Happy Monday, knitters!
A happy belated Mother's Day to all of you mothers reading this! This weekly email is a bit delayed because I spent the day yesterday with my two favorite moms; first a breakfast overlooking Glen Lake with my mother-in-law and then a nice afternoon outside with my mom. And of course, there was knitting!
* * * * *
Before we jump right into this week's 30 Under $30, we have an announcement to make....
Mark your calenders, knitters! On Saturday, May 28th from 5-9 p.m., we'll be hosting our annual Memorial Day weekend party. This year is especially sweet for me--it marks my five-year anniversary! So to make things extra-special, we're bringing in an extra-special treat: a trunk-show from the internationally-acclaimed Michigan dyer, Sarah Dimond--more affectionately known as The Plucky Knitter!
Sarah's beautiful yarns are subtle and tonal, perfect for showing off cables and lace, or even acres of stockinette. The yarn bases are comprised of both sturdy workhorse yarns and exquisite blends, typically including merino, silk, cashmere, seacell--her following is so widespread that a typical update will wipe out an entire Etsy shop within minutes! A trunk show is the only place to see and fondle Plucky yarns all together in one place--this is a truly one-of-a-kind event that you'll can't afford to miss.
As we get closer to Memorial Day Weekend, you'll be receiving more information on the evening--stay tuned!

If you're just tuning in for the first time (or you've accidentally deleted your first copies), you can catch up on our previous newsletters here.
Here's a bit more information for those of you who are new to our 30 Projects for $30 (And Under!):
Over the next six weeks, we'll be bringing you ideas for small-scale projects that are affordable, easy-to-knit and that would make lovely gifts for almost anyone on your list. As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, we tend to spend a little less time with our knitting and more time outside. The 30 Projects are perfect for spring knitting--lightweight, small and easy to knit. Even if you only have time for a few rows every night, you don't have to abandon your knitting until fall! We're certain that with 30 projects, there will be something for everyone. We're so excited to share these projects with you--enjoy!
* * * * *
It's really warming up in Northern Michigan--a high today of 68, they say! Morels have been spotted (not by me!), friendly faces stop by every day to say "hi" and most of the spring flowers have sprung. I'm so grateful for these long days and the wonderful sun!
Here's to a week full of warm, springy weather, mushroom hunting and lots of knitting!

Dyed by Adrienne in San Carlos, California, Wool Candy can only be found at five bricks-and-mortar yarn shops across the U.S.--we're thrilled to be one of them! The color is Plum Cake.
