We're STUFFED with Gratitude!

    
November 19, 2018

Can you believe it’s already Thanksgiving?! Neither can we!
We thought we’d take a moment and share some gratitude - Yarnivore is our happy place (that includes all y’all) and we have so much for which we’re grateful:

• All who inspire us (again, all y’all!) to pick up yarn and tools
• All those who teach us new tricks
• All the designers, dyers, and makers who share their artistry
• All those who are patient as we wind, wind, wind yarn
• All those who give forgive us our mistakes (that includes forgiving yourself for your crocheting-knitting-spinning-weaving mistakes)
• All those who support our craft even when they don’t practice it
• All those who keep Yarnivore healthy and thriving even though they have plenty of places to shop
• All those who help keep Yarnivore a joyful, happy place

Featured Pattern & Yarn
Uneek yarns are, well, UNIQUE! They have beautiful multi-colorways and a soft hand that knits or crochets like a dream. We suggest Uneek Worsted to keep you warm as the weather cools. Which one? Try the Waiting for Fall Poncho by Kim Simpson! It has an elegant falling leaves design that would look great in Uneek's colors! $6 on Ravelry or in-store.

Helping Kids in Need
One of our customers, Cynthia Lyons, is looking for people willing to partner with her to make hats and scarves for the boys and girls at Boysville. She needs knitters, crocheters, and yarn donors! If you can help, please call or text (210)632-2488 (leave a message regarding Boysville) or you can email her at clyons0324@yahoo.com. She's also collecting like-new toys, books, school supplies, and other supplies.

The Tip Jar
Big bold buttons add so much drama and style to your knitted and crocheted pieces, but sometimes, they're so heavy that they distort the soft fabric. To support the fabric and keep the button from stretching things out, sew a small patch of woven fabric into the wrong side, then sew your button through the knitting/crochet and the backing fabric together!
