Good morning lovely knitters!  I'm going to be crazy quick today because I know that tons of you are getting ready for NO KINGS!  Don't forget your red Melt the Ice hats!  I'm glad its a cool enough day for everyone to want to wear them (here at least).  I was worried that it would be 85 degrees and there wouldn't be a resistance hat to be seen!  But instead we got a brisk, sunny day!  Perfect to make your voice heard!

We still have some red hats for sale in the store - still to support Stand with Minnesota, so if someone in your group is missing one - pop into the store before you head to NO KINGS and pick one up!  We also have a bucket of red yarn - so if you encounter people who ask you for a hat during the day, we've got you covered there, too!

We also have NEW sessions of Learn to Knit and Beginner Crochet starting next week!  Sign up and come on in to pick up supplies!

Socks on Magic Loop is also coming up, so check out all of our classes!

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!

Ok - that's it!  We've got loads of yarn if you are looking to be tempted and will be open regular hours.  Hope to see a parade of Melt the Ice Hats walking in!
