We all just love Rachel's new Ripple Effect Shawl!!! It was released just last weekend and has caused quite a stir here in the shop and on Ravelry! It comes with any of our Tosh Merino Light or Dandelion Bouquets, but the pattern can also be purchased individually from Ravelry too.   There are so many options for color combinations that I just can't decide which one I want to make for myself!  I've put together some awesome combinations in Tosh Merino Light, but they are all so pretty!  Which do you think I should pick? A - Mimosa, Moorland, & Nectar B - Chicory, Fog, & Kale C - Envy, Leaf, & Fathom D - Parchment, Antler, & Alabaster E - Plaid Blanket, Leaf, & Glazed Pecan F - Robin's Nest, Ginger, & Robin's Egg G - Sigrid, Nutmeg,...

Hi everyone, and welcome! We hope you’ll join us for this year’s MKAL! It’s going to be SO much fun, I can hardly wait to get started! Here are the details for this year’s Game of Thrones Mystery KAL: The MKAL will begin on Sunday, May 4th and run for 6 weeks (through the end of Season 4 of Game of Thrones.) We will be knitting a lace shawl inspired by Daenerys Targaryen! The mystery is in the design… The recommended yarn is 2 skeins of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock and we are using the Limited Edition color “Fire and Blood” (avail. 4/25.) Lorna’s Laces Solemate is also a great substitute, and as usual, you are welcome to use ANY fingering weight yarn of your choosing. You are never required to buy yarn from us to participate in one of our KALs. Anyone is welcome!   The...

Hi! Leanne here! This past January at TNNA I had the honor of meeting legendary designer Cat Bordhi at the Frog Tree Yarn booth where she was plugging her latest book, The Art of Felfs. After chatting for only a few minutes, we had brainstormed half a dozen ways to get Felfs onto feet of all shapes and sizes across the globe. But it's not just about creating a Felf-craze (although let's face it, a world where everyone wears felted elf slippers would be AWESOME). Cat is donating ALL of the proceeds of this e-book to research that is being done to cure cancer. That is no small feat, and we jumped at the chance to become part of Cat's effort in helping to fund this potentially life-saving research. While the book is available only as an e-book (which can be purchased on Ravelry or Cat's website),...
