I'm signed up to be a vendor at the Old North St. Louis House Tour and Arts Festival on October 3, 2026. I'm planning to bring mostly crocheted purses and bags - but also a few lace shawls and scarves -  to sell. Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, 10 to 4. Exact location of my booth TBD, but somewhere near the intersection of St. Louis Avenue and North 14th Street. This is the corner where Crown Candy Kitchen is located, and House Tour tickets will be for sale at that corner also.

I'm posting photos of a few items (out of quite a few) that I will have in the WGSL Annual Sale Oct. 23-24, 2026. I'm looking forward to the sale. It's one of the only places around where you can purchase hand-spun yarn.

Norah's Knits news - I plan to participate in the Weavers' Guild of St. Louis annual sale this year, October 23 & 24 at the First Congregational Church of Webster Groves. Details are below.  

Small Triangle Shawl and Rectangular Wrap

Image
The small shawl on the left is knit from Little Knits Mirus, half silk and half camel fiber, purchased online. It's about 23 inches measured along the "spine." This yarn is exceptionally soft. The small wrap on the right, doubled over so that the pattern is obscured (sorry!) is knit from Isager brand Tvinni, 100% wool laceweight or very light fingering, purchased at Brooklyn General Store on our recent visit. The yarn is made in Denmark and is a very "crisp" wool that is said to be long-wearing, although that may not have much application to lace knitting.
