IDP Yarn Kits

Posted on April 13, 2010 at 11:00am 9 Comments 0 Likes

I love simple shopping. If I buy furniture from IKEA, everything I need to make the table comes right in the box and I add it to my cart with one click - no searching for the right nuts and bolts. Its a complete package.

With the growing popularity of our IDP program, I wanted to bring this same convenience to the hundreds of $1.99 independent designer pattern downloads available, so that you can support your favorite designers and get the same yarn… Continue

Color My World

One advantage your LYS has always had over Knitpicks.com is ease of browsing. Just walk in the door and your eyes scan all the different colors they have to offer. Maybe one or two jumps out and catches your eye.

I made a pretty large one.... and I was signed in but, when I finished and clicked on my wish list it said it was empty. Has anyone else had a problem? If you are the incorrect person to tell please inform me of who to let know. Thank you. Martha

I entered 'wallaby' into the 'search' box thinking it would bring up all the yarns you carry in that color. It didn't bring up anything. I would like that option. Thanks for reading!!

Thanks for reading this!

But read my post -- my friend Keiran was the guy who told me to quit knitting scarves and make something memorable!
