Two weeks down--10 more to go!
Just another reminder to you, friends, that this weekend (Friday, October 25th and Saturday, October 26th is the 2nd Annual Greater Traverse Area Yarn Shop Hop....and we are so excited! We'll have TONS of yarn, patterns, gifts....and a few surprises up our sleeves.
Sasha, 5 1/2 months
And as a little teaser...we'll have Wool & Honey's youngest knitter-in-training at the shop on Friday and Saturday to model next week's project. (They're both so darned cute--Sasha and the project!)

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're so looking forward to catching up with all of you this weekend...the shop hop is going to be a total riot. We'll be here with several ideas, new kits, knitterly gifts and of course TONS of new yarn to inspire you throughout the weekend.
