So….FINALLY it feels a little bit Christmas-y around here! Yay! (Hey! Quit throwing rotten fruit at me—I’m a winter lover, ok?)
Ahem, just to be clear I’m a winter lover…from my cozy couch, looking out the window. I’m not a crazy skier or snowboarder or…active person. I like activities like sitting in front of an open fire, cuddling on the couch, KNITTING, drinking hot beverages…you get the lazy picture. So the time has finally come for me to roll up my sleeves and….chill.
But before I get carried away we do have one little piece of business to take care of. The Holidays. Why are they called holidays? Do we really feel like we’ve had a holiday? But I digress…
YARN! ACCESSORIES! GIFTIES! They’re all here…and more are arriving daily.
Those adorable Knit Kits are back…people really love these things. So handy. $25
Here’s a fun little video that shows you all the great features…

And for all you addi-turbo-circular-needle-lovers (or any circular needle lovers for that matter) here’s the perfectly designed clutch. And did I say pretty? From OffHand Designs. $59
And coming NEXT week, Fiona’s FAVOURITE and THE MOST practical knitting bag you’ll ever find….it’s like having a few extra hands. From Bag Smith. $35
And from a cute little shop found on Etsy.com, straight needle wraps out of the cutest fabric…I don’t know where she finds this stuff! $35
PLUS, loads and loads of beautiful single balls of yarn to make great stocking stuffers for you or a knitter you love. Silk, camel, cashmere, llama, my oh my!
I will happily hand over your wish list to any disoriented males who brave the estrogen and make it to the shop. I will hold their hand and lead them to the desired object. I will put those items on YOUR customer appreciation card. I will give your fellas a “thumbs up” or a “high five” and say good job. Altogether painless.
OH, and by the WAY! My class list for Winter 2009 is up! Check it out …
Stay tuned for another exiting Knit-Along announcement after Christmas ….
I will see you all soon!
