Plied Knowledge: The week that was…
At the warehouse:
- The big story this week is KATRINKLES. We are gearing up for the gift giving season and ordered a bunch of adorable AND useful stuff that you can put on your list or buy for your bestie...
- First up, cedar sachet bags! Help keep your knits safe in the cutest way possible with either the Katrinkles mix of socks, mitts and sweaters OR the Cat-rinkles mix of cats.
- Next is for the sock makers. We now carry the Socks Rule! ruler in both Adult and Kids sizes...
- Remember the cute sew in labels we have been carrying? Now you can get three version of washing instructions - Handwash Dry/Flat, Machine Wash/Dry Flat, Machine Wash/ Machine Dry - each in three different colors! Woot!
- Stitchmarker lovers, we haven't forgotten you! There are now Blue Socks, Pink Socks, and Wooden Sweaters in addition to the Cats...
- Love the Darning Looms but wanted it bigger? You are in luck!
- And finally looking for those looking to trim their tree just so, we have Stitchable Ornaments in three new styles- Brioche Hat, Brioche Mittens and Brioche Sweater...
- Because we can't get enough cute, we restocked our favorite Cat Mesh Laundry bags, too...
- Somehow it is also NOVEMBER which means we have a new Knit 12 Together project! This month is the Falling Leaves Cowl and Scarf from Emily Williams and although we are recommending Malabrigo Rasta, the pattern is written for all weights and multiple lengths. Bonus? Get it free through midnight on Sunday!
