Saturday, July 11, 2026

Good morning lovely knitters!  I'm so glad to see that it looks like a nice day out, though that torrential downpour earlier in the week was VERY welcome too!  We've started to get a little rainfall of NEW yarns in the store, too!

We got NEW colors of the delightful and delicious Rambouillet!!  So pretty - and they are flying out, so pop in soon if you want some.  Most of these new colors are already backordered, so we'll have to wait to get more!

We also got yummy, NEW Kid Silk Nuance!  This is a luxurious mohair blend that you will love for all your sweater and shawls!

And we've got our X-mas in July kits headed out the door!  These are pretty limited in supply, so grab one now!  They include a pattern for our light and beautiful Keep It Together Cowl, all the different yarns you need, some little goodies AND a special discount code for our Advent Calendars which will go up for sale on October 4th! 

Oh - and the last thing I'll mention.  A lovely woman came in yesterday and was showing me how the stupid AI on Google was telling her that we were closed permanently (even though right under was our listing that said open).  I went to go try to fix it, but it wouldn't say that to me.  So, if you ever see that and there's a way to report that as untrue, if you could, I would totally appreciate it!

Okie dokie - I hope to see you all today!  Maybe fresh off a summer trip and ready to relax at home for a bit?  Or for a project to take along to endure waiting at the airport?  (I love airport knitting - I don't know why.  I just do!)

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!
