We'll be the first to acknowledge it: there are moments when we're brimming with energy, time, and dedication to pour into a project, while other times, we're in the mood for a quick knit or crochet that yields a beautiful finished piece in no time.
Many of us relish the opportunity to create something that allows us to utilize every last bit of our yarn, fabric, floss, or fiber stash. Our goal this year is to help you put these bits and pieces together to create something 'chic'.

Don't forget to check out our FEATURED items this month:
Flexi-flip needles and Purple Heart Crochet hooks.
|
|
|
|
|
addi FlexiFlips allow you to cast-on to an effortless new method of knitting socks, cuffs, hats, and many of other projects which are worked in the round. These specially designed 3.5" tips with 1" cord (21cm) circulars rest comfortably in the hand and act as flexible double pointed needles.

The Purple Heart Crochet Hook is designed to let you crochet for hours in comfort. Made from one piece of solid wood it is very light but strong, while the depth of the recess for your fingers is designed to let you control the hook without having to contract the muscle in your thumb. The hook easily catches yarn and inserts into stitches without causing splitting. The shaft is the same diameter from the throat to the handle so your loops will not widen if you push deeper into the knot. The wood also warms to the heat of your hand and feels very comfortable. Check them out now.

The Magic of Sock Knitting!
Join designer Summer Lee as she talks all about her new book, The Sock Project. Summer will be showing us patterns from the book, and sharing her process for writing and developing the book concept. She’ll also be talking (very enthusiastically!) about why sock knitting is magic. From gaining new skills that you can apply to larger projects, to building confidence in color palette selection, sock knitting truly is a wonderful foundation from which you can build and expand your knitting prowess! Summer will share tips & tricks, and do a little demo focusing on colorwork – one thing that trips many of us up with socks!
Register now! Have a conflict in your schedule? Don't worry we've got you covered. Many of our guests are allowing Zoom recordings of their Chat. Recordings will be available for 1 week after the chat, only to registered attendees.
More books are coming be sure to reserve a copy for yourself now!
