It is nearly time to trade that pumpkin spice latte for a peppermint mocha and we are so ready for it!! We have already started working on holiday gifts and are so excited to start decorating the shop and our houses. Bring on the cocoa and Christmas trees!!
 
If you need some gift inspiration and haven't been following along, you can see all of our 30 Days of Giftmas posts from this year and last here (or if you prefer a non-Facebook option, here is our Ravelry bundle of gift ideas.) We have several one-session classes this December if you are in the mood to tackle a quick project. As always, we are here if you need help finding the perfect yarn for a project and we even have extra Holiday Help Sessions scheduled if you run into trouble. 
 
 
 
 
Advent Kits!!!
Emma's Smalliday and Snow Matter What MKAL
  
Our first Advent-ish kit is a customer favorite from Emma's Yarn- the Smalliday Set. Each Smalliday Set (previously known as the Advent Set) comes in an adorable Emma’s Yarn project bag, includes 25 individually wrapped Smalls – perfect for treating yourself or a loved one to a small-a-day for 25 days in December, a Love + Leche Little Bee lotion bar, and an insert with suggested knit and crochet patterns. We also created an advent pattern bundle here if you need more project inspiration.
 
We have two different Smalliday options: 
 
Practically Perfect Small Set:  Fingering weight, 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon – 2,025 yards $220 
 
Simply Spectacular DK Small Set:  DK weight, 75% Superwash Merino / 25% Nylon – 1,250 yards $220
  
Looking for a smaller Advent project? Sarah Schira of Imagined Landscapes is once again doing her holiday mystery knit along. For this year's project, "Snow Matter What", we have created a bunch of color packs and for those of you who want to pick your own colors, we have a huge selection of minis to mix and match. Once you have your minis, you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry or Payhip and every day in December leading up to Christmas you will recieve part of the pattern and some other special bonuses (recipes, stories, mini patterns, etc.) It is a lot of fun and we are excited to be participating in it once again. 
 
New In The Shop
  
Y'all know we love our Lykke Interchangeable sets and we have stocked the Driftwood, the Indigo, the Umber, and the Blush sets. You would think that would be enough, but then they realeased their Colour sets with a rainbow of needles and we couldn't resist stocking them. Basically, it is everrything you know and love about the Lykke needles, but in a rainbow of colors. Besides being beautiful, the colors help you keep like sizes together. These are limited and we won't be able to get another order before the holidays, so if you want them grab them sooner rather than later. 
The Fall and Winter colorways from Northwood Fibers are absolutely stunning!! This photo doesn't even do them justice. We were oohing and aahing when the box arrived and they have us dreaming of evenings of fireside knitting and chatting with friends. These colors are in the wonderful Butternut Sock (400 yards (366 m) / 80% Superwash Merino Wool / 20% Nylon / 2-ply twist. We also have some fade kits in the Hemlock DK ( 245 yards (224 m) / 75% Superwash Merino Wool / 25% Nylon / 4-ply) and more of the gorgeous Willow Suri (328 yards (300 m) / 74% Baby Suri Alpaca / 26% Mulberry Silk) stocked in the shop.
    
We have a ton of new point protectors in the shop, including a bunch of holiday-themed ones perfect for gifting or simply making you a little more festive as you work on those last minute gifts. 
    
Also on the subject of holiday bits and bobs, we have some festive gift tags to add to your handmade items along with adorable stickers for stuffing the stocking of your favorite fiber enthusiast.
 
ReBelle Knit/Crochet Alongs
    
For our December shop KAL/CAL, we will be focusing on holiday projects- both projects with holiday themes (advent calendars, stockings, decor) and project meant as holiday gifts. This is your chance to get a start on those holiday projects and get help and support along the way.
 
For those of you longing to get something new on the needles, Robyn created a Ravelry bundle (https://ravel.me/spingirl/g2 ) with several pattern ideas if you need some help finding the perfect project. She is also available if you need help finding a pattern for a particular yarn.
 
 
All ReBelle knit alongs are free and open to the public. You are welcome to attend as many or as few of the KAL sessions as you like.

Featured Upcoming Classes
 
 
Copenhagan Crochet Cowl
 
The Copenhagen Cowl is a lush, luxurious cowl perfect for cuddling close against the chill, crocheted with an easy repeating v-stitch motif in soft sock/fingering weight yarn. Using a color changing yarn adds interest and drama to the mix for a knockout project that will show off all the beautiful colors in your yarn.

This cowl requires basic crochet skills, and you will learn the v-stitch and how to crochet in the round, how to join rounds and create a tubular shaped cowl. The project uses about 440 yards of sock/fingering weight yarn and a US size H8/5.00mm hook.

Half a Granny Square Shawl
 
In a riff on the traditional granny square, this triangular version creates a generous shawl that radiates coziness and comfort when you wrap yourself in it. 

This project requires basic crochet skills, and you will learn how to create granny clusters, treble crochet stitches, and increases to form the triangular shape of the shawl. This shawl uses about 880 yds of sport weight yarn and a US size G6/4.00mm hook.

Aunt Maggie's Slippers
 
Join Susan as she teaches you to make a pair of Aunt Maggie’s Slippers by Bev’s Country Cottage. If you are of a certain age, you grew up with these slippers, a new pair every year. They knit up quickly in chunky yarn and are easy to knit, making them the perfect gifting item (plus who doesn’t love warm feet!) For this project you can use one strand of chunky weight yarn or two strands of worsted weight yarn held together, knitted on US9 needles. This pattern comes with instructions for infant through adult sizes so you can make a pair for everyone in your life.
