Checking Out the “In” Colors!

Sally was running late. I was so excited to tell her about my whirlwind life of the last month. Part of that whirlwind was choosing something to wear for our 50th wedding anniversary celebration. But, more about the party later. While shopping in Florida (so our daughter could assure that my outfit was coordinated with her color choices for decorations), I noticed the “in” colors in the department store. Yellow, black, and white stood out, although bright red and bold greens were also plentiful. I always notice the colors that are on display, imagining what I might crochet using those colors and getting it finished fast enough before the season and colors change again! Knowing that my Boomers and Beyond friends always have terrific selections in every color, I just wanted to see what they might have in yellow, black, and white. And Sally could check it out when she gets here.

Are You Ready For Flannel Day 2009?


The Slip Stitch

Are you ready to get cozy?
It's only 16 days until Flannel Day.
Some of you may recall my new holiday.
I declared it last year.
You can read about it HERE.

Then come back here and
see what our BBEST Friends
have to contribute to the coziest
celebration of the year.

Talk about your comfort food.




Get your flannel house pants on everybody.
It's FLANNEL DAY!
Lounge. Eat. Drink. Be Merry.
Scottie Acres Boutique



Whip up some dip. Open a big bag of Ruffles.
Come on. It's Flannel Day. Go Wild.

Indulge yourself.
Sip some wine or champagne.
{Hey. Psst. It's flannel day.}
GlitznGlass


You can browse your BBEST Friends' shops for gift ideas.
Or you can just get sparkly yourself.
Flannel and glitz go together perfectly.

Flannel Day says: All Things Soft & Toasty Warm...

...Perhaps sit by the fire and knit.

Shop from your favorite spot
on the couch or in your overstuffed chair.
Isn't Flannel Day just plain yummy?

However you spend it,
treat yourself special, won't you?
And you'll be relaxed, revived and ready for the Holiday Season.

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends.
Have a Wonderful Weekend.
I am thankful for you all.

K is for ......

Silence......


Well, no, that's not really true, but it is for a silent 'k'


When it comes to Knitting the Bbest team excell!


So what do you want?


If neckwear is  the thing there is plenty to choose from

Magdalene Knits is our first stop



Isn't this a cozy looking neckwarmer.  I love that yarn!


A neck collar would be equally cozy



Or what about a scarflette?

This one is from the SlipStitch

Or this scarf


Doesn't it look warm.  It's by BlazingNeedles (I love that evocative name!)


A new addition to the family?  Where better to shop than with Bbest

Maybe you can be tempted with this hat and boottee set










Crochet is represented too.  How about this for the man in your life



Or this Scarf and Neckwarmer


A double offering from MagdaleneKnits.

A hat, another neccessity for winter.  Brrrr.



Or how about a fun item.


This colourful pouch is from jnoriginals.  It's been crocheted then felted.

If you want to make a dramatic entrance go no further



And you can even find something for your dog



 So now you know where to go if you have been inspired by any of the above, however, if you would like to make your own you can even buy that with Bbest.

Look no further than TheKnottySheep


These two skeins can be found here but don't stop there, look at the rest of the stock

(And as an aside, you may even find something here...)

Have fun shopping with Bbest
