For those who still have last minute Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers to buy, I am open tomorrow until 4 pm for curb side pick up. Next week, I will be open normal hours on Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 am to 6 pm. If you can't make during the hours above, I am pretty flexible so just ask! I will be doing inventory between Christmas and New Years!

New in...Ancient Arts Colour of the Month Ugly Christmas Sweater and Snow in Passion 8!
Have you wondered what Ancient Arts Colour of the Month Ugly Christmas Sweater looks like knit up? Here is their swatch!
This is your chance to knit or crochet your very own stylish sweater or vest and be able to say with a perfectly straight face "but this is my ugly Christmas sweater" over your Zoom parties and festivities. An even better reason to make a sweater with bright and happy colours is that it will make you smile when you wear it in the dark dreary days of January and February.
WIPs
My Stripes! by Andrea Mowry is moving a little slower because I have too many things on my needles and not enough time to knit! I started with Lichen and Lace Rustic Heather Sport yarn leftover from my Sirius sweater by Camilla Vad. Of course, that wasn't enough and I needed more!
I am finished the 4th colour of 25 on my ADVENTuresome Wrap by Ambah O’Brien using a Koigu Advent Kit in Mica!
KNIT GROUP AND GALLERY
The current Knit-Alongs are the Any Sweater / Shawl KAL and the Knit Your Project: the everlasting knit-along to encourage and support you to knit is running from October 1 to December 31, 2020.
Don’t forget to post a pic to the finished object (FO) thread whenever you finish a project during the Knit-Along so that you will be included in the next draw! We will also add the option of posting your finished project to Instagram using the #sue2knitskal so that I can find them!
