Good morning lovely knitters!  I'm so happy to have a break in the frigid icy cold!  It is a perfect day to come on in and fill up those eyeballs with pretty colors!  And we've got the perfect thing for you!  A NEW Mad Ball Pattern!

Meet Mad Melange!

The Mad Melange Shawl is our Melange Scarf pattern all turned into a gorgeous shawl just for you!  It is so fun, easy and entertaining, you'll have a hard time stopping your knitting!  And between Mad Balls and Tufty Color - the color combos are endless!  (This could also be gorgeous in many of our other color changing yarns if you want to swap in!)

As always, this pattern has been added to our Mad Ball Ebook which means it comes FREE with the purchase of a Mad Ball - AND that makes 2 dozen patterns that come free when you get a Mad Ball!!

And so, did you guess?  We also had a beautiful new batch of Mad Balls in this week in anticipation of the release!

This is also your last chance to get in on Sweater Club for this session!  Class starts tomorrow, so pop in, sign up and grab your supplies!

Maybe you want o try our Big Gay Sweater!  It is a GREAT first sweater if you are jumping in to sweater knitting - basic and easy, but oh so fun and pretty!

We hope to see you all today!
