Easter Stitch Markers Have Arrived!


If you've taken any classes from us, you've probably heard us say, there's no such thing as too many stitch markers. Stitch markers are useful for keeping track of your pattern, so that even intricate patterns become "easy peasy." Best of all, stitch markers don't have to be boring plastic rings. They can be stunning works of art like the new Easter markers from Figgy 15. These fabulous markers will dress up your knitting while helping you stay on track. Stop by today to pick up a set or two. They're selling out fast!

Not local? Give us a call at (916) 714-7719 to order yours. We ship daily.

Create your own Wearable Art Necklace with designer Maggie Dykzeul


We love inviting incredible designers to teach classes at our boutique. This month we have the amazing Maggie Dykzeul of Figgy15 on our roster. She’ll be teaching you how to make a wearable work of art using only basic crochet skills. This piece is sure to have all your friends asking “Where did you buy that?” They’ll never believe it when you say you made it yourself. Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime class. Be sure to give us a call and RSVP. Spaces are limited and selling out fast! (916) 714-7719

So, who is Maggie? You’ve likely seen her Figgy15 markers at our boutique, but that’s only part of who she is. Maggie was not only lucky enough to have a grandmother who taught her to knit, but also started making her own jewelry as a child. That passion turned into a career in 2005 with the launch of her Figgy15 jewelry and stitch markers. Her lines have been carried in numerous boutiques, and her designs have been featured multiple times in the national publication of Jewelry Affaire magazine. A big advocate for lifetime learning, and the arts, she believes everyone is at their best when they find something that gives them creative joy. We’ve known Maggie for years, and know you’ll love her just as much as we do.
