Olga’s newest pattern, Squish House Socks Pattern, is fun, fast, and the perfect project for cozy stitching by the fire. Knit up a soft and fuzzy pair in Loopy Mango Mohair So Soft (available in our ALX shop) or a fabulously colorful version in squishy Spincycle Plump (available in the shop and on our capsule!)
It’s also just in time for Danielle’s annual New Year’s Day Cast On. This year, we’re all about slipping into 2026 in the most comforting way possible: with some warm slippers!
We are open from 10 am – 4 pm on Thursday, January 1, so stop by the shop to swatch or cast on for your first self-care project of 2026. Our Cast On Party has no registration and it’s completely free. Just come on by! Olga will also be here from 12 – 4 pm to help you get started!
