Good morning lovely knitters!  I managed to get my silly tech issues sorted out this week (always SO much fun) so we can have a REAL Saturday post!  And it became fall again this week!  I love it!  The yarn and the cats sing their little siren songs in my ears!

So, last week, we put up the pre-order for our 2025 Advent calendars, but I didn't get to say anything because of the grand computer revolt!  We have quite a limited supply this year - as most of you know, I've had a hell of a year, so I didn't want to over promise on what we could accomplish, so there's only about 1/2 the supply that we usually have.  If a miracle occurs and I can get more done, I will, but it wouldn't be a thing to hold your breath about!  Just order soon!  

We also didn't raise the price this year.  Though, yes, all of the components are costing more, we just kinda felt like everyone could use a break right now, so we left the price at past year's level.  AND this year's pattern reveal will be on Wednesday, October 15th!!  You'll also get a download code in the box for ALL the patterns which means you'll have TEN patterns to choose from for your box!

We had a nice batch of NEW Mad Balls this week!

And also - as a pat of our truncated news last week, we got a HUGE restock last week!  Loads of your favorites - Moonshine, Cumulus, Amitola, Beatrix, Sonata - and many more!  Part of this was just to fill up the store for fall, but part was to get in under the wire of some icky price increases.  We'll try to hold these prices as long as we can, but as the restock dwindles, yuh know, things will sadly go up, so pop in and stock up!

And, last, but not least, I just wanted to thank you all for coming in during the Greater Boston Yarn Crawl!  It was super weird for me to not be there, but I was so happy to hear that fun was had by all!  Thank you all, for being the best crafters any yarn store could have!!

Ok - hope to see you and stay warm and dry over the next week!!
