Good morning lovely knitters!  I've been loving the cool mornings this week...how about you?  It is so refreshing!  It definitely moves that yarn over my needles quicker than those sweltering days!

We got some gorgeous NEW yarn - Tufty Color!  This is a gorgeous, light, fluffy, color changing yarn!  (I'm working on something with a Mad Ball with it - to be revealed later!)  Tufty Color would make amazing sweaters and shawls though!  Grab it here!

Sweater Club starts on 9/7!  Make sure you grab your spot soon - it is filling up!

The Greater Boston Yarn Crawl is scheduled for September 25th through the 28th!! Mark your calendar and pop in to make the Crawl Shawl to wear while you make your way around all the shops! We used Cumulus Rainbow and Cumulus for the sample in the shop, but it would also be stupendous in a Mad Ball, Making Tracks or Noro! So many options! Find the knit pattern here (FREE until the crawl): https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-candy-shoppe-shawl

And the crochet version here: (FREE until the crawl): https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/penny-candy-3

Don't forget to grab a skein of Louisa Harding Provence while the Lacey Scarf is still our featured pattern!  The Lacey Scarf is just the thing to finish off a long, hot summer! Easy easy and quick - it just might be the perfect thing to take on those last trips to the beach! And then you’ll have a gorgeous gift ready for the coming holidays - made with just ONE skein of Louisa Harding Provence!  The Lacey scarf will be a free download with just one skein of Provence through August only!
