We Love You Dolly

Last Tuesday, the world suffered a great loss with the passing of Dolly Rebecca Parton.

The New York Times wrote a wonderful article detailing her life. I learned so much about her early life, her artistic accomplishments, and her humanitarian achievements. She was a role model human being!

We've been enjoying Dolly's tracks all week in the shop. I can never hear too much of "I Will Always Love You" and "Islands in the Stream."

To celebrate Dolly's Sparkly Style, all Sparkle Yarns are Discounted by 20%. Enter the code LOVE4DOLLY...now thru 9/25!

Introducing the Autumn Vest MAL

Summer has flown by! In September, we will welcome the new season with an Autumn Vest Make-A-Long!

Not interested in making sleeves...then an Autumn Vest MAL could be the perfect next project for you! The MAL is all about making something you'll adore, with no long sleeves standing between you and the finish line. Autumn Vests are also the perfect layering piece as the days get cooler!

Here’s how the MAL works…to join the fun, select a vest/slipover to knit or crochet. If you purchase the yarn at the shop or online, we will gift you the pattern! But you're welcome to use whatever yarn you love and want to work with! Check out my Autumn Vest completed projects on Ravelry for some ideas!

Cast on your vest starting September 25th and complete it by November 6th to be included in the prize drawing for a $100 Gift Card!
