Knitting Lingo 101
We knitters love our fibers and have a language of our own. Here are some cute terms of the knitting world.
Out of the Box with Mr. Knits: More about MKYS 4.0
Mrs. Knits started in a garage in Mercer Island, just east of Seattle (1.0). Then she went part time (2.0), then included me (3.0) in a garage in Bremerton, just west of Seattle. :-) We're forging ahead with the next iteration: our own website store that does not rely on eBay.
Our Store is Changing...
Mrs. Knits has been working with Tim Minzer of Tim Minzer Designs on a new look for our store. We have decided to migrate from EBay to e-commerce because we have simply outgrown what we can do on EBay.
Knitting in Australia?
So Mrs.Knits decided that we want to become more flexible with our yarn seasonal offering. While it's hot and sunny in North America, it's winter time in Australia.
Are you ready for the Summer Camp?
Mr. & Mrs. Knits have fond memories of a few summer camps But what keeps coming back to Mr. Knits mind when Mrs. Knits mentions it, is the movie Meatballs, and that song “Are You Ready For The Summer?”
Out of the Box with Mr. Knits: What's up with eBay?
Mrs. Knits is so busy behind the scenes recently that I get to do a bonus blog entry for you!
One bit of news, we just opened up allowing orders to be shipped to P.O. boxes! I wanted to make sure any issues with doing so were fixable, and that we wouldn't get clobbered offering free shipping to a P.O. box. Let's just say that we still prefer that very large orders go to a physical address, but a P.O. box is okay if needed.
Out of the Box with Mr. Knits: Less Loose Ends
Hello friends in fiber! I'm not a knitter (at least not yet), but I know that Mrs. Knits favors large skeins of yarn so there are fewer ends to weave in.
Asian Elegance
Some of you may not be aware, but Mrs. Knits is writing a book called Asian Elegance,
Out Of The Box With Mr. Knits
So to introduce myself, I am Philip Mariconda, Vice President of Logistics at Mrs. Knits Yarn Shop, but you can also call me Mr. Knits. I will be throwing into this blog now and then.
What's New? Noro Magazine Vol #3-16

Who's Behind What's on your Needles?
Since 2005, Mrs. Knits Yarn Shop has operated on Ebay as the brainchild of Bonnie Chisum Mariconda. The industry has seen many changes since then.
Noro Spring 2021
Mrs Knits is so excited to introduce the new Spring/Summer 2021 Noro yarns. We are waiting for the new Noro Magazine #18 featuring hot new yarns like Sonata and Enka. Sonata is a cotton lace weight yarn and Enka is a cotton-silk light weight yarn.

Welcome to What's On My Needles?
What's this you ask? Since 2005 Mrs. Knits of Mrs. Knits Yarn Shop fame on Ebay has been a quiet influencer in all things fiber. This fall she is stepping out from behind the scenes online to come out into her own as a Professional Knitter and Fiber Artist. Mrs. Knits, a/k/a Bonnie Mariconda has had her needles flying since 1984.
