• The Bubble Up Hat from Jenn Gauer in Malabrigo Rasta
• The Sarandi Hat from the Malabrigo Book Fifteen: Time for Hats in Malabrigo Mecha

• We were delighted to get a new box of Blue Q bags! If you need to add some whimsy to your knitting bags, this is definitely the place to look...
• Needles, needles and more needles... We are stocked up! If we don't have the Hiya Hiya needle you are needing for your next project, it will be a miracle!
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• If you are an America's Test Kitchen fan, you should definitely check out their new series "What's Eating Dan"!

• For the font fans out there, we give you not only some amazing paper typographic creations but also a kinetic alphabet to geek out on!
• And finally, if you are looking for a new podcast to try and really love comedy, check out Good One: A Podcast About Jokes.

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:
