We're getting ready for the holidays at Knit Picks, but our holiday store mascot elf isn't too happy about it! It seems that we interrupted his extended vacation in Hawaii! Check out his aloha shirt! |

The Knit Picks office is a pretty busy place. We are always working on the catalog, or developing new products. But that doesn't mean that it's all work and no play! I came to work wearing some awesome crocheted slippers that I bought at Last Thursday (an arts festival in Portland on Alberta Street). I love how bright and crazy they are! Stacey wanted to take my picture, and I decided to do a high kick! |

My coworkers and I are so excited that we are finally offering spinning supplies, because we've been crazy about spinning for a long time. I learned how to knit first, and then my love of yarn drove me to try to spin with a drop spindle made out of a cd and a dowel, and later I bought a spinning wheel. Kelley actually learned how to spin before she started knitting. In college, she had a work study job at her college's library, and many of her coworkers were spinners and taught her! Alison is a spinning maniac, bringing in hanks of handspun to the office almost every Monday morning. We all hang out after work for informal craft nights, but we thought it would be fun for everyone to bring their spinning wheels to work so we could gather and spin together! |
