Hilde's Corner April 24th

Spring has sprung!  Sunny days, rainy days, hail days - typical spring weather. As much as I love seeing the sun and blue skies, however, there is something about spring that saddens me - am I the only one that feels this way? I hate to see sweater weather end.  I love sweaters. I am a sweater weather kinda gal! I love snuggling into them, I love getting warm by them, and I love making them. And now that warm weather is here, we have to say goodbye to our dearly beloved sweater wearing days. I am not usually too keen to work on sweaters during warm months, but in one way it IS a good time to work on them so by the time cool weather arrives, a new sweater might be ready to wear! So in honor of our dearly departed sweater weather, here are some sweater patterns I found when I couldn’t help myself and had to see what was out there: I love the cable details on this pullover La Dijonnaise by Nora Bea . It sells on Ravelry for about $10.60. It calls for sport weight yarn  - I think Queensla

Pacific Prints

I have been stuffed chicken crazy for a little bit now. I saw the adorable knit one, but decided to do a crochet one for a friend (hello, crochet goes so much faster) but then I kept seeing the knit chicken over and over again on Instagram and in person at other yarn shops. I just knew I HAD to make one! I brought in a fun new yarn called Pacific Prints just for this chicken! It stripes up SOOOO perfectly for this short row filled pattern!! We have kits available in the shop while supplies last...or you can use scraps of worsted weight yarn and create your own!! You can find this new yarn in-store or online HERE    

Happy National Banana Day!

I found lots of banana patterns, but my favorite by far were these banana socks! You can find the FREE pattern on Ravelry HERE And you can find all sorts of banana patterns HERE  (you need to be logged into Ravelry to see this)

Potholder Looms

Did you notice that one of the winners in our Facebook Group last night had a finished object that wasn't knit or crochet?? It was made with a potholder loom!!! How stinkin' cute is that??? When we think of potholders made with those loops, we usually think stretchy nylon in pastel colors and you don't DARE use it as an actual potholder or it will melt right to your pot!!! But these next generation potholder kits are made with 100% cotton loops and there are websites dedicated to really elevating this craft!!! The best resource BY FAR is Piglet's Potholder Patterns . You will find so many gorgeous patterns and they are free! You can even download a .pdf with 528 charts that work for the orginal and the pro potholder loom!! We have the traditional and pro looms in stock and some of the refill packs . You can view ALLLLLL the colors available on the card below.  And you can see all the colorpacks on their website . Just let us know what colors you need and we will put i
