What could be better than an original pattern for this week’s LYS Tour? How about an original color? We have both. The Camas Hat, above, is a new design from Cory Ellen Boberg at Indi.Knits that we’re debuting as a freebie during the tour. It’s shown in the Phinney Ridge color of Hazel Knits Cadence. The color was developed by Hazel Knits especially for us during the tour, and we’re thrilled. A complex mix of blue-green tones combines in a delightful teal color. If you’re not much of a knitter, we also have a free crocheted octopus pattern made from Classic Elite Liberty Print. The tour continues through Sunday at The Fiber Gallery and 25 other Western Washington yarn...

Read MoreThank You, LYS Tour-ists!
Thank you, everyone who participated in the 2012 LYS Tour! It was great meeting so many of you from near and far. Congratulations to those who won our daily door prizes of bags, yarn and notions donated by our sponsor companies. Our featured tour patterns were very popular and are still available for free at the store. The Slouchy Hat: Simple, Striped or Spicy pattern has three variations.
