mike & auggie are like two peas in a pod. here they are posing ever so sweetly on one of our morning hikes. it’s been incredibly beautiful here in the cove (crisp air, blue skies)…this place is magic. it really is.

maybe you’re one of the more than 250,000 people who have already discovered ravelry.com, but if not, and you are a knitter or crocheter (or aspire to be)- you have to check it out. you can search for patterns, upload your projects, check out other projects or just get inspired. tell your boss you are doing very important research.

we just received a fresh batch of blue sky yarns including our best-selling, quick-knitting bulky and we’ve just added blue sky’s suri merino and brushed suri as well. in store now & online soon. scrumptious!

our next drop-in knit night is scheduled for tuesday, jan 27th from 6-9. you can drop in anytime, it’s free and it’s fun!

i saw this pattern for the 11th hour scarf on the blue sky website and it’s from manhattan’s purl bee: http://www.purlbee.com/bulky-knit-scarf/ check it out! purl soho and purl patchwork are sister stores, one sells yarn and one sells yummy fabrics…ahhhhh….yarn & fabrics…

happy new year everyone! we are digging ourselves out from the snow here in vancouver. also getting back into the swing of things at the shop after being closed for almost 2 weeks over the holidays. we had a great time in oregon with my brother and family and we have BIG news! we found a new friend! rather, a new friend found us (more on that later, let’s just say it was meant to be)…he is a big sweetie puff and auggie and mike spent the whole day at the shop with me yesterday and made lots of new friends. woof!

meet mike!
