Roses are red,
Violets are purple,
Which is a very hard word to rhyme
And makes me happy that on February the 14th we don't traditionally have to give each other oranges.
~Neil Gaiman
It’s February, folks! That means New Romances, Broken Hearts, and Candy! And if you come by ReBelle next week, February also means Magical Mythical Creatures!! Well, mythical creature yarn anyway! That’s right, if you want do something special for your Valentine, Galentine, Palentine, or even better yourself, you have to come by the shop or our Knitted Wit Magical Mythical Creatures Trunk Show. Yarns representing unicorns, mermaids, and centaurs will all be there to catch your eye and your imagination. Not to mention, cold weather has returned to Lexington. What better way to keep warm than with a lovely mermaid shawl? You don’t want to miss this!

We have lots of new stuff in the shop, but the thing we are most excited about is our new tote bag design by Cricket Press!! We had them printed on the same bags we used last time with the nice long straps and flat bottoms, big enough to hold an afghan project strong enough for your groceries. As with the previous bags, these bags are $10 or $5 with a $100 purchase. |
While we loved last year's Herstory sock club by Knitted Wit, we decided to mix things up this year and do their Sassy Holidays sock club this year. The Holiday for February is Gumdrop Day which happens on February 15. Now you can knit some gumdrop socks while eating gumdrops on Gumdrop Day!! |
In other exciting news, we have a fresh shipment of Mad Tosh that includes some great new colors of Tosh Sock. |
Lots of great new colors of Tosh Merino Light!!

And finally, some great new colors of Tosh Vintage, perfect for our Comfort Fade Cardi KAL next month!! |
