| Final GoT MKAL, more Malabrigo & discontinued Tosh Madelinetosh: Get it before it's gone... forever! | | |
The final season of Game of Thrones is almost here, and we couldn't be more excited! Finally, we will find out who (or what?!) will claim the Iron Throne, and in honor of what will surely be an epic final battle, we have decided to revive the past Lorna's Laces Limited Edition colors!
|
While the characters on the show might be a little polarizing, the gorgeous Lorna's Laces colors certainly are not! This time they have created a splattershot version of each of the five previous colors, which are perfectly packaged into a String Quintet. Beginning with the icy shades of "Beyond the Wall", followed by the muted blues of "Winter is Coming", and then the crisp greens of "Queen of Thorns", the string quintet then transitions to the vibrant reds and oranges of "Fire and Blood" and finishes with the deeper reds of "Casterly Rock".

And, of course, GoT super fan and designer Rachel Roden of Unraveled Designs has whipped up an amazing shawl design that uses all of those speckled minis to perfection! Paired with a solid main color, and using advanced beginner mosaic color work, this year's MKAL is great for TV knitting, but also has some more intricate spots to keep your interest piqued! Not into the mystery so much? We created a spoiler page for you to check out what the shawl looks like before committing! The MKAL begins Sunday April 14th, and Rachel will release a clue every Sunday for 4 weeks, so mark your calendars, Kings and Queens!

If you've placed an order with us in the last week, some of you might have noticed that an eggs-tra special item hitched a ride with your yarn! The Jimmy Beans Bunny has filled 1,000 Easter Eggs with stitch markers, and has been randomly sprinkling them into your orders. There's still a $100.00 gift card out there, so be sure to check your next order carefully for an egg-citing surprise - these little eggs will continue to appear in random orders through April 12th!

Koigu Collector's Club!
Bust out your beach towels and slather on the sunscreen because Koigu's latest Collector's Club was inspired by the beach! Their newest hue is a mixture of bright blues and appropriately named, Ocean. This yarn is sure to give you a wave of inspiration! The catch? Once these sell out, they are gone for good! Surf's up, dudes!

We Likey Mikey!
|
Who's the knottiest crocheter in town?! Michael Sellick, of course! Mikey is joining us all the way from Ontario, Canada for our Biggest Little Getaway this June to meet, greet, and share his knowledge with us! To hold us over until that (squeal-worthy) weekend, he's joining us in our Q2 Crochet Club with an exclusive pattern, Stitcher Went to Market, that is customizable and sure to become a go-to addition in your crafty collection! To make up the market bag, Mikey is using Sugar Bush Yarns in a rich and sturdy linen/cotton blend in a tantalizing trifecta of coral, navy, and white. This 3 month progressive project is sure to keep you hooked until he arrives!

Read more about Mikey in our Designer Q&A! The second quarter projects ships out next month, so reserve your spot now before the club gets too crochet crowd-ed!
