And here she is: Tammy Rabideau. Tammy has been a loyal customer since she found us over a year ago, and now considers herself the luckiest of person in San Antonio. She gets to come to Yarnivore daily, pet the yarns and work with wonderful people - such a deal! Tammy learned to knit and crochet as a child, but put it aside for quilting as a teen. Four years ago, the yarn bug struck again and she hasn't put her needles down since. She's looking forward to meeting and knitting with all of you. Come in and say "Hi" soon!

Sheila Says...
I am TOTALLY ready for summer in this snazzy new tank! I love the cable design in the front and the sexy low back. This pattern is a Melanie exclusive... hopefully she'll actually buckle down and write the pattern! The yarn she used was Links by Fibra Natura, a 100% organic cotton that is a knit tube rather than plied. The knit tube structure helps the garment keep it's shape and really makes these cables pop! All that's left is for her to write the pattern... no really, write the pattern!
Whoa, what's going on? Now that Melanie has gotten comfortable with the knitting machine she can't stop whipping out samples! I love this latest design, it's the Ether Wrap from Rowan Magazine #43 and it's made out of Bonnie's Bamboo, a 100% bamboo DK weight that is hand dyed in Melanie's home state of Connecticut! It's super soft and silky, not to mention the beautiful color, and I love the picot edge details and leafy ties!
Who is Sheila?
Sheila is our sassy store mannequin. She likes to talk about her outfits, give advice, and give the rest of us a hard time. Sometimes she's a bit of a smart-aleck and probably deserves a good smack. Unfortunately she has no head so we just put up with it!
