For all of you who have been anxiously awaiting the release of the Knitted/Crocheted BBQ patterns, your wait is almost over! On Thursday, July 6 Laura and Emily will be hosting a pattern release party here at Lint. Please join us from 6-9pm for refreshments, prizes, cool stuff and yes, the patterns! If you can't make the party, we will have the patterns available at the store following the release. You can check out the progress and other cool info at www.knitcrochetbbq.blogspot.com. Yum!
The new Summer Class Schedule is in mailboxes and online. (Like the fabulous Shibori Felting Class, shown here.) Check it out at www.LintInc.com. As always, if you don't see a class you've been dying to take, just send us an email and we'll take it into consideration for the next class schedule. And, if you're a knitting teacher, I'd love to hear from you. We're always looking for fresh classes and talented instructors!
Check out the newest issue of knitscene! Again, our talented staff and former staff members are strutting their stuff with these beautiful designs. Laura Irwin dazzles us with her amazing Mint Julep sweater, while Emily Bixler shows off her collar design skills with these two beauties. You can see images and get more info at www.interweavepress.com. Congratulations Laura and Emily!
We have just received our shipment of gorgeous Namaste glass needles. These needles are made from Pyrex glass, so they are resistant to breakage. The tops are all different colors and textures. The needles have a hard shell case that you can buy separately to keep them safe. Namaste also has a great line of knitting bags and fabulous needles case. (Pictured here.) I snapped up one of these cases for myself so that I could have a place to put my extensive needle collection that was safe from baby. They come with different pocketed pages to fit different kind of needles and notions. A very cool item if I do say so myself. The pages can be ordered if you need more, like I do! These needles and bags are a must see item. Check them out at Lint, or go to their website. www.namasteneedles.com.
The long awaited and wonderfully fabulous Destiny Circulars by Lantern Moon have arrived. They cost $24 a pair and come in sizes 4-11. I'm working with them right now, and they're just as dreamy as their original straight needles. Come check 'em out!
What a great summer project and a fabulous original design. This bag was designed by Laura Irwin who also teaches the class on how to make it. You will learn cables, shaping, button holes, and all kinds of tricks. Class starts Monday, June 5. Call us at 503. 226.8500 to sign up!
These sweet little beaded stitch markers are made right here at Lint! Each set of 5 is one of a kind and cost only $10 with case included.

A second Baby Cashmerino Book was just released and we absolutely love it! If you've got little ones to knit for, this would be a great one to check out! (I'm already scheming...)
See here the newest addition from the Fibre Company. This little beauty is called Savannah. It's a pecular blend of Merino, Organic Cotton and Soya Silk. It's about 3 1/2 stitches to an inch, so it's super fun to knit.
