A Little Knitty

Summer season is soon upon us, and I hope you still have plans for your fiber crafts. Summer is a busy season! I don’t know about you, but I knit year-round. Now, I may not want a huge afghan or sweater in my lap during the summer, but there are plenty of smaller, lighter projects we can still work on and keep our hands and brain in the fiber arts game. Here are a few small projects that caught my eye. Eugénie by Soligreen design selling for about $8.50 on Ravelry is a cute, flowing summer top. It is knit up using sport weight yarn and I think United by Queensland would be lovely for this. Socks are an obvious choice for knitting in the summer. These socks would be great for using those mini’s you don’t know what to do with, or leftover scraps you have. Patchwork house socks by autumngeisha are free on Ravelry and look like tons of fun to make. We have mini’s by Rainier Roses in bright happy summer colors that would be tons of fun to use for these socks. I just finished a pair of so...

We just received in a new book for our young (or young at heart) knitting friends!  You can find this book in-store or online HERE

Locally made greeting cards from Biely & Shoaf Co have been restocked!! We love this local business and the adorable cards they make! These are available in-store only

We recently brought in a new consignor in the shop...and we wanted to introduce them! These adorable packages are a Blind Date with a Book.

These are available in-store only.

I’ve been waking up more and more these mornings to the sweet sounds of the Dawn Chorus. Spring is in full swing and the birds are singing! Oh, how they sing in the morning! (Admittedly, some mornings I wish they would keep it down for a few more hours…) No one really knows why the birds sing in the morning, but what an amazing phenomenon. With that cacophony of song the birds just seem to be so happy. Being a bit of a bird nerd, I thought it would be fun to find some patterns out there inspired by our feathered friends. This hat shows different birds peeking through the branches of brambles. The pattern is Bramble Birds by Sara Huntington Burch and sells for $5 on Ravelry.
