Perfect stocking stuffers

Need some cute little gifts to please the crafty person on your list? We have some great ideas for you!

Here's a super handy item from Nancy's Knit Knacks. There's a reason they call this the Perfect Notion Case--it has separate compartments of various sizes, making it the ideal way to keep your stitch markers, folding scissors, etc., nice and organized. ($5.50 each)

How cute are these tape measures?? And how will you ever decide which one to get?? Better grab several, and keep at least one for yourself. With one of these in your project bag, even the most boring swatch of endless stockinette stitch will become instantly more fun. ($7.00 each)

Knitters or not, everybody will enjoy soothing their chapped winter lips with these delicious lip balms from Crazy Rumors of Kennesaw, GA. ($3.50 each)

Need more suggestions? We'll be glad to help! Stop by and see us 11-6 Tue Wed Fri, 11-5 Sat, 12-5 Sun. And remember, on Thursday we're open until 8 for Knit Nite and holiday potluck. Hope to see you then!

Baby Me Boo for you

Take a look at these lovelies that arrived this week.

This is Baby Me Boo, a wonderfully soft blend of 50% baby alpaca, 30% merino wool, and 20% bamboo. Hand-dyed by the talented artisans at Misti Alpaca, the thick-and-thin construction of Baby Me Boo creates a gorgeous, textured fabric.

When a yarn itself is this beautifully designed, you don't need a complicated pattern to create projects that look fantastic. That makes Baby Me Boo a great choice for beginners who aren't yet ready for a challenging pattern but want to make something that looks fancy, as well as for anyone who needs to crank out some nice gifts without much effort.

Baby Me Boo is listed as a worsted weight yarn that knits up at approximately 4.5 sts/in on a US 7 needle.
