Extended Hours and Sit & Knit!

Starting November 4th, Bayou Yarn Shoppe will have extended hours. We will be open until 7pm on Thursdays only.

Our Completed Projects

Pattern: Something New Baby Blanket by Shannon Holding 
Yarn: Dungarees by Queensland Collection 

From Ravelry.com: "The Something New crochet baby blanket is a timeless pattern that will be perfect for any new addition and look great in any nursery. Using the crossed double crochet stitch adds a ton of personality while remaining delicate and beautiful." Linda's blanket is beautiful as is the herringbone stitch border she substituted for the one in the pattern.

The Soundbite Sweater by Marie Greene is from her book Knit A Little. Linda says it was a super easy fast knit and only took her ONE week!!!!

Yarn: Simply Spectacular DK by Emma's Yarn

Linda is trying to get an early start on her Christmas knitting with this precious tunic in a size 5/6. It will look great on its own for summer and over long sleeves for winter. Buttons from Katrinkles. Modeled by Miss Ellie. 
Pattern: Pumpkin Friends by Made by Devrie 

This adorable Halloween family of characters is the perfect decor for your home this season. From Ravelry: This pattern is for an intermediate knitter or for any of you beginner knitters who would like a challenge. The only question you need to ask yourself is, which one will you make first?
