It's Girls Night Out with the Ellensburg Downtown Association and our neighboring business friends, and we hope you'll come out for a fun night of shopping!
Here's what's happening at Yarn Folk:
Shire Shenanigans will be here for a pop-up with her custom needle minders for cross-stitch & embroidery, and cover minders for diamond painting. (If you're not local, you can take a peek at her work here.)
We will have all embroidery kits on sale at 20% off!
Need a cute photo in your crochet or knit items? We'll have a festive backdrop set up for photos.
And we will have an in-store raffle!
Check in at Hotel Windrow for your event map and shopping bingo card.

…new in the shop
Due to a delivery delay, we have some additional fabrics in the Cerulean Orchid project bags we have been featuring. These are beautifully made bags, with bottom sections made from a durable and substantial cork fabric, and they are sized for a 2-3 skein project. Elevate your gift stitching, or drop a hint to someone who wants a special idea for you!
I've been seeing lots of hoods and balaclavas on Instagram lately, and I think it's only a matter of time before I cast one on--the ability to turn anything you wear into a hoodie? Yes, please.
The crochet pattern above is the Highland Peaks Balaclava, from Two of Wands. You can find more options (both crochet and knit) on Ravelry here.

Who even am I? Making a scarf two weeks in a row? And not mad about it at all? Normally, making long rectangular things is a recipe for massive amounts of complaining for the last half of the project. (At least.)
For this one, I am working from the (free) Melded Scarf pattern, but I'm altering the directions to use four colors instead of two. (If you're interested in doing the same, I'll have directions for making the changes shortly. I'm using four balls of Berroco's Millstone Tweed. I'm using a deep brown, a lighter grey, and two blues for an earth-and-sky vibe, but I think it would also be stunning in the bright solids of Merino 401. Stay tuned. Even though I just started this a few days ago, I think it will be done by next week--I can't keep my hands off it!
