August at HYS...

August KAL

Summer is in full swing, but it’s not too early to start thinking about SWEATER WEATHER! And we had that in mind when we picked the Knit-a-Long for this month. Introducing STELLA by Jared Flood - a simple garter stitch pullover with two sleeve options - knit on size US11 needles for a quick knit project.

Henny first made one with a cotton yarn - perfect for chilly evenings on the boat or Michigan beaches. It has been so popular at the shop that we wondered what a wooly version would be like and Henny whipped up one of those too! The cropped and boxy silhouette is looking great on everyone who tries it on. So fun to style it with highwaisted pants or over dresses…

So you get to decide this month - Cool in cotton? Or warm and wooly? We have so many great options for you to choose from. Stop by the shop to check out the sample sweaters and get some help selecting your yarn. You’ll save 15% on all your supplies with our KAL discount.

 

Coming in September…. CROCHEMBER!

Who loves their grannies? Look around any boutique or clothing store and you’ll see the humble granny square popping up on everything from sweaters and tank tops to tote bags and fanny packs. And we are here for it! In fact, we have decided to make September all about GRANNY SQUARES.

Crochet curious? Call or stop by the shop to sign up for a lesson and learn a few basic stitches. We offer one on one lessons for $10 per hour.

Already know a few crochet stitches, but have never made a granny square? Stop by anytime on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and Henny will give you a quick tutorial for FREE!
