Yesterday we received $3,000 worth of knitting needles, crochet hooks and point protectors. Despite there being a LARGE amount added to our inventory, we are still out of needle sizes. Lately we have been dealing with lack of inventory and more expensive inventory...two things that can be very frustrating. Across ALLLLLL of the lines I have access to, I found it almost impossible to find US4 to US8 16 inch needles. Not sure why...they are just gone!!! For right now as we have difficulties getting in some of the Ginger needles, I'll be adding some from Dreamz to fill the gap. Both are lovely wood needles!! If there is a size that you need, please feel free to ask..but the answer may be that we just cannot get them in right now! Oh...and I restocked all the cute point protectors and added these cute sheep!!

Does anyone else have Olympics fever like I do? I love watching the Olympics, especially the winter games. My favorites to watch are figure skating and speed skating, the biathlon, and cross country skiing. And anything I get a chance to see, honestly! And don’t you think this year's mascots are the cutest?  So in honor of this year's winter Olympics being held in Italy, I thought it would be fun to honor some Italian designers. These first few are sweater patterns that I absolutely love. This one is called Tata Matilda by marziasknit. I love how the colorwork switches background color in the yoke and the big flowers make me so happy. It sells for about $8.60 on Ravelry and uses a sport weight yarn. Juniper Moon’s Patagonia Organic Merino would be perfect for this sweater, and honestly might be a sweater I make very, very soon. This next sweater made me chuckle a bit, so if you’re in a slightly amusing mood this might fit the bill. It’s called The cozy crew by Annalisa Filippi...

Last weekend Ted came into the shop to introduce himself. You see, Ted is no ordinary human. Ted is an angel sent from heaven for the yarn community.  Ted. Untangles. Yarn. Yup, you read that right. Ted loves when people give him tangled up yarn and he spends hours untangling it and putting it into cute little balls of yarn!!! If you have a need for Ted, email him at ted.tacoma@gmail.com

This sweater is called the Anacortes Pullover and was knit with Rambouillet by Juniper Moon Farm! I absolutely LOVED working with this Rambouillet wool!! It's a dream to work with and I'm excited to have it as a sweater because it is soft but I don't think it will get me too overheated (hard to tell right now as it is WET!)

Hello from Minnesota! I flew out here to be with my mom and brother. It was still quite cold when I got here, -2 degrees as a high, but the sun was out and the sky was blue. Mom was dog sitting so it was good for me to be here to help her with that as well as other things. It was so good to see my brother, too. We've both been blown away by the support shown by so many of you. He has been able to continually help a couple of families he knows with grocery shopping, rent, and bills with money you already gave and continue to so generously donate. Without knowing how long things will continue, he hopes to use the funds already provided, as well as those that keep coming in, to continue to help in the coming months as well. He continues to donate on a weekly basis to a few other organizations that he trusts, so if you want to continue to donate to him or those groups directly, that is always appreciated! You may also want to donate to places near you as help is needed nationwide. Some...

Jen's Favorite Things - Mussleburgh - $45 Saturday, March 21st 10am to 1pm Jen’s Favorite Things - Musselburgh - $55 - 3 Hours Saturday, March 21st 10am to 1pm This hat is my GO TO when I am attending a fiber festival. I can knit and be social, I can knit while listening to a lecture, I can even knit and walk around…because once you get the hat set up, it’s just stockinette in the round for miles!!! I also love gifting this hat as it looks good on everyone! I hear a lot that the set up can be a little fiddly, so we will work on that part together and then you will finish the hat at home (the decreases are simple but we will talk about them during the class!)  The pattern is written for many weights of yarn, but we will focus on the fingering weight version for the supply list. If you would like to do a heavier weight, go ahead and bring the needle size that would be appropriate for the yarn you choose. You can make the hat with 100g of fingering weight yarn, but I usually use about...
