Saturday, April 25, 2026 - LYS DAY!!!

Good morning lovely knitters!  It is LYS DAY and we have a gorgeous day ahead for it!  There's lots of fun to tell you about so I'm going to get right to it!

First - the quickies!

You'll get double stash cash points all weekend (until Sunday - midnight) on all purchases!

We've got our cute, tiny prize envelopes loaded with awesome prizes - including a whole bunch of finished samples that we are loving along to you! Pick a prize when you spend $40+! (in store only)

We have FREE pattern packs for anyone spending $40+ (one per person)

We're doing the friend-stitch challenge again this year!  It is so fun - so come with a friend or we'll pair you up with someone if you can't recruit someone to come with you.  (in store only)

And - did you know if you spend $75 on many of our yarns - (this is a Knitting Fever promotion, so we'll help you figure out what all qualifies if you need help) and send your receipt to them at socialmedia@knittingfever.com, you could win a Lykke Needle Set!!

We also added some new yarn to the sale bin this week - gorgeous Cotton Soft.  I really didn't want to let it go, but I can't get anymore, so there we are!  Have at it!

Now, the longer winded stuff and pretty pictures!

We released TWO new patterns/kits this week, just for LYS Day!

The first is this SUPER fast, light, and fun Combo Ten Cardi.

Perfect for cool evenings!  And you'll knit it so fast, you'll probably want to cast on another right away!  

This prices are marked down (already marked down on the listing) 15% for this weekend only, so grab one soon!

I've also been winding my little arms off making Combo Fibers for the Combo Ten Cardi, so if you want to score some NEW skeins, check them out here!

The next new pattern is the Chasing Rainbows shawl!

This is about as easy as it gets for a shawl - and it is totally reversible!  Made with Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus Rainbow, most of you know that it is super soft also!

We also got the NEW Noro Magazine in this week!

And just yesterday, a NEW big box of Mebuki arrived!

We also had some crazy gorgeous NEW Mad Balls this week!  I was able to hoard enough blues to make you blue folks a whole Mad Ball batch!

Ok - phew.  I think that's it?  I hope my list served me well because there was no way I was trusting my brain with all of that!  I think I'm over-excited!  I haven't been in the shop for an event in QUITE a while, so I'll be so happy to see all of you!

You can find us on Facebook and Instagram, you can also now find us on Bluesky!  So, if you have already fled the others, follow us there!  We'd love to see you!
