NEW FALL ARRIVALS, NICKI EPSTEIN, SHIRLEY PADEN

Thank you all for making our BLUE PLATE SPECIALS such a huge sucess! We’ve worked together sucessfully to fight the recession blues! Here is the last one for summer.

Because all of our customers who knit the top down shrug enjoyed it so much, we decided to make it a blue plate special. Now everyone can make one (or two or three) . The top down shrug looks great on all body types, is easy to make, and very very useful as a coverup over sundresses and tank tops. Here are the options:

OPTION I: one strand 50/50 cotton/acrylic blend + one strand cotton/silk blend with a tiny bit of metallic. cost: $72.00

OPTIONII: one strand 100% cotton + one strand cotton/ silk blend with a bit of metallic. cost:$74.40

OPTIONIII: one strand 50/50 cotton/acrylic + one strand cotton/rayon/silk blend. cost: $61.60

All options include a CUSTOM WRITTEN PATTERN

These prices reflect a 20% savings and may not be combined with other promotions. Offer ends September 1.
