Thank you to all the crafters who came out to Sweet Yarns for Knit in Public Day. It was a lovely time on our sidewalk until the rain decided to start and the wind was blowing it on us. The ladies all look serious but I promise they were having fun. So much fun in fact that someone left their chair behind. 😆

TIME CHANGE FOR TOMORROW

I have to take the bus again tomorrow (van should be on the road next week) which means I won’t get to the store until 10:25AM. So, we’re starting our Knit In Public Day fun at 10:30 when I open the store. If you show up earlier, don’t be surprised by the lights being out. 😉

Make sure to bring a lawn chair if you can. I do have a few folding chairs we can also use.

I know it’s called Knit In Public Day but crocheters are welcome to join us too.

See you tomorrow!

Sock ideas on Ravelry 🧦

Have you casted on any socks yet? I was perusing Ravelry last week prepping for Knots & Thoughts when I came across some super fun new sock patterns. Thought I would share them here too.

Pictured are:
🧦 Fruity Socks by Kremke Designs
🧦 Cock-A-Hoop Socks by Nancy Wheeler
🧦 Pinwheel Socks by Summer Lee
🧦 Slow Down Tortoise Socks by Stone Knits
🧦 Tiny Bits Socks by The Playful Knitter

To add in pops of colour or do colourwork, these sock patterns would require leftovers or mini skeins. Naughton Yarns has a great selection of her solid colourways in mini versions currently in stock at Sweet Yarns. (We also have a jar of smaller leftovers that you could also use.) I’ve got one of Valerie’s greens in my turtle socks I’m working on. There is also a plethora of full skeins in gorgeous colourways to choose from as well.

Any socks you complete this month can be counted in both our Sock-A-Palooza competition and Small Project Summer Bingo. And make sure you are sharing any and all projects you’re working on this Summer in our Sweet Yarnies’ group on Facebook. It’s inspiring to see what everyone is working on.

Make sure to join in the fun from wherever you are this Summer and don’t leave your crafting behind.

Come hang out with your fibre friends this week!

SPECIAL HOURS THIS WEEK ONLY!! ⏰

Our monthly Makers Meet Up happens is this week. Because of this, there’s a change in hours. Both Wednesday and Thursday will be later hours.

Knitters and crocheters of all levels are welcome at our Makers Meet Up on Wednesday night. If you'd like to join in the fun, message me to reserve a spot.

Can’t make it Wednesday night? Join in our other weekly crafting events on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Saturday is going to be extra special with our Knit In Public Day session happening first thing in the morning. Grab a lawn chair and a project (crochet is also welcome) and come join us. We’ll be hanging out on the sidewalk in front of the store.

See you soon!

Sock-A-Palooza 🧦

It's time!! May is almost over which means our fun sock competition is about to begin.

Today and tomorrow, take some time to share your sock WIP in our Sweet Yarnies group.

Remember to post:
🧶 the group you are in
🧶 the pattern you are using
🧶 the yarn you are using

One WIP entry per participant. WIP needs to be less than half done (no gussets, no heels).

If you have any questions, you can check out all the Sock-A-Palooza info on the website or send me a message.

I can't wait to see how many socks we can get made.
