Classes for December
We've added a new class for December - the Sage Rhythm Wrap class.
Once you master the Mobius Cast-On, the rest of the project will go quick enough that you'll have a fabulous wrap to wear for the holidays!
3 sessions - Saturdays, December 6th, 13 and 20th from 3 - 5 pm. Class instructor is Shauna.
(We still have openings in the Scandinavian Mitten class, Angel Lace Shawl class and Stained Glass Scarf Class.)

Comfort yarn is also a comfort to your pocketbook!
Earlier this fall, we brought the Berroco Comfort yarns into the shop and they have gone over very well. Great worsted weight yarn, good yardage in a skein (210 yards), good for people that can't wear wool (acrylic/nylon blend), good for kids and babies (easy care, machine wash & dry), have a great range of colors, and is a great price at $5.75 per skein.
Originally, we only carried the solids, with the exception of the baby mix (pastels in baby colors), but now we've got some of the multi-colored Comfort in too!
Oh - and it's great for you afghan knitters too!

Holiday Gift Knitting
We all know that the holidays are just around the corner. How are your holiday knitting projects coming along?
Here's a cute pattern that would make wonderful gifts for those on your list ----
This is the SnowBuddy Family from Knitting at Knoon. There are 5 versions to knit in worsted, heavy worsted or aran weight yarns (and NOT felted so you don't have to worry about using pure white yarn!) These adorable SnoBuddies range in height from 7" to 3".

It's about the Feet!
Wow - the past couple of days has been a sock-knitter's dream at the shop!
First it was the Malabrigo Sock that came in (lovely yarn - soft and nice deep colors).
Yesterday we unpacked another order of the Pagewood Chugiak.
And today..........
