Sweater Knit Along

cardigan

Hey Knitters? Does anyone want to do a sweater knit along? Three of us are doing the Stonecutters Cardigan. Does anyone want to do a knitalong? Let me know soon if you are interested so I can order more yarn in the Blackstone tweed ($9.95/50gm) colour of your choice.

Other yarn options are available for other budgets, animal fibre sensitivities, and wash-ability. Just let us know and we can suggest some alternatives.

A 10% discount for purchase of the entire yarn needed for this project applies. I can also ship the yarn if people wish to knit with us remotely. We can share on the blog and Ravelry group.

Cheers!

Online store is back for the most part

Hello friends the online store, woolisnotenoughonline.com is back up and running sort of.

We have had some trouble with the connection between the bricks and mortar POS software and the shopify software. But we have mostly got it back up and running now. Some pictures are missing, but they will be back soon and we will continue to add more products.

Just remember all online yarns and numbers are available in store, but not all in store yarns are on line yet. If you want to buy other yarns listed on my Regular store site just email me at shoshanaknits@gmail.com to find out the stock, and I can sell them to you over the phone if I have them and ship them out for the same $10 flat rate.

No more PST discount: All Yarn 7% off until March 31st

nohst

Well friends, as you know, yarn and books in British Columbia are not subject to Provincial Sales Tax. So beginning today, all regular priced yarn, books and patterns are 7% off until March 31st when the PST portion of the HST is eliminated. Then of course all yarn will be 7% less by law.

I do actually have to charge HST 12% until March 31st, so you will still see it on your bill. But the discount takes away the provincial portion.

Newly Discounted this week:

50% off bin Pear Tree 8 Ply
20% off Berroco Boboli Quick.
Noro Odori and Wadaiko are now in the 30% off section until they are gone.

I must admit, the Italians are still more stylish even when being ludicrous.
