The most frequent question I hear around the shop is "what are you knitting this week?" So, I am going to show you a picture each week of what is on my needles. And to go along with that...whatever I am working on will be 20% off that week! So be sure to check out our website each week, or come by the shop to see what is on the needles!

I am making another baby blanket! I made one like this two weeks ago for a shower and loved it so much I am making another one...big needles (2 sizes), double stranded, worsted weight yarn, two colors, and of course a ruffle to finish it off for the girly version! This is a great quick project for gift giving!

Knitting is a lost art that is coming back again! Passed downs for many generations people often learn to knit from a family member or friend. How did you learn to knit?
