Well, it looks like we're in for six more weeks of winter. Darn that groundhog!

I think I have figured out the easiest way to cast-on for toe-up socks. I've been struggling to find a 'best' way and thought that I had if figured out - until I found what I think is the easiest and slickest way to start from the toe. No muss, no fuss - just easy.

Toe-up socks class is next Saturday, February 7 and 10 am. We'll be using DK weight yarn so you can see what you're doing but once you see, knitting with fingering weight is a breeze!

See you then.

The holidays are rushing up on all of us. Just so you know, I will be

closing at 3 pm on Christmas Eve

and

reopening at 10 am on Friday. 

We welcome you to come to the shop on Saturday or Sunday for holiday decompression if you need to. We can all share stories about our holiday fun.

We just got another shipment of Lang Jawoll. These are the special November colors (yes I know that this is December but they're running a bit late). This is a limited 'edition' of Jawoll. The colors will not be repeated, so you snooze, you loose.

Happy Holidays

Now that you're full of turkey come

Sit and Knit

Tomorrow Nov. 29

and

Sunday Nov. 30

 All day both days.

Sit and be merry with a group of fellow knitters.

UPS just brought a fresh supply of Berroco Sox yarn in new colors for the shop. These are 100 gm balls so it only takes one for a pair. Socks make a quick gift for the upcoming holiday season.

Want to knit a sock from the toe-up? I'll show you how to get started with toe-up on either day.

Sit and Knit

November 29 and 30

Relax after the holiday stress.

And, better late than never –

The September edition of Lang Jawoll Color sock yarn has finally arrived. This limited edition yarn comes with a dyed-to-match reinforcing thread for those sock areas that tend to wear first. The colorways in this version stripe less than what we’ve had from Jawoll in the past, resulting in a nice, overall distribution of color. I can’t find any pictures of this yarn online, so you’ll just have to come see for yourself.

With the holidays barreling down on us no need to be panicked for hand knit gifts.

I just received Ornamental Knits ornament kits. I have a good selection and these are quick to knit gifts that amaze.

This is the simplest of the designs and there are many colors available. If you would like a bit more of a challenge we have those too!

Stop by the shop and peruse the selection.
