Happy Valentine’s Day. Hope your sweetie remembered you in a special way, and I’m sure that some of those sweeties were lucky enough to receive some kind of knitted goody as an I Love You gift. I’m thinking of how lucky the gift getter would feel to get a pair of hand knitted socks. This past week as Adrienne and I trudged into the shop to shovel the sidewalk I was reminded of how much I love a pair of wool socks, especially ones that I have knitted myself.

There is plenty of time to get some done before the end of this cold, wet winter. Check out the classes page for a listing of the sock workshops that are scheduled for the next 2 months.

Once you have decided on a class, be sure to run to the store before the end of Feb. Right now we are having our annual 20% off yarn end of winter sale. That’s right, all the yarn in the store is on sale for 10% off the original price. Some of the yarns we have even marked down 30- 40% off. The new cottons are starting to arrive and we need room of the shelves. This sale runs through the end of Feb, but don’t wait too long or that yarn you have been eyeing won’t be left in the bin.

This weekend is definitely a big one for NewEnglanders. What a match between the Patriots and the Giants. You know by now that I am a diehard Patriots fan; I hope to be curled up on the couch knitting some simple stst while I watch and cheer the Patriots onto their 4th Super Bowl win. Check out the Patriots sweater in the window. I am hopeful that I will have to suplicate stitch the year 08 onto the sleeve of that sweater on Mon morning.

In celebration of this truly American annual event we are looking forward to the excitement of our 6th Super Bowl Sale. From 1pm-5pm on Sunday, Feb. 3rd all the in stock yarn will be 30% off. Yes, I said 30% off. This sale applies to all the yarn in the store, no special orders or layaways. This is the day to buy that beautiful cashmere or silk yarn that you have been eying for several months. Be sure to get here early so that you will have first pick. See you in the yarn bins, Linda
