...from Wool & Honey!
Greetings, knitters! 

December 10th already....how are you doing?  Getting close to meeting your holiday goals?  I hope so!  And for those of who who've fallen short, this week's project might be just up your alley.  (Heck, I knit this quick little pattern last night!)

A little disclaimer about this week's project and the shuffle of things: I'm on my way to Marquette today to watch my youngest sister graduate from college--and receive Northern Michigan University's prestigious Student Teacher of the Year Award.  (So proud of you, Jess!)  Business will continue as usual in the shop (Friday & Saturday, 10-6 and Sunday 12-4), but this week's kit will be mailed on Monday morning and the PDF pattern purchases will be emailed out to you on Sunday when I get back.  For those of you who typically purchase kits for Pick-Up, please make Tracie's life a little easier and bring a copy of your Paypal receipt with you when you stop in.  Thank you for being so helpful and understanding!

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. 


For those of you who've been asking, we can't re-send individual emails, but don't fret--you can catch up on our previous newsletters by clicking on our archives here.

Every Friday, you'll receive an email revealing a special pattern we've written exclusively for the shop--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.
