February - the Month of Love
February, with Valentine's Day as its major holiday - always makes us think of love. But English has such a limited vocabulary for concept of love!! Because as knitters and crocheters we love yarn - deeply and thoroughly! So come in this month and indulge in your love affair with yarn.

This month we have the Take Heart Cowl - a fun and easy pattern in Mosaic knitting. We donate 25% of the proceeds to the American Heart Association. We are also happy to participate with Elevate Fiber Arts in their Outfitter Series! Check out the Sequoia kits we have in stock. And, it is Leap Year! So on leap day we are taking stock of our UFOs and WIPs. Bring them in, go through all of them and decide: finish, rip, or trade.

What's Coming Up

Fri-Sat, Feb 28-29 Leap Day UFO Review and Exchange!
UFO=un-finished object.
WIP=work in progress.
So if you've had some projects in time-out, this is the event for you! Bring your WIPs and UFOs.
Be sure there are no bugs!!
We will go through all of our UFOs and decide... Finish, rip, or trade. If you are going to trade you need the pattern and needle size you are using.

International Women's Day: We celebrate Mon-Sat, March 2 - 7

Every year we celebrate companies that are women run or help women internationally and domestically.
*Each year we partner with From the Mountain, an organization that trains women in Afghanistan how to spin locally grown cashmere. They are paid a living wage and are often head of household.

*Bringing in Alexandra's Art of Yarn hand dyed, hand spun cashmere. Woman owned business and she works with a local spinner to make the yarn.

*Introducing Uneek DK. Urth sources yarn from mills in Turkey that specifically help women and pay them a living wage in Turkey. They plant trees in Africa working against deforestation and reintroducing the art of forest farming successfully taking communities off aid. This largely helps women who are often left behind in villages while men leave for work.

*Introducing Heathered Alpaca from Manos. Manos is a certified Fair Trade company that began as a co op to help women in rural Uruguay and remains so today. This yarn is an expansion into a new fiber, alpaca.
