Knitten Buds -- Jeanette and Lyndee,
fondly known as the "Knitten Buds," are our local source for
wonderful 2/24 yarn that's great for making double jacquard afghans.
It also makes great sweaters, pants and skirts! Jeanette and Lyndee
have designed some fantastic double jacquard afghan patterns for the Passap
done in DAK and CUT formats. Some of their patterns are also designed
for the Brother in DAK format. The Knitten Buds have just
started carrying Confetti sock yarn -- a yarn that makes it's own design in
the sock without floats. Confetti is space-dyed at just the right
pitch for socks to make an interesting fairisle design. Please
visit their website and take a look around. They have some adorable
free patterns on their website as well.
