We have so much fun with each of you every day. It is with much joy and happiness that I come to work everyday. I'm a teacher, a counselor and a friend to many of my customers and am rewarded every day that I work. Not many people have the pleasure of having a job that they love, but thankfully I do.

Saturday's hours 1030-4pm and we will be closed on Sunday for Father's Day.

Don't like to take chances, when you get to the register you can decide to take part in the Guarantee of 20% off or chance it to get up to 100% off.
Here's how it works: Our 10-step program
Step one: Grab a basket
Step two: Grab your loot
Step three: Make a beeline to the cash register.
Step four: Wait your turn, I know it's exciting and you can't wait to see what kind of discount you'll get.

We've been Nominated for the A-list

In other news, I've loved the rain today, it's a nice respite from the heat of the weekend. Plus I just planted a small veggie garden so it's perfect that I don't have to do major watering. A win-win I'd say.
New Spring yarns are arriving daily, and I've got a fabulous FREE scarf class that I'll be announcing this week. I'm just finishing the last rows of the scarf and can't wait to wear it in the shop.

Addi Lace Clicks are soon to be in the house!

If you all are anything like me, I was happy that Addi developed their interchangeable system. But I'm a big user of the Addi Lace, so though it was nice, it never really excited me enough to order any for Knitique. Every time I called Skacel to place an order for yarn or their fabulous Addi Lace needles, I'd ask when will the Addi Lace Clicks be available. They weren't sure but they put me on the list. They soon got tired of me asking and low and behold I got an email from Rob this morning letting me know that the Addi Clicks have been developed and they would be expecting an order in April.
So what's so awesome about the clicks:
The addi Lace Click system provides 8 different sizes of addi Lace tips (3.5mm, 3.75mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm), five different lengths of our new, extremely pliable blue cord (16", 20", 24”, 32” and 40”), and one connector piece which helps to either store stitches or combine your cords. The Click tips require no tools to change; simply insert the cord deep into the tip, twist and release. The tips will remain secure until you change them, thanks to the Click’s revolutionary locking mechanism!
For those who use certain needles more than others, you can purchase extra cords and extra needle tips for the sizes you use most frequently. I know when I've been on a trip and I start swatching, it always seems like I don't have the size I need. In this case, I'd just have to trade out the needle tips and start another size.
Starting tomorrow we will be taking preorders for the Addi Lace Click System. A $90.00 deposit will hold your set with the remaining balance due when the sets come in. Due to the limited nature of this product we will not be giving any discounts on these Click Systems.
And if you are worried about what cute case you'll be storing these in. I've found a fabulous Interchangeable Needle Case from Della Q, one of my favorite people to do business with.
Here's a little information on her cases: The case holds 15 tips to allow for the smaller interchangeable sets. Tip pockets are dual numbered! Includes six pockets for your cords and a zip pocket for connectors.US 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 10.75, 11, 13, 15, 17
Metric 2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12
These wonderful cases come in Purple, Seafoam, Ocean, Pink, Green, Brown, Red and Mauve for only $36.00. Be sure to pre-order your case when you order your needles.
If you can't come in tomorrow, you can call us at 916.714.7719 to reserve your set today. They will be arriving they anticipate the middle of April, and I was told, I was one of the first shops to order, so we will definitely get them in the first batch.

For the Love of Knitting

I'm sure you'll notice the calendar is not available on the side bar. We had a computer hard drive crash on our shop's computer instigated by my beautifully talented six year old. We've had it fixed and upgraded but some of the programs we used to put the calendar on the site are still missing. I'm hoping on Tuesday to be able to fix the kinks and have it up here. In the meantime we've got lots of copies at the shop. And if I do say it again, we've outdone ourselves once again. You'll love what we've got planned this month. Fabulous, Fun Classes.
Beware of 6 year olds with an aptitude for pressing multiple buttons at once.

Back to our Regular Scheduled Program

We had an incredible day yesterday, with over a dozen people waiting in line for the doors to open. I know it sounds crazy to some of you, but the New Year's Day Sale is something we all look forward to. What better way to start your day then sitting in your pajamas, enjoying an incredible breakfast feast, and enjoying a Store-wide Sale. The perfect way to start the New Year.
As of today, we will be open our regular hours. Today will be the first day of our Finish your old projects. I've told several of you at the shop that my Knitting New Year's Resolutions is at the beginning of the month, I have to finish one old project then I can start a new one. I've got a perfect first project to finish, slippers for the little boy. I just have one cuff and a sole, maybe an hours worth of knitting, sew then, and felt them when he get back from his Auntie's.
It's a good thing too, because yesterday at the shop we found the perfect "FAST" pattern to knit up a jacket. I want to swatch and get started for the class we will be hosting on Friday nights. Nothing gets me motivated quicker than a super fast project that I can knit in a few days and wear it next week.

Free Holiday Classes


This beautiful scarf is made with a Chunky Alpaca. They call for only 1 skein of Chunky Alpaca, but being a girl with shall we say "Big Girls" I can't have a scarf end resting on my "Girls" so I'm calling this the Two Night Stand. You need 2 skeins of Baby Alpaca Chunky and a size 10 needle. This pattern is nice because they give you both the written directions for the lace work as well as a chart for those who love chart reading.
This Class will be offered on
Saturday: December 26th from 10-12 and 4-6pm
Tuesday: December 29th from 2-4pm
and Thursday: December 31st from 10-12pm
the second class we will be offering is a gorgeous Spiral Rib Hat

This hat is a nice spiral design which is easy to knit with the help of two markers. What I love about the pattern is it works with any yarn. They've done all the math and you just knit a swatch plug in the numbers and voila you've got a pattern. We are making thisout of a thick thin yarn which give both visual and textural interest.
We will be offering this class:
Saturday, December 26 1-3pm
Tuesday, December 29 4-6pm
and Thursday, December 31 1-3pm
