LAST MINUTE GIFTS TO BE PROUD OF

We're not pointing any fingers or trying to make anyone feel guilty. It happens. With less than a week until Christmas, there's always a rush to finish all that holiday shopping in a matter of days. Don't worry, we're here for you. Moreover, we have some quick gifts that are one-size-fits-all and are sure to look good on anyone.

Gift Card

Better than cash, this little plastic card is just what every knitter craves. Not only is it redeemable online, in our store, or over the phone - we even save your number on file in case the card gets lost! Available to ship the next day, in a variety of denominations, our gift cards are the easiest and simplest gift there is to give to knitters.

Get Ready For Happy Hour!
OUR WEEKLY CLASSES CONTINUE

The overwhelming popularity of our new Happy Hour classes this season has proven that even knitters need to kick back and relax. To help area knitters do just that, we've decided to keep our weekly Happy Hour classes going after the New Year.
We've listened to your suggestions and scheduled a series of lessons that should be illuminating to knitters across the board - from beginners to advanced! The pricing will stay the same; one class for $15, three for $35 and six for $60, making learning new skills easier and cheaper than ever.

Check out our upcoming schedule and register online, before the classes fill up!

Tips & Tricks
WITH JUDY WILCOX

Knitting ribbing in stripes.
"When you are ready to change color, be on the public side (right side) of your work. Knit all the stitches (yes, even those purl stitches) with your new color.

On the 2nd row, (non-public or wrong side when knitting back and forth and Public side on circular), go back to your rib with this new color. You won’t see bumps of color on the right side and you won’t see on the right side of your work that your knit only row was not a rib."

Look for more Tips & Tricks from Judy in upcoming newsletters, or take one of her upcoming Tips & Tricks classes this winter!
