It’s not Staycation without a party, so we’re pulling out the Kroger sheet cake for the one and only Karida Collins.

It’s Karida’s birthday! Happy birthday, Karida!

We are so glad Karida was born, because it was the start of a chain of events that led to right here, right now, to a Field Guide full of her ideas and our shop full of her yarns.

Let’s Have a Staycation Birthday Saleabration!

If you’ve been watching all the colorful fun happening with Neighborhood Fiber Co. yarns, now is the perfect moment to have a look at the designs in Field Guide No. 18: Beginnings and set yourself up with some of this yarn that has been declared “the ultimate smooshy delight.”

Save 10% on the four weights of Organic Studio yarns: Sock, DK, Worsted, and Chunky. And also the delicious Rustic Fingering (that Kay knit up into Jeanette Sloan’s Mood Cardigan!).

I’m almost done with my Debut Pullover, and OK, I’ll admit that the quote above is from me.

This yarn really is the ultimate smooshy delight.

While We’re At It . . .

The sister book to go with Karida’s Field Guide No. 18: Beginnings, is our newest baby, Skill Set: Beginning Knitting.

In our never-ending quest to make more knitters, today we’re offering a 10% savings on our superb kit, the Skill Set Box of Joy.

It includes every single thing a new knitter needs to practice the nine lessons in Skill Set. Book is included. Just lob this Box of Joy over to that loved one who has been hankering to learn, and you’ll be a hero two ways: 1) they will love you for it and 2) you will have made a new knitter, which the world needs!

And add in the Skill Set Baggu Tote while you’re at it. It’s our most popular bag at the moment, and it’s 10% off. Remember that all our Staycation deals will be available through Sunday on our Sale page. Have a peek!

Meanwhile . . .

Keep Staycating! May your knitting flow like a river, may your choco tasty treats stay cool, may you get a nap just like that.

Here’s to you, Karida!

  • Happy Birthday, Karida! Thanks for your yarn and good works!

  • Where can I find the pattern for the cowl/poncho/shawl shown on Facebook today? Thank you.

  • I was lucky to get a skein of her DK in Michelle Obama. Made Casapinka’s Empower; grandson snipped it in a few places; frogged (sadly) and re-knit with a bunch of Russian joins and Romi’s Empower pattern. LOVE the yarn, which held up to all that just fine.

  • Happy Birthday Karida! Your yarn is a joy to knit and thank you for all you do

  • Happy BIrthday, Karida! I believe I met you at the Shenandoah Fibre Festival one time, awhile back. Thanks for all your fabulous yarn and creativity. All the best for another great year.

  • Hope you had a great birthday Karida!
