Kathie Malcher, of Issaquah, Washington is a regular contributor.  Here are her pics of a yarn shop in Malaga, Spain, called Cinco Bolas.

The store looks very european, and has tons of yarn.  I would have loved to just walk through and touch and squeeze all that yarn.   

If you are traveling and treat yourself to a yarn shop, please consider taking some pictures for all of us to enjoy.  There's nothing better than taking a gander through a new yarn shop.  Looking at yarn that you may not know where you live.

We have a KAL going.....it's sort of going all over the place.  This KAL is happening in conjunction with some other folks; America's Knitting, Unraveled Yarn & Artful Gifts and also Just Knits.  We are all doing it seperately yet together.  If you are on facebook or Ravelry, check us all out to see what we're up to.  We even have a couple of prizes. 

Check out our projects page too.  We are focusing on not only shawls, but also knitting with beads.  If you have a project you'd like to see posted, just email me all the information, and I'll get it right up for you.

I'm always interested in what you are thinking.  Feel free to email me if you have a great idea for a meetup, a spotlight, a new theme for our projects page, or maybe our next KAL.  I'll be here knitting away on my shawl.

Fondly,

Mary*
