Many of you have knit with the yarn many times...

For those of you who haven't it is a great choice for quick knitting accessories and baby gifts. It is a superwash merino and alpaca blend that knits up quickly on size 9-11 needles. You can machine wash on cold, and preferably lay flat to dry.
"Ikigai" (pronounced icky-guy) is the Japanese philosophy of having a source of value in one's life that makes everything worthwhile. It's your reason to get out of bed in the morning. Ikigai is often represented as the center of a Venn diagram overlapping what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs and what you can be paid for. Knitting off Broadway is certainly my Ikigai.
If you didn't know, this yarn line is owned by Pam Powers who has visited our shop, and designs the cutest patterns that really do reflect her cheery and playful personality. We are thrilled that Pam is designing more and more for babies and children since her colors and small format skeins are great for playing with color. A.Opie, and The Brown Stitch also have wonderful patterns for this yarn.
We also have MORE hat kits packaged in cute little Ikigai branded shoppers in the store that I do not have listed online. The color and pom-pom combinations are endless!
Natalie has knit up many various samples in this yarn and hopes you can stop in soon and check them out!
Also, we will be at the Artlink Artists mart this year AND their curated holiday shop if you would like to purchase some already made gifts!

Thank you for choosing to shop locally for yarn and notions since November 2007!

As a knitter, you can get very anxious when you hear how many days are left until the holidays...

Don't worry, I won't tell you! I have to admit, I have been stress free about my holiday knitting for many years. I will knit a special request for my mom or grandma, but I know everyone else does not need a hand knit every year. To be honest, I have some people in my family who say, "I do not want a handknit" OR "I love the hat and cowl you made me10 years ago so much, that it is all I wear and it still looks great. I don't need anything else."
This little newsletter is more about things you don't need to knit, or things that would make a great gift not-knit.

We will continue to maintain our regular hours throughout the holiday season.
