Winner of Knitwit's Lizard Ridge afghan!

CONGRATULATIONS Knitwits! Our combined efforts, creativity, and talent made a beautiful afghan that we raffled off for Covenant House. At last count, there was approximately $1350 in proceeds from raffle tickets and donations. A tremendous success. I can’t wait to see what our next project will be.

New yarn store in Victoria BC: Button & Needlework Boutique

Button & Needlework Boutique

This shop has been around for 12 years apparently, but only branched out into yarn a couple of years ago. It stocks buttons, embroidery materials and a lot of yarns you don't see all that commonly, like Ella Rae and Spud & Chloe, and some local stuff too - as well as colours that some of our locals don't have (ie, Debbie Bliss Donegal Luxury Tweed in two different shades of pink! :)

Best of all, the shop has a toll-free order number, reasonable shipping rates and super friendly and helpful staff. A great place to consider if you need something desperately and the local shops cannot or won't supply.
