Monday August 6th

Just a few announcements. We are going to be out of town this coming weekend so any orders placed Thursday though Monday will be shipped out on Tuesday. Just a short delay!! All emails will be answered though!!

We just got some new Sock Bugs and Baby Bugs in. I just always marvel at the fabric that Diana finds for these bugs. They are just gorgeous and make me want to learn to sew! I want pajama pants from this fabric:

If you don't have a Sock Bug or Baby Bug, you really are missing out. They are the most unusual little knitting bags, notion bags. Each Sock Bug has space for two baby bugs to clip on and there are little pockets for your tape measure, scizzors, etc.

We are having a sale all month on the yarn that goes with the Sunshine Tank pattern. The yarn is Yarn Botanika Radiance Merino and Tencel and it comes in a number of gorgeous handpainted colors. Some people seem to think that tencel is like acrylic and this is not the case at all! It is a very soft and breathable fiber and it adds a soft silky shine to the yarn. It is actually a very "eco-friendly" yarn made from wood pulp. Two skeins of Radiance also make a beautiful shawl, and one pair make great socks. We even have a free sock pattern that you get for purchasing just one skein of Radiance.

Use the discount code SUNSHINE to get 10% off the Radiance yarn for the month of August.
