Good morning lovely knitters!  I'm trying to make a deal with mother nature this morning.  Are you with me?  How about no more flakes from the sky? Yuh know, until November or so.  I think we may have a delightfully springy week ahead.  I just hope those daffodils can fight their way through the snow piles!

Lots and lots of news this week, but I'll try to keep it as succinct as I can!  First - don't forget to change your clocks tonight!  I know everyone thinks spring forward stinks, but if we have to do this dumb time changing, this is the one I love - it'll be light out until almost 7!!  Wahoo!

We had some more NEW springy Mad Balls in this week!

We also got LOADS of new yarn!  Including the spatter dye version of Winqu!  Winqu Alqa!  It is so gorgeous and soft!

And Junto - a perfect cotton/linen blend for those of you that have had it with winter and are itching to cast on a nice, light summery top!

To make space for these guys, we let lovely Provence head to the sale bin!  Get it before it's gone for 20% off!

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!!

Next week is also the deadline if you would like to contribute a red hat for our auctions for Stand with Minnesota!  (We want everyone to receive their hats by March 28th for the next NO KINGS)  As more and more people have gotten them, the auctions have slowed down a bit, so if you have people asking you for them, 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.
