Club Discount and Overflowing Sale Bin!!
One of the most fun benefits of the “Never Enough Yarn” Club is the chance to get first pick at our sales and events. The night before any of these open, we have an early entry night, just for club members. Our Great Adirondack Trunk Show will be the same. Although it officially starts on July 1st, club members will have the chance to come in the evening on June 30th and get first pick of the gorgeous yarns that will be in the store for 2 weeks only.
For one week only, from today, Wednesday June 17 to Wednesday June 24th, you can join the “Never enough Yarn” Club for the earlier introductory rate of $40. For all the details and benefits, click here. With the discount and the loyalty card, this turns out to be a great deal for you serious yarnies. And this is the perfect time to join so that you can get your first pick of Great Adirondack yarns!
Also, in preparing for the Trunk Show (no idea where I’m putting it all!) I’ll be filling the sale bin full this whole week (17th-24th) and it will be 60% off regular price instead of the 50% you are used to. Come on in and see if something strikes your fancy. (By the way…club membership benefits apply to sale yarns as well so you can save a ton in that sale bin this week!)
June Pattern of the Month and Next Knit-a-long!
Mock Socks! Real socks…mock cable! This month’s pattern of the month is a great pattern for those that love the look of cables, but don’t enjoy working cables. The pattern looks lovely in many self-striping yarns as well as semi-solids. On lighter colored yarns, the mock cable gives a lacey almost old-fashioned look and with others gives a beautiful highlight to subtle color variations. The pattern gives size variations for women’s small to large and any length you desire (of course).
This pattern requires just one ball of Lana Grossa Sock Yarn. This pattern is free through the month of June with purchase of suggested yarn.
Knit-a-long update:
Our next knit-a-long will begin on June 18th. We are jumping in and making the JojoLand Swirl Shawl:
It’s beautiful and unique which means many people have already gotten ready for this knit-a-long even before the official mention (that’s this one…by the way!). We may be outside for this one as it’s staying light ’til almost closing time now, so if you have a folding chair, bring it a long. Let’s see how many people shuffling along our little plaza we can weird out….hoards of knitters all knitting the same thing. What’s next? A knitted ufo sighting?
Memorial Day…
We will be open on Monday, Memorial Day but only from 5-8:30. Knit-night is on!
May Pattern of the Month and Sock Knit-a-long!
Available as our free pattern of the month from May 1st to May 31st is this lovely beret! Quick, springy, and light…a perfect project for spring! This beret makes a great addition to your spring wardrobe and is a breeze to make. It requires just one ball of Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool…I actually think you could get 2 whole hats out of the one ball, but I haven’t tried yet. If you have been wanting to try Silky Wool and haven’t, this is a great project to start with. You’ll love how light and airy it is!
This pattern requires just one ball of Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool. This pattern is free through the month of May with purchase of suggested yarn.
Knit-a-long update~

April Pattern of the Month and Lots of News!
Many, many of you have asked for it and here it is. A basic Kid’s Raglan pattern. Worked from the top down, there are no seams in this sweater, making it a quick, enjoyable knit, with hardly any finishing. Just weave in the ends and you are good to go. The pattern features changes for sizes 18 months up to 10/12 and uses Ella Rae Jaspe Wool…a beautiful and soft self patterning yarn.
This pattern requires a minimum of 3 balls of Ella Rae Jaspe Wool (up to 10 for the largest size). This pattern is free through the month of April with purchase of suggested yarn.
Clapotis Knit-along
We’re going to be starting some spring/summer knit-a-longs soon. First up, by popular demand, is the Clapotis. You can get the free pattern on Knitty. Many of us will be using the Blue Heron Metallic Rayon for this project, but you can use many other yarns. Knit-a-longs will be on Thursday nights. Totally free, but we do ask that you use yarn bought at the store for your Clapotis. Free help and lots of fun!
The first Thursday for this knit-a-long will be April 16th (6:30-8:30)…come decompress after tax day! And a new shipment of Blue Heron will be in late next week for you to peruse.

March Pattern of the Month!
This pattern uses a special stitch to overlay one color of Noro on top of another giving the impression of looking through a net to see a gorgeous sunset.

The smaller bag is a great purse size tote and the large bag can be the knitting bag you’ve been waiiting for….big enough to carry a sweater!

This pattern is free through the month of February with purchase of suggested yarn which is 2 balls of Noro Kureyon, Silk Garden or Knit One Crochet Two Paintbox and at least 1 ball of Cascade Lana Grande.
