B-I-N-G-O!

Summer can be a hard time for some knitters to stay motivated so we've decided to liven things up with some knitting bingo! Okay, maybe bingo doesn't sound like the most exciting activity around, but with The Flaming Ice Cube Bingo you will be trying/perfecting new techniques in knitting and working your way towards gift cards and prizes! When you come in to pick up your card, you'll be given a rules handout and all the info.

So stop by The Flaming Ice Cube to pick up your bingo card and let the knitting begin! We look froward to seeing you and hearing you shout "BINGO!"

Rylie is back in stock!

Rylie is the yarn used in Michelle Hunter's last kal, the Hole Story, that we sold out of immediately. It has been on back order for month's. Once you feel it, you'll know why! This lightweight luxury yarn is a transeasonal wonder. Lusciously soft baby alpaca is enriched with the elegant drape and gleam of mulberry silk and the rustic tactile appeal of linen. Dyed in soft pastels, beachy brights and glowing neutrals, Rylie is ravishing.
