CLOSED FOR LABOR DAY, MONDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH!!!!

8/31/10

It's official, Saint Paul is the New Minneapolis. Tee Hee. What do you get when you combine the creativity of Vandalia Street Press, home of those beautiful letterpress cards, and the quirkiness of the people at Borealis? A line of T-shirts that will be in later this week. Stay tuned!

8/25/10 Fall is in the air, the State Fair starts tomorrow, which means the Fall crop of Bia Baskets from Ghana are in! It's always so hard to choose from among all the beautiful colors..

8/24/10 New colors and a new yarn from Cherry Tree Hill. We have a limited amount of Fingerpaints which is handpainted to stripe in your favorite sock yarn.

We also got in a new load of Oceania. The colors are great, and we blew through our last shipment in less than a week.

8/20/10 Author Alert! Author Alert! Jot down September 3rd in your calendar for Lorna Miser who will stop in for a book signing on that Friday. Check out our Special Events page and stop in.

Fall was in the air yesterday, I'm not so sure about today. Still, we got in lots of our favorite things yesterday from Frabjious Fibers

8/15/10 I took a trip to Clay Coyote out in Hutchinson yesterday... and you know what that means: The new yarn bowls are here! The new yarn bowls are here! The new yarn bowls are here!

A New Crop of Yarn Bowls

8/11/10 Classes are finally up on the Web! Hey, this is html and tough work, so...

The other news is that our Paca Peds has come back in. For those of you who missed June's Free class called Coyote Argyle scarf, this yarn is really amazing, and does wonderful things. Stop in for a look and the free pattern!

8/5/10 A New Sock Yarn! For all those 'Two-at-a-Time' sock knitters, Skacel has come up with Flying Saucers. It's really pretty neat, you rig up a saucer and knit your two socks at one time and get exact matches. Clever, Hmm?

Flying Saucers!

8/4/10 There is definitely change in the air, as there is at the store. We will work at updating our pages (yes I smell a resolution just as much as you do!)

As a sign of good faith, here is a sample of this month's free class, tonight (wednesday) from 6-8pm.
