time is running out!

little mittensLet's make this quick. You need gifts, we have gifts, gift ideas, supplies, advice, and the most important thing of all, knitting support!

Time to check a few things off your holiday to-do list. Shall we?


1. Gift Certificates. They seem basic, but they are always a hit with knitters. We carry them in many denominations, or we can combine some to get you the perfect amount. This is the perfect gift for you to give your knitting friends or the perfect hint to drop to your children or partner.


2. Sue's Seed Stitch Washcloths. Say it with me: "no more apple themed coffee mugs!" Sue is our resident teacher, and she has designed the perfect alternative to the glass apple paperweight. A chic pair of washcloths paired with a pretty soap make a fabulous present that is low calorie and never needs to be dusted. This is also a fabulous hostess gift when you pair the cloths with a bottle of your favorite bubbly. Come in and get the pattern free with purchase of yarn.


3. Little Mittens. Didn't get to knit for everyone on your list? Maybe you still can. Come in and buy a single skein of fingering weight yarn and turn out a few pair of these cute mitten ornaments. They are a great tree ornament, gift tag, or even thoughtful little gift for the members of your office or your child's teacher. Get the pattern from Pink Argyle.

4. Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. The book is the perfect gift for a knitter, and the projects inside have the potential to round out your entire list: bulky scarves, fast hats, baby bootees, and great ideas for yarn gift decor like pom-poms and tassels.


5. Chic & Cheap Gift Wrap. Try this for a fun way to wrap handmade gifts. Wrap the present in brown butcher paper, parchment, or interesting newspaper like the funnies or pages from local foreign language weekly. Then tie the package shut with a few yards of pretty yarn from your stash. You can add tassels, pom-poms, felted flowers, and i-cord bows to top off your pretty package!
