Year End Sale

Monday, December 26th, 2011

We are having our Year End SALE on Tuesday, December 27 from 10 am to 8 pm and Wednesday, December 28 from 10 am to 5 pm. 

Are you feeling lucky?  Shop the store and bring your items to the counter.  Then draw a poker chip to determine your savings.  You can save 15%, 20%, or 30% off your purchases.  Terry decided we should throw in a couple of chips that will award you 50% off your total purchase – if you are really lucky! 

In addition, during these 2 days all clearance items are 50% off! 

Consigned felted items and Village Yarn Shop bags are not included in this sale. 

Your bag discount is not valid during the sale.

Come in and shop for new projects for the New Year!  The shop will be closed December 29 through January 2 for inventory.  And thank you in advance, because the more you buy, the less we have to count during inventory!

Toe Up Socks on Magic Loop

Thursday, October 27th, 2011


Have you been thinking about straying away from double points? Curious about knitting socks with one needle? Toe Up is a terrific method and learning magic loop is quite useful. I use it for nearly all of my circular knitting. You will need a 40″ circular needle, size 0-2 (depending on the sock yarn you choose and how tightly you knit) and 400 yards (ish) of sock yarn.
