(Early) Seasons Greetings! 

December.  T-minus 25 days.  You've got this!   

We still have a limited re-order of our Sweet Georgia exclusive Leland Blue yarn back in the shop...we'll be adding it to the website over the next few days.  This is a very small order and we know we won't have any more in before the first of the year... if you didn't have the chance in October, or you're running short on a project you've started, please call us this week at (231) 228-2800 to reserve your skein!  


Our little miss was baptized on Friday night...in a gorgeous little handknit bonnet made by Cindy!

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.

As the focus of the biggest online shopping week of the year, Cyber Week, is most likely about the very best deals you can score on Amazon, don't forget to take some hard-earned time out for yourself with a cup of tea and some knitting....and remember that we're always open at woolandhoney.com!

Week Nine: 

Acadia Loop Cowl Kit   

 

Acadia Loop is an easy, one-skein unisex cowl pattern.  It uses The Fibre Company's Acadia, a soft, rustic yarn that has beautiful drape.  Because of the tweed texture of this yarn, the simple stitch pattern of the cowl allows the yarn to take center stage.  The bottom of the cowl uses a knitted hem technique to provide both stability as well as a tailored appearance.  This pattern contains visuals to help guide you on how to do this technique.  Named after both the yarn as well as the famous Acadia National Park's "Park Loop Road," Acadia Loop drapes softly on the neck and is both rustic and comfy at the same time.
