at 5pm!

Sorry for the inconvenience but we want our employees and you to stay safe!

Remember, in inclement weather, we will post store closings here and on our voicemail outgoing message.

Thanks for your understanding.

“The weather outside is frightful…” but the yarn inside delightful.

We are open! This snow is the perfect inspiration to start a new project - such as our December Knit-along - the Schaeffer Shrugigan.

Or maybe warm worsted weight mittens and matching hat? (which you will want when clearing that heavy wet snow off your car - trust me, we found out the hard way)

Happy Knitting!

If you are participating in the Sunday NIGHT GARDEN BAG program, please bring any remnants of FELTABLE WOOL that you may have lying around. The flowers on this bag take very little yarn, and we imagine that all of you can make some friendly swaps! Thanks. And BTW, if you have been curious about felting but fearful, this is a GREAT beginners project. No hardware is required and the bag is done very quickly.

Check out this new kit from one of our favorite LOCAL vendors:

This adorable kit contains EVERYTHING YOU NEED to knit the project: needles, pattern, yarn. KNIT OUTTA THE BOX is the creation of our friend LAURIE and she has expanded her line to include adorable infant items. We have in stock BOOTIES and HAT, SWEATER and BLANKET kits. Whether you want to make these for a special baby or want to give them as a gift for the knitter in your life, we know you will love these clever and well-priced kits!

The Sunday in the Salon program this week is scheduled just for that day, not for the two Sundays as previously mentioned. Next Sunday, the 13th, we will be making the ultimate last minute gift, THE FELTED WALLET. You can knock this puppy out in about an hour. Make a bunch, felt them, and let them dry for about two days—VOILA! You can make them in white or pink if you want sparkly—or any of our Cascade 220 or Manos colors for your more conservative friends. Of course, with all the felting going on around here, Kerry will be on hand both Sundays to help you with last minute embellishments of either project!

Our staff has been busy this week! They have checked, priced and shelved BLUE SKY ORGANIC COTTON and all our BRYSON NOTIONS as well as (gasp! finally!) the CRYSTAL PALACE DPNS!!!! And then today we shelved the popular COCOON COLLECTION of patterns (how popular? We have sold 30 this season!) as well as the lovely teal color of that yummy yarn.

We are so excited about the programs this weekend that we couldn’t wait until our usual Thursday to post. First up, our KNITALONG on Saturday is a great last-minute holiday project. We featured it in the fall newsletter—the SHRUGIGAN. Is it a wrap? A shawl? A cardigan? Depending on how you button it, it is all three. It takes just one skein of the gorgeous SCHAEFER YARN NANCY and size 7 needles, and it is an unbelievably easy knit. You will also need six buttons and we have gorgeous new ones:

And on Sunday we begin a two-part NONI BAG. This NIGHT GARDEN BAG is the must-have accessory for the holidays. Although you may start this as a gift, we have a feeling you are going to want one for yourself! We have plenty of Cascade 220 and Whistler for felting.

As always, both programs are FREE OF CHARGE and run from 2-4 PM. Please call the shop to save your spot at the table!

Then join us today from 2-4 PM and learn to knit the REPUBLIC HAT (scroll down a bit and you will see the model). This is a fashionable EASY cloche. We have new amazing buttons for the accent and just got SHELBY’S HAND DYED WASHABLE CHUNKY YARN in the store, so you can use that. We have lots of other choices as well. You will need size 10 circular needles 16” in length as well as size 10 DPNS. Don’t know how to knit in the round? We will show you! The program is free of charge, which beats even the Black Friday discounts you received!
