Anyone knitting a Turkey Cozy?
Ergh. Black Friday. I like to pretend the mania doesn’t exist, but word has it, as a store owner, that I’m stoopid for those imaginary ways. So I’ve been back and forth about what to do, if anything, and here’s the plan. Tell me what you love. 
Take yourself over here: http://islandyarncompany.bigcartel.com/ Tell me what your most favorite thing is (yarn and color…gotta be specific) here, tonight before midnight and starting tomorrow it will be on sale until Monday at midnight. The more of you who post, the more things will be on sale (and yes, I’m smooshing the Wednesday sale into the whole thing because I couldn’t possibly come up with 2 different sale ideas for one week.) As always, local peeps….if you let me know that you want to pick up your yarns at the store, I’ll refund your shipping charges.
And in the store on Friday and Saturday, we’ll have some warm spiced cider and cookies so there will be a great place to escape and knit for a bit. And, if you happen to finish something in the store on Friday or Saturday, I just might be able to find a wee prize for you. Time to get those gifts cranking off the needles! Also, come Friday, the FIVE December patterns of the month will be in the store and ready for their head start! One more to write up and photograph, but you can see the other four here: http://www.ravelry.com/designers/victoria-myers
November Pattern of the Month!
Glasurol Stole!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but sometimes lace overtakes me. I never know when its going to happen, or why, but I have found that its best to surrender when the urge comes upon me. The Glasurol Stole was one such product of the lace compulsion.
Happily, this stole also satisfied another urge…the urge to get my needles into some of our new yarn Island Yarn Sol. This yarn is a delight to knit with…a fingering (could be pushed to a sport weight) single ply merino, it’s perfect for lacey projects that you want to be a bit warm as well. Glasurol takes 2 skeins of Island Yarn Sol and the pattern is free through the month of November when you purchase those skeins. This is a pattern and yarn that I know you will love!
If you aren’t local, you can still get this great pattern for free in our kits here!
