What's New: 11.27.11

Much has been noted of late regarding the transformation of stores into the upcoming Holiday season when we haven't even enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with family and/or friends.  While I subscribe to this philosophy it is hard as a knitter to wait until November 26 to start my holiday gift knitting.  We all know that there is NOTHING that is mass produced that can even compare to a hand made gift.  Because hand made gifts shout LOVE. 

I ALSO LOVE holiday music, lights, family, and MOST OF ALL the attitude that comes with a "Happy Thanksgiving" or "Happy Holidays" shared with customers and friendly faces.  I for one, am very happy that the holidays are HERE.  As soon as the turkey gets eaten I may start putting up the tree so I can knit in my living room and enjoy the sparkle of the season.  If holiday gift knitting makes you crazy, pick one or two small projects and you will have lots of time for sharing your craft with those you love.  Need extra time to knit or a bit of help in completing those holiday gifts?  Join Yvonne for Holiday Gift Knitting from 6-8pm December 1 & 15.
