During Sharon Brant’s recent visit she brought along the cutest little softie called Pete.  Pete is the cutest knit reindeer made from Alpaca Cotton.  He’d make a great gift for anyone on your list or a cute addition to anyone’s holiday decorations.

Mazie was anxiously watching me “yarn” this little guy over our Thanksgiving vacation to the west coast.  You can visit him at the shop until she wants him back again.

There is nothing like a gift designed to keep you warm and cozy and these thrummed mitts fit the bill.  The thrumming technique has been a very popular class and workshop around Seed Stitch and we hope to have another one scheduled in our January February class sessions.  Stay tuned.

However, if you’ve done this technique before or a quick book study, then you can tackle these mitts in time for a holiday gift.  The pattern, designed by the talented Helene Driesen, is a Seed Stitch exclusive.

These were made using Lamb’s Pride Bulky and some multi-colored roving from Louet.

We have some great multi-colored roving in the shop and lots of color options in the Lambs Pride Bulky. Swing by and we can help you on your way to the perfect mitss.

Another great gift for your favorite fiber artist — amazing shawl kits from BeSweet and Art Yarns. These guys combined their amazing products to create a show stopper of a shawl.

Everything you need, save for the needles, is included. This is not a budget gift but it is one of the most beautiful. They retail for $75 and we have some amazing colors shown below.

We have limited stock available so please swing by or call the shop to see what we have in and make your purchase early so you don’t miss out. They are like a piece of jewelry.

If you’ve not seen the Know Knits Stitch Markers in the shop yet, make sure you check them out next time you’re at the register.  They are so cute.  I fell in love with mine and promptly wore them around for a week straight.

Wore them around you say? Why yes, they are beautiful sterling stitch markers that come on a great black rubber cord to be worn as a necklace.

These would make a great stocking stuffer or gift for a friend. Check them out.

As we approach the holiday season I’ll be sprinkling in gift giving inspiration.  Some of them will be projects to give as gifts and others will be gifts for the favorite fiber artist in your life.

First up: Opera Gloves!

The Opera Gloves pattern from Mac and Me is perhaps one of our all time favorites.  They fit like no other glove, are comfortable to wear, and an amazingly versatile pattern.

Shown above are two great modifications.  On the left is the full glove, but our Michele made flip finger so she could use her iPod.  On the right are mine where I made them fingerless after the thumb gusset increase.  Soooo many possibilities with this pattern.  The left is made with two skeins of amazing Koigu KPPPM and the right is one skein of Ambiente for the arms and one of semisolid Koigu KPPPM for the body of the hand.

We are also offering a fab class on this project that starts this coming Monday November 9th from 6:30-8:00.  Check the website for more details and call to register.  Margie is an amazing teacher and everyone who has taken one of her classes has been so excited!

Anyone would be lucky to recieve these as a gift.
