Local designer Jamie Lomax designed this adorable cowl & hat that are the PERFECT project to work on during the holiday season. It's fun to knit it up this year (maybe cast on Christmas morning?) and wear it for MANY years to come. Although it's far from ugly...it would be awesome to wear during "Ugly Christmas Sweater" season!! This pattern is fun and keeps things lively! Grey Drizzle Fibers created some DK skeins that will work PERFECTLY for this pattern! Or...would be awesome for a colorwork sweater!!!! You can find the kits in-store or online HERE

Kit includes: Pattern packet with lots of photos Locally made wood loom Yarn & Cotton Thread Felt for finishing the back.

I don't think I have EVER been so excited about finishing something! This project was pure persistence and determination!!! This is the Shawlography which was the Stephen West Knit-a-long that began in October. Here is his for a better pic! Sure, this isn't a knit I would usually choose...but I'm SOOOOOOOO glad I did it! I learned a lot and it really got my knitting mojo going!! This would be a great way to use up bits of fingering yarn you have laying around (you don't need 5 full skeins!) I also loved using yarns by Heather Ellis, Rainier Roses, Jadawoo, and one stash yarn (the white...who knows where it came from!!!) If you want to read more about the pattern....you can do so HERE

The mystery has been revealed!! This Winter 2021 Mystery Box was inspired by snow!! - Rainier Roses Bulky Weight Yarn in 5 different shades (each box got one shade!) - Katrinkles "Thanks, I Made It" Wood Pin - Jingle Bell Stitch Marker - Knitting Fever Faux Fur Pompom - Lotion/Handcare Kit and an adorable warm hat lip balm - Snowflake chocolate by Gosanko - 1 Knit Hat Pattern, 1 Crochet Hat Pattern and a BONUS Knit Earwarmer Pattern because I can't help myself!! - Link to additional inspiration! There were 5 colorways to pick from, but we only have 3 remaining after all the boxes went out. They are now on the floor for sale (will be online soon) Here is the sample knit hat we did with the more variegated yarn. And the earwarmer! You can still get a Winter 2021 Mystery Box! There are only a few left but you can grab them in-store or online HERE

I have a little blog post about something that has NOTHING to do with yarn (ya, I'm shocked too!)  Recently I have attended a few city meetings where we discussed the homeless and drug crisis not only here, but everywhere! We have an amazing advocate for the homeless who works for our city. He has spoken with us on what we can do to help the situation...and it's completely counterintuitive to what you would think. I care passionately about the humans in our community. With the help of Jo (who made the masks) and our community (who bought the masks) we have donated thousands to local food banks over the last 18 months!!! But the important thing here is to support charities who help those in need. Please do not give any money or food to the homeless, it actually hurts them! We have a gentleman who has been living in B street plaza for weeks now. He is kind and harmless, but he is out in this insanely wet and cold weather...because he makes money doing so. He has been offered help...
