Knitting in The Loop



In an effort to feel cooler (!!!!!!),
my sista and I decided to visit Knitting In The Loop 
at their new location.
Lots of yarn to make something yummy for cool days 
(someday ... in December maybe????!!!!!).


Knitting in The Loop


Their new place is right next door to their old place,
but bigger and that means more yarn!



Open sign


Lots of gorgeous yarn, places to sit, knit and chat.


Mosaic Knitting in the Loop

I just had to include the photo of the knit tea cozy.

Thank you to our hostesses:
Mary for Mosaic Monday
and 
The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sunday.

Wishing YOU well and a joy filled week!

    Cute little shop! I'm ready for more comfortable weather, just not ready for Winter! I think I prefer the heat over 5 months of snow!

    Looks like a fun place to go! I love yarn and fabric shops even if I just touch the "stuff".

    Oh my Snap..my weakness..my love..OH MY! I do adore yarn. I love to knit..and knit and knit..even in the hot weather. Although I loooooove it when it gets cool. Of course knitting with a kitten bouncing around may be a challenge..we shall see!
    Hugs, Sarah

    I adore yarn shops, fabric shops, art supply shops -- I love the colors and textures, and most important the limitless possibilities of them!

    This one looks wonderful
    and just because it's hot -- keep knitting. Just use cotton yarn!

    What a great shop. When I go into the yarn shop in town I'm always convinced that I'm a better knitter than I am, and get inspired to start new projects. I guess that's the whole idea!

    So, what are you going to work on?
    I guess I'll find out how warm it still is in Houston when I return this week for a few days.

    Looks like a lovely place to shop...or just sit!
    I just started knitting last year, and I seem to learn new things much slower than I used to!
    A lovely mosaic!!

    A yarn store is like a quilt store, eye candy to the crafter. I just love all the colours in your mosaic. Have a fabulous week.

    It seems like I have been knitting since back in the horse and buggy years so this post and your mosaic were especially appealing to me. Nothing makes for a collage better that a quilting or a knitting shop. Nice work. Genie

    I love knitting shops. As a consequence I have tons of yarn and never enough time to use it all. I still love it though! ;-)

    The tea cozy is precious! I've been wanting to knit or crochet this summer! I know I would be inspired if I visited this shop! ♥

    I wish I could knit! I've always admired people who can handle those unruly needles. A crotchet hook is more my speed but it doesn't turn out such beautiful things. What a great shop!

    Such shops are dangerous for me as I can never resist and simply have to get material to make something.
    It looks gorgeous all and the teapot cozy is great fun!
    I have a project in mind for winter: fun socks to wear in my garden boots, made from left over wool.
    Have a happy day!
