A Chinese wedding and a Fiesta!

It's a party in any language at Loops these days! First, check out this ring pillow that Gina H. made as a surprise for the upcoming wedding of her son, David, and his bride, Li Jie, who is originally from China. Since the traditional Chinese wedding color is red, Gina chose this gorgeous shade of "American Beauty" in Tilli Tomas Rockstar (with built-in beads!):

Gina has generously agreed to share the pattern. If you would like a free copy, please email me.

Also new this week is a great new color of Tempted Hand-Painted Sock Yarn: Fiesta! Stacey says a friend helped her put this fun color combo together - she said, "I never would have thought to put the turquoise in there, too!" Maybe it was margaritas that provided that creative inspiration???

And another long-awaited item...we just received the Fino laceweight alpaca from Alpaca with a Twist! We have some great lace patterns for this delicious stuff...but hurry, because I only got 3 skeins of each color:

The weather is cool and so are all the new things at Loops! Come sit & knit with us this week...

What a wonderful colorway! Will you be offering it on your website for those of us who are not local?

Hey Lisa,
I keep thinking about putting Tilli Tomas online, but the yarn moves so fast we are always running out! But I do still have some American Beauty in stock if you want to call the store at (918) 742-9276 (we're also working on getting a toll-free number ;-)
