Good morning lovely knitters!  Boy - it is a chilly morning!  But even though January and Covid are trying to bring on the doldrums, it has been a shockingly exciting week!!  Before I overwhelm you with pretties, just want to let you know that I'll be in the shop from 12ish to 3ish today for pick-ups.  There's a glimmer of hope that we'll open back open, for real, next Saturday, but I'm not sure yet - still watching the numbers like a hawk.   Ok!  First - we have a NEW Mad Ball pattern!!  And loads of new Mad Balls -...

Good morning lovely knitters!  It occurred to me, too late, last week that the Saturday email probably reached some of you too late to take advantage of the pick up hours because my system does this batch sending thing.  So, I thought I would get it done on Friday!  The main thing to know for Saturday is that I'll be in the shop from 12 to 3ish for pickups.  Just call when you get there and I'll run out with your goodies.  (Sometimes I don't hear knocking because there is a lot of dyeing going on right now and the...

Well, good morning lovely knitters!  A Thursday post?  What's this?  Well, if you read my email yesterday, you likely already know.  Yup, sadly the brick and mortar store is closed for a bit to ride out this insane surge in Covid.  You were all so amazingly supportive, thoughtful, and lovely with your emails yesterday, it made me feel much better about the decision and I want to thank you so much for being in touch!  In my head, we'll probably be closed until the new cases are less than 6000 a day in MA for a few days in row. ...

Sorry!  https://island-yarn.com/blogs/news/thursday-january-6-2022 Good morning lovely knitters!  Well, it is just ONE week until Christmas - which means I'll hopefully be seeing loads of your loved ones coming in to get you some treats this week!  I know you've been knitting your fingers off - so make sure they know what you want as your reward!  The easier is, of course, giftcards!  And there is nothing more fun than being in the yarn store with free yarn money in your pocket! But there are also awesome kits!  Or...

Good morning lovely knitters!  What a delightful day!  (Haha...gotcha - made you re-look out your window, didn't I?)  So, maybe not, but days like today were made for yarn, so that must be good, right? A new drop-ship kit appeared this week, and I can't think of a more cheerful way to keep your heat a little lower and having this one on all day long! The Heart Poncho is available in 4 different colorsets (currently - they go fast).  This one ships from Long Island so it isn't strictly available in the shop, but if you pop in, we may be...
