Don’t Kelley’s mitten videos make you feel a little like you’re in a choose your own adventure novel? They’re so much fun! Some of you have already seen this video on YouTube, but for everyone else…

Cyber Monday update
by on April 7, 2011

Good morning! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! Alisha posted last week to let you know we were going to be having our first ever Cyber Monday sale today. The sale is on!

Podcast Episode 41: The Many Shapes of Shawls
by on April 7, 2011

Lace shawls come in several shapes. These shapes aren’t just a question of fashion. Some are easier to knit while traveling and some are easier to knit because they are long strips of repeated lace patterns. Before you choose your lace project be sure to think about your knitting surroundings (traveling or staying home) and how you would like to use your finished shawl.
