozy chair looking at the snow & ice in my backyard it feels much more like the beginning of winter than the end of February. Here in the shop the question on everyone's lips is-- Where's the spring yarn? The answer is -- it's coming ... it's coming. Soon our shelves will be filled with all the fabulous colors and fibers the summer has to offer. You can make all those baby blankets, Lightweight sweaters, tank tops and bikinis to your heart's content.

We are also excited to introduce a brand new yarn company -- Punta del Este --. Their fibers are wonderful! Cottons, baby alpacas, cashmeres in great combos! And my favorite colors are dyed with real coffee!!

We are also very pleased to welcome back our own Lisa Singer to teaching. We have missed her enthusiasm, her humor and her great ideas. Welcome home!

Winter is not quite over yet, so pick up those needles and finish that project -- your new yarn is waiting for you!

Happy knitting,        Elise    ~

Winter 2007: TEACHERS
Carolyn Bloom
Carolyn Bloom took up knitting after the birth of her second child. Sleep deprivation didn't get in the way of wanting to learn this wonderful craft! (Sorry Tom and Brooke — who needs vitamins or exercise or meds when you can knit?). Her specialties include aran and lace knitting.

Denise DeSantis
"The Knitter Formerly Known as Denise Gale" ...Same enthusiastic teacher, new last name... Denise is a massage therapist who started knitting after graduating from massage school six years ago. Denise specializes in sock, aran and "technique" knitting.

Tina Fanelli
Tina was born and raised in Wuhan, China. When she was a child, her mother taught her knitting, crocheting, embroidery, sewing and most importantly to be original. Tina graduated from the Textile Industry College in China and has designed and knitted amazing sweaters, vests, skirts, dresses, mittens, rugs, and doll pillows just to name a few. Tina moved to the US six years ago.

Diana Lundeen-Goldschlag
Diana is the daughter of the owners, Elise and Kevin. Since she attends college locally (where she is studying Psychology), we are still lucky enough to get her to work part time in the shop. We're delighted that she's agreed to take on the kids classes!

Suzanne Scarola
Suzanne is a retired librarian who returned to knitting four years ago while expecting her first grandchild. She now has four grandchildren and another one on the way. Suzanne is most recently obsessed with knitting shawls in addition to baby items.
