This ‘n That

Welcome to the May 15, 2014 edition of The French Knot Blog.  We are so happy you’ve taken the time to see what we have to share with you this week.  If you’re lucky, it will be very informative and slightly entertaining… but I can make no promises.

 

First up this week we have some fun stuff to show you.  

Gumbo Pot Ornaments available exclusively from us!

 

Remember way back when… we received a bunch of fair trade baskets from Africa?  They were quite popular and went fast.  We have more.  There is a nice variety of sizes and styles.  Prices range from $30 – $70. Hurry up and get yours before they are gone.

 

 

 

We’ve also put together some Knitted Throw Kits.  Lots of color combinations to choose from.  The kits are $160.

New Kreinik colors!!  Aren’t they pretty?  We have these colors in #8, #12 and #16. 

 

Good News About the Sale Wall!  All Cascade 220 and all the Noro yarns (except sock) are now 50% off.  Speaking of our Sale Wall… we have started listing our sale yarns on eBay.  Now you can easily see what we are clearing out and of course ordering from eBay is super easy.  Of course, you can still call us if you prefer.

 

The French Knot is going to take a little trip.  The Louisiana Lagniappe Chapter of EGA has invited us to their 2014 Seminar.  We will be the Seminar’s Boutique.  We are excited about this opportunity even though it will mean moving a significant portion of our inventory to Baton Rouge for a few days.  

 

Two Needlepoint Reminders…

Leona does amazing stitch guides.  If you are stumped about what stitches would look good on a canvas, just ask.  If you decide to have her do a stitch guide for your canvas, you will need to leave it with her for a few days. The cost for stitch guides depends on the complexity of the canvas.
