Who am I kidding, when packing for a week at the beach, it’s the knitting lineup that I’m most concerned with. Sure, I will probably take a book with me, but most of my time will be spent knitting. So for this year’s big family vacation, I am focusing on smaller projects that I can […]
If you have school-aged children, you are probably tracking down Valentine’s Day cards for their classmates or figuring out what prize or candy to send your kid to school with on Valentine’s Day. My #fibrespacetinyhuman is only four, but I’ve already gone through two years of Valentine’s Day with her. I really wanted to find […]

a story about how people with differing views can still find common ground… It seemed like the right time to tell the story of how I first met Yvonne. For years, I have been very active in local city policies, serving on the Government Relations Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, helping protest the commercial […]
I’m hugely active in local politics. I think most of you know that. It’s important to my business and my business community that some of us step up and be engaged.

With every project designed in a worsted weight yarn or heavier this book is […]
ICYMI, we are recruiting members for our Ravellenic Games team! The Ravellenic Games are a way to challenge yourself as a knitter or crocheter, to complete something that would be a feat for you. We cast on during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics (August 5) and then finish our projects by the closing ceremonies […]
Summer is here and nothing satisfies my summer knitting needs more than a brightly colored shawl project. We have this amazing project in the shop right now for you to check out. Waiting for Rain is another fun design by Softsweater Knits. It’s available on Ravelry. We have a nicely restocked wall of Neighborhood […]
With the abundance of Jill Draper Hudson available at the shop right now (thanks to her trunk show over the weekend!), I thought it would be a good time to feature the Tenchi cowl! This design is from the Winter 2015 Issue of Amirisu magazine, but can be downloaded from Ravelry. It is worked from […]
I stumbled across this pattern this AM on the Ravelry “what’s hot” list, and it may just get me knitting again. I’ve been in a slump the last couple of weeks. The pattern is the Rain Outside by Sylvia Bo Bilvia. It uses a combination of lace, short rows and garter stitch to create a […]
