Good morning lovely knitters!  How happy are we all that the extreme heat finally broke??  It is still a bit warm for me, but SO much better, right?

And since this happened a few times this week, it reminded me to remind you - this is the PERFECT time to get your holiday knitting on the go!  Newer knitters and crocheters may find this insane, but those of us who have spent years desperately knitting as fast as we can in December know that this is just the right time to get at least some of those percolating ideas on the needles!  So, come on in today - and check out all of our great samples and kits and get something going - future you will be SO happy that you did!

 

We also got a brand new yarn this week (sorry - not online quite yet, so come and see it) - Queensland Kathmandu Aran!  It is SO beautiful and perfect for sweaters, hats, cowls - just a great all purpose yarn!

Our tutorial this week was for basic Brioche rib - so if you need a refresher before you start your Mobri cowl - check that out!

And in tomorrow's podcast - Aja has been crocheting some super cute things which she shows off and we had a really fun recycling project for your straight needles that I know you never use anymore!

I think that's it for today - I'm running a little late because it was finally cool enough to work on my giant mulch pile!  I hope to see you guys today!
