After a whirlwind few weeks, how nice it is to relax a bit, with maybe a cup of tea and peruse an old photo album or ponder times gone by. This week’s colorways are gentle reminders of days of long ago. Vintage, Heirloom, and Hope Chest will have you dreaming of summers past.

Yarn Lounge was a blast last weekend. We are so happy to hear nothing but fun times and good reviews about Florida’s premier fiber event! Over 300 people joined us with projects in tow to meet and greet friends old and new, relax with a brew, and shop the awesome indie dyers, too.

We still have a few super cool black Yarn Lounge souvenir pint glasses to round out your collection. You can still shop, by clicking here to visit the Yarn Lounge website, where you can link to all the amazing indie dyers’ shops. The stunning new Yarn Lounge colorway called In the Groove is still available in the shop for a limited time to celebrate the return of Yarn Lounge. It’s an energetic mix of pinks and purples, bright green and black on a field of white. We think it looks amazing with Berry, Crush It, Limeade and Pomp & Circumstance.

Time flies when you are having fun and Christmas in July is right around the corner! We have so many fun things to celebrate our summer holidays, starting with a Knitmas & Cocoa party at Needleworks, our community crafting space! Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 1st and stay tuned to learn more.

To get us in the holiday spirit we are hosting a Magical Christmas Stocking Make-a-Long for the entire month of July. Get your order in for our Christmas Stocking MAL kits. We’ve put together a winning list of suggested patterns and stunning color combinations. The combos range from the traditional to Christmas re-imagined and we know you’ll love them!

The Super Summer Sweater Make-a-Long is moving right along. You can join Team Carolyn by making the Anker Summer Shirt (or use DK yarn) or Team Michelle by making the Beautifully Basic Tee (or use fingering yarn). It’s not too late to join in all the fun.

June begins Hurricane Season for those who are in storm prone areas. It’s a time when our thoughts turn to storm preparedness and considering what our plans are should a “big one” come our way.

We know they’re coming, you know they’re coming.  Hurricanes make us sweat every year! Now that we’ve entered Hurricane Season 2023, we will prep for them as we do an unwanted guest and hope their stay is short and non-destructive!

But what do yarnies do in the face of crisis? We stitch! Ewe So Prepped,  a hurricane prep box for yarnies, will show up at your home stocked with yarn and other goodies and items you’ll reach for during a storm. We admit, some of the items are a little tongue-in-cheek, but some are truly practical and they’re all fun! And, as you’ve come to expect, included will be a link to some suggested patterns. Select your yarn base and number of hanks and be ready to ride out the storm, or stand in solidarity with those who are. No need to live in hurricane alley to enjoy the box! Yarn, links to suggested patterns and goodies? It’s always a good time!

Speaking of being prepared, Christmas in July is nearly here and we’ve got something super special in store! Plan now to join us for our Magical Christmas Stocking Make-Along! The best way to plan is to get your order in for our Christmas Stocking MAL kits. We’ve put together a winning list of suggested patterns and stunning color combinations. The combos range from the traditional to Christmas re-imagined and we know you’ll love them! Order your kit today so you’ll be all set to go in July to begin stitching up some joy.

We’ve restocked the shop this week with some popular colorways. Check out Journey’s End, Crush It and Berry to get your spring-into-summer fix of gorgeous pinks and blues and our fan-fave Pomp & Circumstance is the perfect foil to provide fabulous contrast.

The Super Summer Sweater Make-a-Long is moving right along. You can join Team Carolyn by making the Anker Summer Shirt or Team Michelle by making the Beautifully Basic Tee. It’s not too late to join in all the fun. Congratulations to our winners last week: Louanne Rudin and Kim Jackson!
