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 hand knit ornament--that with a little time, a little money and a little foresight could become the most treasured gift you give all year.
Every weekend between now and December 25th, you'll receive an email revealing a special pattern we're featuring at 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 any other accoutrements, 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 36 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've added plenty of other kits (and yarn, patterns, needles and gifts, too!) to our website,
www.woolandhoney.com.
Take a peek around while you're shopping--there's a pretty good chance you'll find something you can't live without!
Orders over $75 always ship FREE.

We'll be releasing our fall class schedule next weekend, as well as giving you all the details about our weekend workshop on Saturday, November 2nd....stay tuned for more info.
The colors are gorgeous in and around Leelanau County...we have a feeling next weekend might be peak. Maybe that's the extra hint you need to get in your car for a leaf-peeping tour...one that includes picking out a new knitting project for yourself from Wool & Honey!
