...from Wool & Honey!
How do, friends? 

Three weeks in....is that even possible?  There are so many of you participating in the 12 Knits this year--I am so, so impressed.  (That jar of names for the gift certificate contest?  It's getting more full by the moment!)

If you're a first time reader, welcome.  We're glad you're here.  If you've been with us since the beginning, thanks again for your continued support--we wouldn't be here without you!  At Wool & Honey, we believe that the best way to celebrate the holidays is with a handcrafted gift.  Something special--a little slip of a silk scarf, a pair of fuzzy, wooly mitts, a handknit ornament--that with a little time, a little money and a little foresight could become the most treasured gift you give all year.  

Every Friday, you'll receive an email revealing a special pattern we've written--one that we've deemed "do-able" within the course of a week.  These patterns are super simple, and there's a reason  (Well, several.)  You've got kids.  Fall sports.  Dogs.  You're working 40-plus hours a week.  We want you to feel like you can actually get something done during these crazy weeks leading up to the holidays.  With 12 full weeks ahead of us, if you pace yourself and try your best to keep up, you'll have a nice collection of gifts come December 25th.

This year, there are several ways to knit for everyone on your list.  The 12 Knits are being sold as kits--kits complete with yarn, needles, pattern and a Wool & Honey project bag.  You can purchase one for delivery right to your doorstep or you can reserve one for pick-up at the shop  And for those of you who've got a mountain of stash to knit through, we're offering a pattern-only option below as well.  Within 24 hours of your purchase, your pattern will be e-mailed to you in an easy-to-read PDF format that you can save and print as many times as you'd like.  You can make your purchases easily just by clicking on the Paypal buttons below.  Interested in additional color choices?  Call us at (231) 228-2800 for our latest selection--we're sure to have several options you'll love.      

Don't have a Paypal account?  It's super simple, quick and undoubtedly the most secure financial institution online today.  Log on to their website at www.paypal.com to get started--all you need is an email address and a form of payment (credit card or bank account).  And if online transactions still make you a little uneasy, we'll be happy to take your payment information over the phone--call us at (231) 228-2800.

Week Three:
A Cup of Christmas Tea


A Cup of Christmas Tea

What's more cozy than curling up with a ball of yarn, some needles and a cup of tea?  For those of you who know me pretty well, you'll know that over the past few years, I've become quite the tea lover.  While I'd never turn down a really great cup of joe, I start every morning (and follow up with several more throughout the day!) with a cup of green tea.  Keeping my pot warm in its own sort of sweater is the natural next step.

Don't forget: the 12 Knits of Christmas Kits make great gifts for knitters. 
Wrapped up with a pretty bow, the work's done for you--leave the knitting to the recipient!

The warmer weather this week has tempted me to stray from my holiday knitting, but I'm trying my best to be steadfast.  I know it'll pay off in the long run!

Don't forget--I'll also be available for free help and advice on Sunday afternoons from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at the shop.  Bring your 12 Knits and your questions--I'll be sure to have a spot of tea for you!
Best,
