The lovely TEAL colorway of COCOON is back in stock. Since we sold the last batch within a day, we would suggest a quick trip up here if you want any……Also some IVORY CREATIVE FOCUS SUPERWASH is back in stock!

So you know what that means. First off, the book of the week through our lovely friends at www.amazon.com:

Maybe it’s because our ears were freezing when we went out for our morning walk today, but we love this book! Check out the great hats within—suitable for all levels of knitters. And remember, that once you are on the amazon page through this link, you can buy ANYTHING and it benefits your local LYS. Hey, that’s us!

This weekend marks the beginning of a new month for our Saturday KAL. We begin a month of lovely SHAWLS. We have lots of patterns for you, and if you have never knit LACE, this is your month!! 600 yards of sportweight yarn or around 1000 of laceweight will do just about any of these patterns. So have at it! Shawls are HUGE this year. Why not be fashion forward?

On SUNDAY we continue MITTEN MADNESS, and it has been an insane run! Join KERRY as she instructs on three separate mitten patterns. We had a full house and lots of fun last week; we expect it to continue. Please remember that the Saturday and Sunday programs require basic knitting skills: casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off.

And new at the shop—we are proud to announce the arrival of MORE SHELBY YARN in WORSTED WEIGHT—both superwash and pure merino. Her yarns are literally flying off the shelves, so hurry in!

Also in, the special edition of INTERWEAVE KNITS: ACCESSORIES. Holiday gifts, anyone?

If so, please give us a call. We found a problem with the CHOCOLATE CHERRIES and BLACK colorways—they don’t felt!!! We have made TILLI TOMAS is aware of the problem and the company stands by their products—if you bought the yarn from us, please bring it back to the shop and we will give you a refund. We are returning the yarn to the company and they will speak with the mill that produced it. This applies ONLY to black or chocolate cherries from the last delivery (September). All the other colorways of FLURRIES and WHISTLER are felting just fine!

GAIL was kind enough to email us some photos taken during the FOX 5 MORNING NEWS show on TUESDAY. We now have the pattern for HOLLY’S HAT at the shop—she aptly demonstrated that yes, it can be done within a few hours, even for a total beginner! She was really a good sport! And again, many thanks to our staff and customers who braved the early, dark, and rainy morning to participate.
