Norah and Noni...and a few other awesome things:)

Norah is Norah Gaughan. We love her at the Needle Lady.

Her new book: Woodland Gothic.



Doesn't that just sound cool? Like Lord of the Rings meets Elizabeth Zimmermann? Very neat title. And I know most of you got a lot of knitting done through those movies.

SO- we have two of the sweaters in the shop. Two AWESOME sweaters. Check it out...

Eastlake:



and on our lovely needle lady model...



Loppem:


and here in person...the yarn is SO pretty. It's called Cuzco and we have really cool colors...



Strawberry Hill:



Unfortunately we don't have this at the shop right now, but who DOESN'T want to knit this? Come on, Susan, i KNOW you're game. This looks so fun and interesting. Only 10 people on ravelry have started this. Anyone want a challenge?

So, in short, we love this designer and have a lot of her other pattern books. She is also the author of Knitting Nature- an incredible book. It's the kind of book every knitter wants to look through before going to bed...to dream of incredible knitted garments. Wait, you don't do that? hmmm.

Noni is Nora Bellows. I just realized this post should be called Two Nora(h)s. These patterns are SO cool. She takes the felted purse and does wild stuff with it.

Huge flowers:





Fun purse shapes:









And now- clothing!



Nora Bellows WILL BE AT THE NEEDLE LADY IN JANUARY. We're really looking forward to it. Check out the classes on our website...

And one soon to be FO (finished object) for your viewing pleasure...

Kayla's cute little dress out of bamboo!



Come in and see us!
