Hello, friends! 

 

 

Week Three is upon us (already!) and man, does it feel like fall around here.  We've had a bee-you-tee-ful month--it's only right that the temperature is falling a bit.  (Better knitting weather, right?!?)    

 

* * * * * 

 

Fall is a wonderful time to take a class at Wool & Honey--check out our latest schedule on the website here.

 

* * * * * 

 This week's project is kind of a big deal for me--it actually doesn't even involve knitting.  (Gasp!)  Nope.  This week's project is all about bending your mind a bit--crochet meets jewelry meets non-traditional fiber.  If I can do it, friends, you can, too.    

Read on....

* * *For those of you who schedule local pickup for your projects, please note:  one of the crucial components for this week's kit is stuck in transit.  The kits will be available for pickup mid-afternoon Monday.  So sorry for the inconvenience! * * *

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 exclusively for the shop--one that can easily be tackled within the course of a week.  (With a little effort, of course--these projects don't knit themselves!)   

 

These patterns are super simple, even for beginner knitters.  We make it that way because we realize that in addition to your knitting, there's a good chance you've got a few other things to tend to between now and the holidays.  (Ahem!)   

 

Knitting should be fun, not work.  And certainly not stressful.  Most of these projects are One-Skein Wonders-a pretty fantastic way to see light at the end of the knitting tunnel, even when you're elbow-deep in cookie dough.   

 

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.   

 

Good luck, friends!

This year, just like last year, there are several ways to knit for everyone on your list.  The Twelve Knits are being sold as kits--kits complete with yarn, pattern and a Wool & Honey project bag, with the option of adding needles if you need them.  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 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. 

This year, we're thrilled to be selling The Twelve Knits on our shiny new website,  

 www.woolandhoney.com.   

Take a peek around while you're shopping--there's a pretty good chance you'll find something you like!

The Twelve Knits of Christmas:
Week Three


Pearl Cuff


Pearl Cuff

What do you make for your stylish friend who has everything--or the trendy knitter that can make it for herself?  With about two hours and no previous crochet experience, you can easily create a beautiful cuff bracelet with flexible wire and freshwater pearls.  Dress it up with a little black cocktail dress or down with an everyday cardigan and jeans, this simple gift puts a new spin on traditional jewelry.

***There are a limited number of kits available every week. Purchasing your kit early insures you receive the kit in a timely manner. If kits or materials become unavailable or sold out, you will be contacted immediately via email with the options of:

 

1.) a replacement color

2.) a slight delay in shipment due to stock reorder

or

3.) a full refund

 

***We ship all kits for a flat rate of $6.95 within the domestic U.S. via USPS Priority Mail--we know you want your kits as quickly as possible!

 

***Just like all Wool & Honey patterns, The Twelve Knits of Christmas are for personal use only. Knit these fingerless mitts for yourself, your office manager--heck, knit a pair for each of your fifteen closest friends. Please remember, though, that these patterns belong to the shop and are protected by copyright--they are not to be knit for profit. 

But you knew that, right?

We'll be adding more classes in November--including a fun class to correspond with next week's project--just in time for quick holiday ideas.  Have a suggestion?  Email us at [email protected].

And I hope you don't think that just because we've already started The Twelve Knits means you're behind schedule or that you don't have time to make things this year.  You do.  Take a deep breath and start small--we've got plenty of time.  (Just ask the girl who hasn't even started The List!)
