How is it already the last weekend of September?? I swear September just flew by. I think it had something to do with  Carol’s Camira KAL and the massive amount of CAKE Worsted  we’ve been dyeing.

 Cast on starts on October 7th, so we are close to the finish line on our part and then it is your turn. Casting on is so exciting!  We should have everything shipped out of here on Monday. Which is no small thing since during this time Sara had her baby and is on maternity leave and Brandy our shipping clerk left and… . Life just likes to challenge us, doesn’t it?! I am so excited to see how these all turn out. I love a whole lot about Autumn from the leaves turning and all the pumpkin goodies but the knitting and the KAL we do with Carol really is a highlight of the season.

Sookie, Targhee Bulky, and Plushy: three lovely yarns for cozy knits.

(My current obsession, the plump and squeeze-worthy Plushy, makes the best hat I’ve ever worn! See?)

You’ll want to use Sookie for something all up around your neck – and Churchmouse Yarns & Teas’ Last Minute Muffler pattern does the trick!

Targhee Bulky is just the right bit of soft-yet-rugged for great winter accessories, like Shannon Squire’s He Said, She Said Hats and Mitts!

To celebrate the coming of Autumn and bulky-knitting season, take 15% off from today, September 29th, to October 1st! 

Now’s a good time to stock up for that last minute holiday gift knitting!

It seems I am always late to the party on these MKALS, like the current WestKnits Speckle and Pop!  I think I have a pretty good excuse with the Camira KAL so… not going to feel too bad.  Oh my goodness we should totally do a Blue Moon Late to the Party KAL. hehehe

Anyway…I could not resist some color play. So here are some trios that will work very, very well with our color story kits. Featherlight being the yarn of choice!

Go take a look at the Color story kits and match one with one of these lovelies. I have to say the Magical Mystery Tour trio is making my color obsessed soul sing!!

Okay I have like 4 minutes left….

Yikes.

By request I have added another dye class.

Our School of Yarn has shipped!! We are leaving signups for this semester open for a while, so if you want to join the fun you still can!

Anna Zilboorg joined!!!!

We are having a Halloween STITCH and WITCH: bring your witchy selves and come knit with us for the afternoon on  Saturday October 7th, 3 to 5 – get the location and other details on our FB group!

And…time is up. I am sure there are typos!!

What is your favorite thing about Autumn?!
