If you struggle to work in the round on double points or with magic loop, we get it! We don’t all enjoy using those methods. Our #ToolsTuesday feature this week might be a game changer for you! Flexi Flips are a great alternative for small circumference knitting. Two of these flexible short needles hold the work while the third loose needle becomes your working needle. #addiflexiflips #dpnalternatives #knittingtools #knittingnotions #shopalxva #otboutiques
Next week we're offering several sessions of Stitch in Space for our furloughed friends! Register for a free spot to come and practice your skills in a small group setting where we'll have several seasoned stitchers on hand to help you out. Grab your project and join us for a bit of community in space!

Huge thank you to everyone who has donated to our @knittherainbowinc @smyal_dmv clothing & accessory drive so far! 

We’ve gotten a few questions so we wanted to answer them here: 

What can you donate? New, unworn, handmade items. We can’t accept previously worn hand stitched items, so please make sure your items are unworn and handmade. 

Can you mail us donations? Unfortunately, our small shop doesn’t have the capacity to process mailed donations. If you aren’t local or can’t stop by the shop to drop off your donations we encourage you to find an organization in your community who can accept handmade items and distribute them to someone who could use them. 

Is there a deadline? Nope! This is an ongoing thing we are partnering with KTR & SMYAL to do. The Yarnistas are happy to accept your donations in the shop anytime you can bring them by. 

Thank you all for your generosity and talent in making so many lovely items to help our community!
