We'll be on hand to help you start (or finish!) some of your Christmas gifts. We'll be snug and cozy in the shop, knitting ALL weekend, with good, local, strong coffee and homemade treats to make you feel right at home. (Hey, if you want to wear your pjs while you're sitting here on our couches, you're our guests--we don't judge!)
You know how much we love hand knit gifts.
Love them. It's why we created the
12 Knits of Christmas, way back in 2008. Christmas is the (un)official culminating event for knitters worldwide--it's what we
live for. But. We realize that for a variety of circumstances (time and desire,
ahem,) you may not be knitting for everyone on your list.
That's also where we come in.
This season, more than any other year, we're partnering with several independent, like-minded vendors to bring you gorgeous gifts that go hand-in-hand with knitting. We're always on the lookout for gifts that are a joy to give and fit a wide range of budgets--and sweet delights you won't be able to find anywhere else. Earl Grey Tea lip balm, anyone?
Over the next few weeks, we'll be giving you little snippets and sneak peeks, but the big reveal will be no earlier than Thanksgiving weekend--we're saving ALL of the goodies (and there are a TON) until you walk in the door on Friday morning.
Intrigued? Here's a little hint....
Formulary 55 shea butter guest soaps.
Hands down, these are my favorite soap of all time. Period. I've been giving these as gifts for years and we are thrilled to finally be carrying them in the shop. We've ordered six holiday-themed scents that are so heady, so exquisitely wrapped, so amazing, we know they're going to be new favorites of yours, too.
Michigan cards from Lief Designs.
Newlywed Emilie is a Grand Rapids-based designer who specializes in hand-lettering and fine crafts--we are over the moon about these calligraphy letterpress cards.
And of course, there will be yarn. Crazy, beautiful, luxurious yarn that will knit up into holiday gifts your friends and family will remember. We'll be restocking (heavily) some of our perennial favorites and bringing in some brand new beauties we can't wait to show you. Maybe we're being a little dramatic, but we think it's going to be epic.
This is a weekend meant for relaxation and inspiration.
We hope you'll join us--it'll be a weekend you can't afford to miss.
