Due to a bad case of impatience, I refuse to wait until my December 1 update to introduce the first of two new yarns to the Gritty Knits line: Behold SLINK!

SLINK is an 18/2 lace weight made from 80% merino wool and 20% tussah silk. 930 yards (about 100 grams) per ball. (I know it’s a little late for last-minute Christmas gifts made from almost a thousand yards, but maybe if we all get started now, our shawls will be done in time for NEXT year’s holiday season.)

New yarn #2 will be coming in the next couple of weeks. Here’s a hint: Big nommmmm

Gritty Knits will have a booth at the Kid ‘n’ Ewe festival in Boerne this weekend! My booth is in the STAR building. Here’s all the details:

Kid ‘n’ Ewe
Kendall County Fairgrounds
1307 River Road, Boerne, TX
East on Highway 46 (River Road)

Friday Nov. 11: 12pm-6pm
Saturday Nov. 12: 9am-6pm
Sunday Nov 13: 9am-3pm

I don’t know if I will have internet access at the fairgrounds, but I will try to keep the shop’s inventory updated as much as possible as items sell out. All orders placed this weekend will ship out on Monday when I get home.
