It is nearly time to trade the 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.) As always, we are here if you need help finding the perfect yarn for a project and we have extra Holiday Help Sessions scheduled if you run into trouble.
 
 
Advent Kits!!!
Emma's Smalliday and Gnome Made Gifts MKAL
  
Our first Advent-ish kit is a customer favorite from Emma's Yarn- introducing 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 $200 
 
Simply Spectacular DK Small Set:  DK weight, 75% Superwash Merino / 25% Nylon – 1,250 yards $200
  
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, "Gnome Made Gifts", Emma's Yarns created 7 color packs. We currently have all seven in stock, plus a huge selection of minis if you would rather create your own. 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. It is a lot of fun and we are excited to be participating in it once again. 
 
New In The Shop
  
Just when we thought we had added all the yarn we were going to add this year, we stumbled upon Urth Yarn's Koozoo, a bulky weight superwash merino with some beautiful gradient colorways. We tried to resist, but we couldn't. Sarah has already designed a simple one-skein hat pattern that's free in the shop with yarn purchase. It's so much fun to knit with she knit up 3 of the 4 sizes (adult, toddler, and baby) in just 2 days. Other projects we really like this yarn for include the Super Bulky Fragilistic Expialidocious shawl or the Sidewinder Hat Hat and Cowl
We have been flying through the Feederbrook Farm Entropy over the past few months so we decided to increase the stock before the holidays. We have a few new colorways as well as lots more of your favorites. This yarn has been very popular for the varous shift patterns, but it is also an excellent choice to use on its own for things like hats and mittens. Come see why it is one of our favorites!!
    
We showed off our selection of point protectors last month and y'all seemed to really love them. Like, a lot. Luckily, we were able to get a few more shipments before the holiday season. we now have Christmas-themed point protectors, adorable cows, donuts, alpacas, yaks, and baby Yodas! These would make great stocking stuffers for the knitters in your life. 
 
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
 
Christmas Star Ornament Crochet Class
 
This quick holiday project is a wonderful way to add some cheer to your tree or some extra decor to your packages.
 
We'll be using our basic crochet skills and learning a couple of new stitches to make this sweet star ornament. The pattern is easily memorized and can be scaled up or down in size with any weight yarn and a suitable size crochet hook. Worsted weight yarn and a US H8/5.0 mm hook are needed to create these stellar ornaments.

Intro to Embroidery- Embroidered Medallions
 
This is a make and take project class where you will be introduced to basic embroidery stitches while stitching a fun medallion that can be used as a tree ornament or to embellish another clothing item or bag. Susan will have you stitching in circles while releasing some of that holiday tension. This class is perfect for the beginner, but can also be enjoyed by intermediate stitchers. 

For this class you will need a small hoop (we recommend a 3" embroidery hoop,) an embroidery needle, 3 small pieces of wool felt, a piece of linen fabric to fit your hoop, and 4-6 colors of embroidery floss. Susan will also have small kits available to purchase if you need supplies.
