Coming Events

 

October/November KAL

We are casting on Mosaic Mood by designer Cheryl Faust. (But some of you have mentioned an overabundance of shawls, so you may want to cast on the cowl Same but Different or the scarf Embrace the Chill--or any other mosaic pattern, and that's okay!) Mosaic is always fun to knit, and as soon as I saw Mosaic Mood in the gorgeous Amble yarn, I knew it had to get added to my list. And then we decided to dye up some DK weight mini-skeins for Same but Different because why not?! You can see those here!

 

Charity Knitting Month

October has always been our Charity Knitting Month at Yarn It! And this year the need in our community is greater than ever! We are hoping to outdo last year's donations and are calling all knitters and crocheters to help. The greatest needs, we've learned, include hats and mitts for toddlers and children and slippers for men. But the need for blankets, shawls, scarves, and more is also always there. If you drop your hand-made donations off at the store, we'll pass them on to Care4UCreations.ca, and they will distribute everything where they're needed most.

Songbird Trunk Show

We've had Songbird Yarns & Fibre at the store twice before for trunk shows, and we're so excited to host Vicki at our new location on October 28!  She has new yarn bases and weights to bring, too, plus so many new colourways, including several tonals!  As always, Vicki donates $1 from the sale of each skein to bird conservation. This is a yarn purchase you can feel really good about!

Knit a Knocker Nights

Join us the first Wednesday of each month to work on knitting a Knocker for our local hospital. We have kits available and will offer free help on these knit nights. Our next Knit a Knocker Night is October 4.

Our Next Knitting Retreat

It doesn't look as though we'll manage to plan a daylong knitting retreat for summer, but stay tuned for a fall date!
