Revive your needle stash at our first Needle Exchange!
It’s the moment when I felt like a real knitter: I’d gone to the shop to buy a set of needles for a project, only to later find the same size needles buried in a sweater I had long forgotten about. Because we’ve all been there, and nobody needs three sets of size 10 24″ […]

Smithsonian Craft Show
Like a true crazy stitcher, I decided two days ago that I needed a gray scarf to match the coral dress that I intended to wear to the Smithsonian Craft Show Benefit Dinner. And, given that I am a crazy stitcher, I decided on a pattern that calls for laceweight yarn. So on Monday evening, […]
Rockin events in space!
We have had two amazing Stitch in Space nights here in space. Last week, the DC Rollergirls were at the shop. Micah stayed late to help a few learn to knit and visit with those that are already amazing knitters and crocheters. (He seemed quite delighted to do so). For the second year in a […]
Bethany reports from Rhinebeck
Bethany submitted this report from her first trip to Rhinebeck this year: When I found my way back to knitting in 2010, whenever I was around knitters I kept hearing one word spoken with reverence: Rhinebeck. I soon learned that this was knitter speak for the annual New York Sheep & Wool Festival held at […]
Workshops!
We have had so many amazing workshops this season and so many more in the works. Babs, the artist and genius behind the many colors of Miss Babs Yarns, was here a couple of weeks ago to teach a felted scarf workshop. This was the kind of felting that doesn’t involve knitting, just lots of […]
Teva Durham Improvises in Space
The divine Teva Durham visited fibre space on Sunday to sign her new book, Loop-d-Loop Lace, and teach a unique workshop: lace improvisation. Ten lucky participants learned how to take elements from vintage lace patterns and use them as the basis for a lace bag pattern. The group worked together to develop a pattern for one […]
A Huge Thank You
Last Sunday, we hosted a special event at our shop in honor of one of our own. We had asked you all to donate blanket strips to make a healing blanket for a knitter in our community who is battling cancer. You wouldn’t believe the turn out. We have enough blanket strips for 2, almost […]
So about that festival…
I guess the small incident of food poisoning has kept me from blogging about the GIANT yarn festival that happened the weekend before last. i just realized that I never posted anything about it. We had so few staff able to work that weekend, that I headed up there first thing Saturday morning and spent […]
