Carry your creativity with Erin Lane Bags! Whether you show your fiber fandom with the woolly wonder Sheepleverse, or dive into history with the Curiosities collection, our project bags, totes, and hook and needle organizers are at the ready to keep your hobby happy.

We all have it, we all snicker about it.

Fun Fur.

Whether it’s eyelash, boucle, or just generally furry, it’s hard to find projects for novelty yarn.

With a sweet face, spiraling horns, and delightfully rotund body, Friendsheep by Cate Carter-Evans lets you transform your novelty and textured yarns into sweet, fleecy little friends. Pattern available on Ravelry; more info at infinitetwist.com

Have you ever had to frog because you forgot a step several rows back? Or lost your spot because you dropped your magnet board or lost track with your highlighter tape? Instead of wrestling with paper, use the knitCompanion app. It keeps you on track so you can knit more and frog less. knitCompanion works with ALL your patterns and is available for apple, android and kindle fire devices.

LoLo Body Care, formally Bar-Maids, creates exceptional moisturizers hand-poured by staff who add a good dose of heartfelt love to each one. Most all their supplies are made in the US, and their beeswax sourced from a local farm. Besides quality, the value of their product lies in that they last a very long time and are loved to the very last bit. They built their brand on being eco-friendly and their new packaging rocks. Their customers and customer service are rare and treasured jewels.

On the Needles:(0:30)

Gigi worked on her Drea’s shawl in Oink Pigments. White and "Zoot Soot" stripes, accent border in "Mommy Dearest" red.

She needs to do I-cord bind off.

Jasmin finished the first sleeve of Genevieve’s Christmas Sweater , and is nearly done with the second

sleeve (Oliver Sweater) out of Onyx Fiber Arts DK.

Gigi worked on her pair of Wee Envelope sweaters; the knitting is done for the pink one, the bright green one is done, and Gigi has a third one cast

on (also bright green). The shoulders are done, and the body stitches are picked up.

Jasmin finished a test knit hat for Romi, the Genevieve hat.

Jasmin mentions Project Semicolon.

For hearts and hands: on Christmas, Gigi started an orange Joji Locatelli wrap sweater; she got to the point for the first buttonhole, then started a yellow one, THEN set up a couple of more wrap

sweaters.

Jasmin was talking about soluble waste canvas.

Jasmin suggests Ysolda's buttonhole.

We will be collecting hats (locally) for refugees in New England:
