It's the most colorful time of the year

I don't know about you, but when I catch that first whiff of fall, all I can think is COLORWORK!

There's just something about the changing seasons that makes me want to sit back with a cup of coffee and several richly colored yarns and make some knitted art. I've started my very own… Continue

New colors of Palette!

Our fall collection is on its way, so expect to see lots of sneak peeks here the next couple of weeks! I thought I would kick off the fall yarn love fest with a photo of new Palette colors. Sure, the weather is just heating up, so wool colorwork is not on the top of most of our lists, but I find it's best to plan early for colorwork projects.… Continue
