Any yarns or notions on the tables will be 40% off.
NEW KNIT A LONG
It’s not too late to join the Olive Knits 4 Day KAL! The Cast-On party for Lemon Spritz will be Sunday, July 2nd. Yep, you read that right. Sunday. We are going to meet at 2:00 at STGN to start our Lemon Spritz summer top. If you need to get measured and/or help with the sizing, we will be glad to help you with that.

We have several different choices of yarns for you to choose from to make Lemon Zest. It would be helpful for you to knit a swatch before the Cast-On Party.

Btw…we are having a special lemon treat on Sunday and we have some lemon swag to give away!
