Stitch of the month dates

Crochet - August 20 - Simple Tunisian 2:00 - 3:30 ($5.00)

Knit - August 22 - Faux Cable 12-1:30 ($5.00)

Our August Stitch of the Month will be a simple Tunisian stitch. For this we will still be using a size 8 hook and worsted weight cotton but will be making more of a coaster size project. If you have a Tunisian hook please bring it, but if you don't have or don't want to purchase one, we can squeeze enough stitches on a regular hook to make coasters.

If you want to learn either of these techniques but can't make the class times, please let me know and we will try to find a time for you.

Taking a quick, informal survey. I have gotten word that one of my companies will be releasing a Harry Potter, self-striping, house themed yarn to celebrate the upcoming t.v. series. One skein is supposed to make a scarf. There are 4 colorways, one for each house (basic pattern is on the yarn band) If you are at all interested in this – could you PLEASE answer the following questions, so I know how much yarn to order.
#1 Which house would you be interested in?
# Would you be interested in attending a Harry Potter themed party or just want the yarn?

I haven't heard an exact release date on the yarn yet, but please let me know your thoughts by August 15. I will update details when I have more info. Thank you in advance for any replies.

Well, I have probably officially lost my mind and after these last few orders I’m pretty sure the UPS and FedEx drivers hate me now😜
I told the weavers I would try to show them some love too. It’s not the prettiest way to store it, but it made it all fit.

What you see here are Circulo Yarns Anne (4/2) and Looma (3/2). The Looma is hiding behind the Anne (again - so that it all fits) There are 36 colors and Circulo has many other size options I am willing to consider if there is enough request or I can special order.

We also created an account with Henry’s Attic who offer a wide range of really soft, squish-worthy fibers, most are undyed so are great for DIY projects. We can make special orders if you have specific needs for a project.

Hopefully we will stock even more options in the future once we see how it’s going. Weaving is still a learning process for me but I wanted to show some love to as many of our fiber enthusiasts as I can😊

I think I may be working late tonight😳

I am so glad to see this shipment though. Many of you who have made it into the shop the last couple months know how hard I have tried to get these yarns restocked. There have been so many roadblocks along the way and I was just about to think it wouldn’t be available anymore and then with a few extra prayers…. Here it is! Please be patient as we go forward with this new way of getting this yarn. It won’t be quite as fast and easy but I swear I’m trying really hard to keep it available for you😊

You never know what kind of fun and unique items you will find around here. Just look at these cool and locally handcrafted goodies. 🙀
Ceramics by Christi Steelman has been working hard lately. She brought in these beautiful ceramic buttons, magnetic needle minders and the trinket dishes/trays are magnetic too! What a great place to store those little items while you work. It’s also not against the rules to set them out just for the cuteness of it!

Good morning everyone! All these storms have finally blown one of my storm hunting sons home and he will only be here today so I am going to cancel our crochet class for the evening (I am still on for the 2-3:30) . I just wanted to let everyone know in case you hadn't signed up yet but were planning to come. The planned stitch for this month is the Waffle stitch. Please let me know if you are planning to attend the afternoon session.
