Wine Tasting Event Coming Soon!

Knit Happens will be hosting a wine tasting on Saturday, November 8, 2008, from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. in the store. The wines will be supplied by Eagle Castle Winery from Paso Robles California along with appetizers by Jake Siedentop, Personal Chef and Caterer.

We will also be having a 5% discount on all non-sale yarns in the store. We are expecting a large crowd for this event, so in order for us to have some idea of how much wine and food to order, we are asking you to send us a quick email to let us know if you plan to attend. Our email address is on the right side of the blog.

This event is free of charge and we look forward to seeing you there!

New Yarns

Just arrived in the store is more of the Mango Moon Ragg Silk. This has been incredibly popular. Customers are knitting beautiful drop stitch scarves. Check out the gorgeous colors!

Popular as well has been the Feza line of Alp Premier, Alp Light and Dazzle. These are the lovely skeins you may have noticed hanging on display in front of our cash register. We simply cannot keep this yarn in stock! Customers are loving knitting beautiful shawls and scraves with this unique yarn. More of all three of these yarns have been ordered and we expect it to arrive within a week or so.

We have just received another shipment of Cyprus Mohair. This is a wonderfully soft yarn that knits up into a beautiful variegated scarf and is available in several different colorways. Will make a lovely holiday gift!
