Now in stock the Latavian mitten from Lizbeth Upitis and the green sweater by Sunday Holm (based on an actual Elizabeth Zimmerman sweater). Both join other patterns from Schoolhouse Press that we have in stock.
The multidirectional scarf pattern from Ann Norling is back in stock. Basically, it a garter stitch scarf, but the little clever technique makes it more entertaining to do and it looks complicated.
New solid colors of opal fingering weight yarn arrived. These are great to use alone or to add bands of color to your variegated sock yarn. They also come in handy to help you use your leftovers. I have many different ones in stock.
The very popular mini mochi (fingering weight) yarn now comes also as mochi plus (worsted weight). It changes color in a subtle pretty way and is very soft. Either of these can be used in the above mulitdirectional scarf for great effect. (Noro or Tapestry from Rowan or vero from fiber trends etc also make a great MulitDirectional scarf).
I don't know why but I find living craft and wild fibers magazine a very relaxing read. I just realized that the living craft magazine website has free patterns in their craft room. If you go to the living craft site you can see what is in the issue and if you look on the top and click on "craft room", you can check out the pattern.
Still thinking gifts: Glimarka swift, royal ball winder, needle sets (addi, Denise, brittany) all come to mind. We have gift cards that can be loaded with any amount if you don't know what to buy.
Knit kits that make a great stocking stuffer will arrive next week. They now come in black.
