We Has Cute

You can't resist these little guys. Made from recycled sweaters, they are known as 'Secret Keepers'. The paper in their pouch tells how they are especially suited to their job, "I have eyes to see what you need to show, ears to hear what you need to say, a pocket to hold what you need to hide and best of all, no mouth to keep what you need to keep secret!"


We also have some new kits from Knit Whits. The socks for tots kits are unbelievably adorable and the pointsetta felted mittens are just what's needed on a cold winter day.



Finally, more Crafty Alien Kits are here at last! She is always coming up with new designs, they are quick to knit and would make great stocking stuffers. Just some of the ones we've got are: pig, horse, chicken, clam, lobster, octopus, ant, ladybug, bee, and 4 different cats.

New Yarns

Apparently we have been getting so much new stuff, that we haven't had time to tell you about it. We have a sari silk wool blend: 60% wool, 40% recycled silk, 175 yards/100g. Nice and tweedy and it felts. We have 5 colors, they were sold out of quite a few, so we hope to add some more later.
Malabrigo laceweight. 100% Baby Merino, super soft, 470 yds/50g. 9 colors, a couple more on the way.Not a new yarn, but new colors of Farmhouse Yarn's Lumpy Bumpy. It's one of my favorites, and the new colors have my brain searching for a project.
