Good morning lovely knitters!  It seems like winter is having a tough time letting us go.  Were we too nice to it?  I know those flakes got some verbal abuse the last time we saw them, but still they keep trying to pop up!  Grrr!  I'm ready for a little nice weather!

But at least we have NEW Spring yarn to keep us happy!  This week we got in NEW Cotton Merino Chic - which is a sparkly version of one of our favorites - Cotton Merino!  

That also meant that we could revive our Big Fat Stratus Glitz kits!  Add some sparkle to one of the most satisfying and wearable knits you'll ever make!

We also got NEW colors of Noro Saiun!  They are just gorgeous!!  Rich and yummy!

That meant we could update our Autumn Embers kit too!  

Our Mosaic Crochet Class is starting soon!  If you have some basic crochet skills and want to level up, you should take it!  This fun technique is surprisingly easy once you get it and then you can make all manner of amazing, colorworky items!!

We're rounding the corner on our red hat fundraiser!  All the remaining hats are just listed normally so that we don't have to deal with auction delays.  (We want everyone to receive their hats by March 28th for the next NO KINGS)  If you have friends that do not have a red hat yet, please send them a link!  We've raised over $1300 in just the last few weeks!

And just a head's up to those of you who are feeling the spring itch.  We are now accepting destashing again.  For those of you who don't know - you can bring in your unwanted yarn (no bugs, no scents please - those things can head to the trash!) and we'll weigh it and give you 250 stash cash points for every pound!  You can clean out the old and get some great discounts for something new!  Partial, unlabeled skeins are also fine.  Spring yarn clean out weekend?  Maybe you'll find some rogue red in that stash!  Also, please come in Thursday thru Saturday if possible if you are bringing destash.

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!

I hope we see you all today!
