More About This Year's Patterns

As previously noted, this year's theme is a "quilt" or throw. Each shop will have a pattern for a 12-inch square so you can combine all of the squares to make a quilt. There will be knit AND crochet patterns for these squares.

Each shop also has selected an animal fiber yarn and a plant fiber yarn to use in the pattern. So many options!

Theme for 2009

In years past, we have had exclusive one skein patterns at each store. This year it's a bit different. Each shop will have a pattern for a "quilt" block; you can create your own throw or blanket by combining the squares from each shop. The blocks will be designed for a specific yarn -- actually two yarns: Since many people are sensitive to certain animal fibers, you can choose to knit the entire project from plant or man-made fibers. Each shop will have one of each types of yarn to choose from.
