Mojito's Big News

We have decided to give our line "Mojito" (100% baby alpaca, worsted weight, yummy) a facelift. And since we dearly love our devoted readers, we thought we would let you know so that you have a chance to stock up on your favorite colors before they are gone for good and bring in new ones. **All colors are in stock but as a reminder- you have to order our products through your local retailer.
And since nothing inspires me like seeing what other people have done with Mojito- there are some really creative people out there on Ravelry! So here's a huge THANK YOU you to all of the wonderful fiber crafters that have given me permission to share their beautiful projects with you as the kick-off to our goodbye to the Mojito colors.

Here is a beautiful shrug by HopeForHoneybees made in the Pink Impression colorway. So pretty! I just love these pictures! No touch-ups, nothing from a magazine, just plain old knitting and snapping a picture. I love a yarn that doesn't need proper backlighting to look fabulous! Here is a scarf from KZooErica, also in Pink Impression. Pattern is called "Edgar". Here's a lovely cardi from our friend BonnieBeth in the Hugs & Kisses colorway. Pattern is called Off-Rib cardigan from Stephanie Japel. Here's KZooErica again in her gorgeous "Anne" in the Fall Into Me colorway.I just want to curl up in this reversible cabled scarf by KKD48! Isn't it yummy?I absolutely LOVE how the colors worked out in Maryzona's Drunken Ruffle scarf! I might need one of these- here's a Clapotis by Maus in Hugs & KissesMsLynn, will you make me one too? I love this Star Crossed hat in Bountiful! And here's the mittens I made a few months ago (I'm Booknutty in case you were wondering). They're also in Bountiful, but it looks like the lighting was quite different!


Do you have a project you'd like to share with us? We'd love to see it! Email me at paige@alpacawithatwist.com or send me a link on Ravelry to booknutty.

Cooties

It's February, which means that everyone in the warehouse has been passing around the seasonal sniffles. So far it hasn't been overly serious, but we would like you to know that we have been taking precautions so that Jennifer (the sneezy one right now) keeps her germs to herself. We've even sent her home from Knit-Night so she doesn't get anyone else sick- she is quite upset about missing Show and Tell though.
And yes, we have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle working here. The economy is tough, and pizza is expensive.

Moving Knit-Night to Next Week

If you haven't seen it on the facebook page or ravelry group, we have moved knit-night to next Wendesday so you don't have to fight Superbowl traffic to get here. Email me at paige@alpacawithatwist.com for more info or directions.



Until then, here's a nice lookin' cowboy with some yarn.
