We look forward to seeing you soon.

Holiday Trunk Show

Our favorite local jewelery designer Adrienne Gosbee of Salt & Honey will be bringing her beautiful work back to the shop on Saturday November 16th for an exclusive Trunk Show. 

Her beautiful designs are the hit of Boulder's Firefly Market.  She is offering us a sneak peak of her newest creations, so that you can have the first choice of her work as you start your holiday shopping.  We hope that you can join us for her show and treat yourself, or someone on your holiday gift list, to something special.

Holiday Knitting

It is hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us again.  We have all kinds of great project ideas for fun holiday gifts that will be a pleasure to knit.

This month's project is Rikke, a casual slouch hat designed by Sarah Young.  This garter stitch hat is a quick knit and a perfect gift for just about everyone on your list.  It can be knit up with a single skein of madelinetosh Merino DK.  We have a stunning selection of colors in stock right now, and the pattern is a FREE ravelry download!  If you'd prefer to pick up a copy in the shop, the pattern and yarn is just $24.

For those of you that haven't tried knitting hats, we have an introductory class designed just for you.  Join Julie C. for two sessions in which you will learn pattern reading, working in the round, a fun technique that can help you knit garter stitch in the round, and shaping.  During your first evening, you’ll walk through the pattern and get cast on for your hat.  You’ll have some homework to do, because during the second class, you’ll learn shaping techniques and how to decrease within pattern.  Time permitting, you’ll finish your hat and have a beautiful slouchy accessory to wear home!  Call us as soon as possible to register!

Be sure to check our blog next month for details about our next holiday kit, as we introduce them at the beginning of each month.

Kate Jackson Trunk Show


Kate Jackson is a terrific designer with some beautiful patterns to her name.  The hat above is her Cobblestone Beret that was published in her Sunday Drive Collection.  Kristin knit this up with a single skein of shop favorite: Columbia by Imperial Stock Ranch.

We are pleased to host a trunk show of Kate Jackson samples.  These knits will be in the shop for a limited time in the middle of the month.  We hope that you can stop in to take a look at them before they move on.
