Unexpected Colors - Newsletter, 12/7/21

by Ellen

Walking quietly in the wood -- or as quiet as a carpet of crinkly leaves will allow. The trees are mostly bare; the undergrowth has died down as well.

And then, all of a sudden, a pop of almost-fluorescent green! As if the moss has a special mission to remind us of color all through the gray months.

Sometimes you have to really look to see colors and sometimes they just jump out at you.

For all of this week (and as often as you'd like), use this coupon code for free shipping (US only) for any order $60 or above: color-color-color

We have some marvelous new finds we would like to share with you.

Lapland Lace Socks: Kits

From the genius needles of Svetlana Gordon, these socks are simply awesome. How could we resist?

We are always on the look-out for new designs and especially ones with beads. This is perfect for the holiday season -- a quick knit for gifting or for making for yourself. Talk about holiday cheer that will last throughout the wintertime!

Check this out!

Snowman Socks: Kits

This one makes me smile each time I look at it!

And what I especially like is that these socks don't lose their "meaning" after the holiday season is over. Perfect for snuggling into throughout the colder months....

Come see!

Color Morph: Kits

This wrap is a marvelous creation of colors melding and morphing with long color run yarns. We chose different colorways of basically the same yarns as the ones the designer used (hers is shown here) -- our web page shows you the colors we picked out.

For our kits, we used a special Zauberball which is a special limited edition with hemp as part of the fiber content.

Come look!

Boa: Novelty Yarn (Chunky)

This is a really pretty quirky yarn that is a delight to knit (or crochet) and would make for great quick gifts.

I could see a garter stitch scarf (super-easy), a cuff for a pair of mittens, a head band, or a brim of a hat.

Soft and delicious, and great fun to work with.

Nectar: New MKAL with Lily Go

I am always very flattered when Lily asks me to put together some kits for an upcoming MKAL.

All I know is that this will be a beaded cowl and we worked with Lily to come up with some special kits.

Though it technically starts December 8th, don't let that deter you. These Mystery Knit Alongs are set up so you can join in at almost any time.
Learn all about it!

Some kits we thought you'd enjoy exploring again....

When you have time, come take a look at our What's New pages -- sometimes things just don't make it to the newsletter and you could find something that really sings to you.

Also check out our Specials pages as they change often.

We are still continuing our Pay-It-Forward game. Details can be found on our home page. All you need is tell me you want a gift skein anytime you place an order that is $50 or more.

We also have some special Wonder Bags as well as our Chromatic Grab Bags. Designed to spark your imagination!

Can you see the rainbow?
