Shawl Pins
Instead of adding buttons to a jacket, why not use a shawl pin?
These are a sample from a company called Cats & Cobwebs. A shipment just arrived of these amazing, handmade shawl pins. Everytime a shipment arrives we have fun opening the box to see what has come this time.

Why a pink Denise kit?
 Breast cancer strikes often and it strikes close to home. Awareness and education are crucial, but so is research funding. Five dollars from your purchase of this pink Denise kit goes directly and entirely to breast cancer research through the S.D. Ireland fund. Every dollar makes a difference.
As of February 1, $21,385 has been donated.
Pink Denise kits should be in the store by the end of February.

Baby Yarn
 Have you noticed how many babies are being born lately? We have customers in every day who are knitting for a newborn or one on the way.
Tiny Tots from Sirdar is a great baby yarn. It is 100% acrylic that machine washes well. There are 137m on a 50 gram ball and it knits to a double knitting tension which means there are lots of great patterns. The original colours were very 'babyish' but the new colours are great for the modern baby.

The Saturday classes over the past few weeks went well. The kids in the mother/daughter class did great. They learned how to cast on, knit, add a new ball of yarn and felting. My crochet class persevered and they came away with the start of a scarf.
