Stitching and Shopping Fun in Cambria

The Mid-Summer Tee MAL wrapped up last Friday. Congratulations to everyone who participated but especially to Susan who completed her Maksi Tee using Uneek Fingering yarn and won the $100 gift certificate!

There are only 2 weeks left until the stitching and shopping fun begins at the Weekend Workshops with Barry Klein event! Join us September 26 - 28, 2025 for a trunk show, wine tasting, workshops, and VIP discount!...there's still plenty of room!

This past week, I re-stocked some of your favorites...Urth yarns and sock kits, Entropy DK yarn, Herriot Great yarn, and your favorite stitch markers from Allstitch Studio.

Goofing with Beverly at the Beach!

Entropy DK and Shift Cowl Kits

We had a lot of fun last week learning to knit the Shift Cowl. And I got in a huge shipment of the Entropy DK yarn by Feederbrook Farm that I used to make the shop sample.

Grab a kit today featuring six different stunning color combos or pick your own 3 color combo. The shop sample is knit using the Luminous Flux, Refraction, and Taproot colorways.

Make a Hat Day is September 15!

I love me some yarnie holidays!

Monday September 15th is National Make a Hat Day! Celebrate by casting on a new hat—or finishing one that’s already on your needles.

We’ve got a wonderful selection of hat samples and beanie kits in the shop made with wonderful yarns! Or if you need some inspiration, I sell books with 10,000 ideas for knit or crochet hats!

And if you don't know how to knit a hat yet, I'm teaching a class in October! Next Steps Knitting: Basic Beanie starts on Oct 20th.

Find your hat knitting inspiration in the 10,000 Knitting Hats book.

I knit Jason's Cashmere Hat using 1 skein of Moonshine #4 Seaside.

Farm & Fiber Knits Fall Issue Has Arrived

Welcome to the Fall 2025 issue of Farm & Fiber Knits—the magazine!

Farm & Fiber Knits magazine premiered a year ago with a focus on fibers, sustainability, and the maker’s life. The magazine contains patterns like other knitting magazines, but it is unique because it aims to help you connect more deeply with your knitting, your creativity, and good things happening in the wider world.

In addition to 10 knitting patterns (sweaters, cardis, wraps, socks, and more, all from talented designers and knitted with thoughtfully chosen natural fibers), there's an article about the long history of sheep and knitting in the Faroe Islands. The issue is packed with great articles, yarn features from around the world, and tutorials.

Learn a New Skill - Join Us for a Class or Workshop

As a result of leaving a few garments in the shop windows for too long, the pieces lost their sparkle! I revived them by over-dyeing them using the Wool Tincture Dye color packs. Bring your own drab garment/yarn to a hands-on over-dyeing workshop.

Here's the complete class/workshop line-up:

• Milestones Vest or Jacket with Barry meets on Sept 27th
• Dot + Colorissimo Striped Triangle with Barry meets on Sept 28th
• Over-dyeing Workshop: Reimagine that Drab Garment/Yarn meets on Oct 11th
• Intarsia Colorwork Knitting - Make Myself Flowers Vest starts on Oct 15th (New Class!)
• Christmas Balls Colorwork Workshop meets on Oct 16th
• Next Steps Knitting: Basic Beanie starts on Oct 20th
• Knitting My Second Sweater starts on Nov 3rd (New Dates!)

Revive that drab garment in the Over-dyeing Workshop!
