Its September and the knitting season has begun. Knitters are excited, the new fall colors and yarns are inspiring.
Knitters are moving on from scarves to hats and felt bags. Self striping yarns have inspired knitters to knit hats to match the scarves they gave as gifts last year for the holidays.

Otter Creek Store
Welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy reading about me and my world. I have been in the fiber arts business since 1980. I spin, knit, and sometimes weave. I design my own patterns and enjoy teaching and sharing my skills with others.
Our beautiful yarn shop on 139 N. Diamond Street in Mercer PA closed December 30, 2007.

Otter Creek Yarn is still a business. I am still selling off store inventory. I look forward to the day when I can officially be finished. I really like being retired and free to come and go and work in my garden.
Knit on!!
