Yarn supplies, fabric and more

For a while i was a reseller for Ice yarns, and all seemed to be going very well.. until a while ago where my client ordered some yarn DHL and it was shipped regular mail. the problem was, on the island she lives and to the address she wanted it received, she can only receive DHL. Well ice yarns refused to either resend or refund her money. That's not very good customer service - so I no longer represent them. My yarn is now on sale at http://louiseknits.com

Easy but difficult looking scarf pattern!

This is a really effective stitch that really has only one row of pattern! I made it using a soft merino yarn in a lovely orange color. I haven't finished it yet but i thought I'd share the stitch with you. I uses 4mm needles but gauge here is not really important. You need to have a multiple of 18 stitches plus 8 - 4  extra on each side I cast on 44 stitches. Abbreviations: K - knit P - purl YO - yarn over K2tog - Knit two together Lets GO! knit 4 rows  in garter stitch. thats the edge - also the last 4 rows, when you have knitted the scarf as long as you like, will also be in garter stitch Lace Pattern: Row 1: K Row 2: K 4, P to last 4 sts, K4. REMEMBER 1st and last 4 sts are ALWAYS in K Row 3: K4 (as always!!) *K2 tog (3 times) YO, K1( 6 times), K2 tog (3 times)*  repeat from * to * till last 4 sts - K4 Row 4: K. That is the pattern!! Easy huh!!! knit as along as you like and end with 4 rows in garter stitch!!

Found some fantastic yarn for sale

It's a supplier in Turkey, who ships in just a few days. the price of yarn is UNBELIEVABLE and although the shipping may seem like a lot, if you factor in the whole cost the yarn is still at an amazing cost for the quality. They ship DHL - I got my last order in 4 days! Take a look HERE and let me know what you think!
