Introducing the addi-Art "Diamond"!

This is what Skacel has to say about their new "Diamond" needles!

The addi-Art ‘Diamond’ is sure to be on every knitter’s holiday shopping list this year. Unique in all respects, the limited edition needle was handcrafted with great patience and care. This once in a lifetime creation features a visible core of genuine Swarovski crystals which twinkle and dance in celebration of every stitch you knit. The construction of a needle this special required the utmost attention to detail. Thus, for a single day in the fall of 2012, addi devoted their daily production to focus all efforts on this individual item. Keeping with addi’s hands-on tradition of manufacturing, each individual Swarovski crystal was painstakingly placed into the heart of every needle. The final product gently blurs the line between form and function, constructing a piece of art, with purpose.

Oh yes, we have them!  Two left, size 32" #15! 

I wasn't knitting....

So this morning I got up and showered...
...I wasn't knitting...
I fixed the kids breakfast....
...I wasn't knitting...
I drove the kids to school....
...I wasn't knitting...
I came to work and solved the computer issue...
...I STILL wasn't knitting...

I WORK IN A YARN SHOP for crying out loud and

I'M STILL NOT KNITTING!

I will be knitting when I get home this evening...oh yeah, by day calm, respectable, unassuming Knit Unique employee, by night, rabid knitter!  The kids go to bed, the needles come out, yarn starts to magically change into lovely knitted mittens, scarves, hats, you name it!  Cables, broken rib, seed stitch, knit, purl, ribbing, lace, short rows!  Nothing is left out!

Hope you all are finding time in your busy days and lives to get in touch with your inner rabid knitter!!

 

Naughty or nice??

You know you have been nice, and so have all of your friends!  To let them know, you can knit up each and every one of them a fancy one skein scarf at half the price!  Through the end of December, when you buy one skein of fancy scarf yarn, you get one free!!  So go ahead, impress your friends...let them ring in the new year in a fancy, frilly, sparkle, or lacey scarf!

Best Wishes for a Lovely Thanksgiving!

Knit Unique would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and friendship that you, our most wonderful customers and friends, have shown us in our first two years of business!  We so enjoyed our birthday party last week and were so delighted by the masses of well wishers that turned out to celebrate with us!  Very overwhelming, thank you so much.

As Thanksgiving approaches (rapidly!), we would like to just let you all know how very thankful we are for all of you!  We also would like to wish everyone safe travels and warm companionship over the holiday!

This year, Knit Unique is joining the ShopSmall Saturday movement!  Along with many of the businesses in historic downtown Logan, Knit Unique will be closed on Black Friday.  That is a day for big box stores and early shopping hours and doorbuster savings.  Saturday, then, is the day to support your locally owned small businesses!  Last year, over ONE HUNDRED MILLION people came out on "ShopSmall Saturday" to support their locally owned businesses. Click here for More ShopSmall Information!

And once again, thank you so much for your support in our first two years!

Knit Unique Closed on Halloween!

Don't be scared...we will be open the day before and the day after!  Inventory can be very demanding , so we must be closed for the day to catch up.  We appologize in advance for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding! 

For our wild and crazy Crazy Hat Contestants, fear not, bring those hats in on the day before or the day after Halloween!

Thank you for your understanding!

Will it REALLY rain today??

Clear rain boots to show off your lovely hand knit socks or leg warmers!

 

 

The guy on the radio SAID it was going to rain today!  In case you have forgotten, rain is that wet drippy stuff that used to fall from the sky.  I caution you, because as I recall, when mixed with dirt or dust, rain has been known to cause MUD, which rumor has it, can really mess up your nice shoes!  So, this is where Knit Unique comes in....  We carry the clear rain boots designed to show off those lovey hand knit, colorful socks or leg warmers that you have been working so hard to make!  So go ahead - dance in the rain!

This guy is afraid to show his socks!

 

 

 

...and don't worry about hiding your socks!
