Today, Monday Marketplace is honoring the 250th anniversary of our country called Semiquincentennial! We are getting ready with the red, white, and blue! First, Kelli shows us the beautiful All American Afghan that she made for a store model. It is crocheted and used 15 skeins of Plymouth Encore Worsted. Any other worsted weight yarn could be used for this afghan. The stars are individually made and sewn together and then the stripes are added on. This would be a great heirloom piece. Next, Pam shows some counted cross stitch patterns and samples made by Cher. There are more patterns with lots of choices for your fabrics. From the card making department, Sue shows some samples of cards made to celebrate the occasion. Glitter papers and dies are available for your own creative patriotic cards. From our giftware department, we have patriotic socks, music boxes, air fresheners and more. Last, we show new yarns made by Up North Yarns. There are three different options of this fi*****ng weight yarn; more tonal red, white, and blue, glitter yarn and a variety with speckles.
