Good morning lovely knitters! It feels like a slow moving morning, but in fact, we have lots of exciting news to help you get going!
First! We revealed our 2026 patterns for our delightful Advent Calendars! The Northern Lights Shawl is the pattern for our hand-dyed Advent box!!
This is such a fun and gorgeous knit and the super soft Solea hand-dye will make you happy the whole way through!
And for our regular all-yarns-welcome box - we have this super fun hat and cowl set for the NEW knit pattern!
And as always, the previous years patterns will be included with a download code in your box! So, you have loads to choose from!
Also, in slightly shocking calendar news - it is 10 WEEKS until Christmas. Normally, I'm not a fan of talking Christmas way too early (as you didn't see our Advent boxes in JULY like some I saw)! But, we knitters and crocheters know that we have to have a BIT more attention on these times! For the next 10 weeks, we're going to be featuring some relatively quick projects that we have all kit-ed up for you to get some things done! And this week, since we are about half way through the Great British Baking Show, we wanted to show off our Star Baker Oven Mitts!
Since none of us will ever see that cake platter, this is the perfect way to give your special baker a little love! AND they make great oven mitts! I made these years ago and still use mine all of the time!
We also had a few NEW Cashmere Parfait and Reclaimed Cashmere come in! These are super time consuming, so even though I have it on my list, I'm not sure how many more there will be, so get them while the getting it good!
And lastly, we have a cute doggie sweater class coming up! Make sure you sign up soon and get that pup warmed up in this chill!
I hope to see you all today!
