Fresh from the Basket Open House

We want to thank all of you who came out over the Easter holidays to help celebrate our "Fresh from the Basket" open house. Here are a few of the pictures we took. Below are our new projects before the doors opened.

















This is Amy modeling our rectangle shawl made with Cascade's Venezia Bulky in red. Same shawl in Cascade Venezia bulky in white is on the maniken. Doesn't Amy look cute?

This next one is of our Feza shawl. 1 skein of Alp Premier is all you need and the yarn comes in so many Gorgeous colors! (that's Beth's back : )



















Just a few of the people who joined us. On the right are Carole and Heather, both who are part of the Yarn Basket Staff.

We got to meet Dianne and her daughter Julie and they were nice enough to pose for a picture for us at the door prize table.

And of course, you must meet Matt. He is in the process of learning about The Yarn Basket and is working on the online shopping part of our website. If you are around the lakes this summer, stop in at the Okoboji shop and meet him. He is learning to knit and will then be part of our Des Moines shop this fall.












So thanks again and til next time, happy knitting and crocheting, Beth

Winter Snow

April fools or April 5th??? As we are preparing for our Spring Open house this week, it not only snows but we have a blizzard. Wow. They say the snow will be gone soon as we are expected to have temperatures in the 50's.

So please mark your calendars for this weekend for our first ever "Fresh from the Basket" open house. Great door prizes, awesome yarns and fun and practical projects for you, plus chocolate and cookies and a wonderful punch (non alcoholic).

Til then, happy knitting and crocheting.
