December at HYS...
Happy Holidays! The snow sorta makes it really feel like Christmastime, doesn’t it? We have lots to share this month, so let’s dive in!
DECEMBER KAL
We considered skipping the KAL this month, what with all the Christmas gift knitting going on, but then we came across this FREE Pattern and decided it would make another great gift idea, even for YOURSELF!
The See My Vest pattern by Emily Bolduan is designed to be super easy, and super quick to knit, making it a great project for beginner garment knitters. With it’s relaxed and comfortable fit you will find yourself reaching for this vest often, and it’s simplicity makes it a fantastic wardrobe staple.
Henny whipped this one out in about three days using Hearthside by Berroco. It’s a chunky weight yarn that comes in all these gorgeous neutrals. And if you’d rather have a pop of color, we have tons of other great yarn choices at the shop. Stop by to grab supplies to make one or several and save 15% with our monthly KAL discount.
SOCKS, SOCKS, SOCKS!
A little sock inspiration to share! And a reminder that our Sock Club meets every Tuesday at 3:30 to knit and chat about all things sock related! Share pattern ideas, learn new heel techniques, etc. Thank you to Cathie for bringing your socks to show off!

Coming in 2025…
Wipe out your WIPs with us!
Back by popular demand, we will be motivating each other to dust off all those WIPs (Works in Progress) and get ‘em done! Want to join in? Great! Go on the hunt for all your unfinished projects and number them 1 to 12. On the first Wednesday of each month we will be drawing a number at knit night and whatever project corresponds with that number is the WIP to tackle that month. What a great way to get your pic on one of our Finished Friday Posts :)
Each year we make room for new samples in the shop by selling a selection of our current store samples. What a great way to add a beautiful handknit garment to your wardrobe without all the work! The sample sale starts on Saturday Decemeber 7 during the Chrismtas in Caledonia celebration and will run through the month of December. Shop early for the best selection!
We are excited to be participating in the Christmas in Caledonia Celebration this year! The evening starts at 4 p.m. on Main St. in Caledonia. Please bring your family, friends and neighbors for an evening of celebration, food, warm fires and festivities!
Santa is arriving and will be available to take photos! The parade of lights starts at 6pm with Santa leading the parade.
Caledonia Dance and Music Center will perform immediately following the parade, allowing Santa to return to the Village Christmas Tree for the ceremonial lighting.
Food trucks will be on site plus wood-burning outdoor fireplaces. Choral and musical groups will be wandering the streets to add to the holiday cheer!
