Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

In honor of all of our new mohair, we have a promo going. Through November 15, you can either get 3 of our patterns featuring mohair yarn for 50% off OR if you buy a skein of mohair, you get a download code for one of those patterns for free! Buy 2 skeins, get 2 codes, buy 3 skeins, get all 3!
We were so excited to get a restock of some Blue Moon Fiber Arts Super Sparkle! It's Twistedista Dawn's favorite for Turkish Bedsocks - just enough sparkle for fun but not itchy in the least...
It's November and that means 2 new colors from Knitted Wit! Her Sassy Holiday this month is National Sandwich Day for which you get "PBJ" as your colorway. As for HerStory, this month's spotlight is on Alice Waters with the colorway being "Chez Yarn"...
And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

It's Roller Derby Season! Definitely go see a bout if you can...
If you are the type that likes to knock off all of your holiday shopping early, this weekend is the Holiday Food and Gift Festival at the Convention Center. You could be done shopping by Thanksgiving if you are lucky...
