When the cat's away...

Lee and Judd are off at Claire's 2 year birthday party.  That leaves myself and Maggie in the store alone.  What shall we do?  Come visit and keep us out of trouble!

World Wide Knit in Public Day

Join other Bad Women at World Wide Knit in Public Day at Olympic Sculpture Park on Saturday, June 14.

To be sure you are properly attired, we will have "Bad Woman Yarn for the Insatiable Knitter" 

T-shirts on sale at 50% off with a yarn purchase beginning May 31.

Because many of you missed the LYS Tour, we are also offering a discount on our shop one-skein pattern yarns that were so popular during the tour. They are nice little projects for shamelessly knitting in public.

Kittens invade Bad Woman Yarn

Tuesday Bad Woman Yarn was invaded by six or seven 4-week old kittens. One of the members of our teen knitting group fosters animals from the Shelter and shared these darlings with us. Everyone was thoroughly taken with them especially the children (young and old). Just check them out.

Local Yarn Shop Tour

Thanks to all of  you who visited us during the LYS Tour. We had over 400 of  you drop in over the 4 days. We enjoyed visiting with you and were pleased with all your positive comments on Bad Woman Yarn and our one-skein patterns.

Our daily drawing winners were Stacey, Ariel, Shonna and Lori. Congratulations!

Watch here for upcoming sales and events.

Come back soon!

Meg's Summer WIPs

I'm working on two sweaters right now -- one for the shop and one for me.  For the shop I'm knitting up a child's "Frangipani" from Sublime's gorgeous new pattern book.  I'm using Sublime's "Soya Cotton" yarn, which really is nice to work with.  It's soft and doesn't split as much as cottons often tend to do.

I'm only half-way through the back, but hopefully it'll be ready to show off at the LYS tour.  Come see it this weekend!

The project for me is a KAL with one of our customers, Carole.  We're both making Annie Modesitt's  Corset Tank Top.  I'm using Berroco "Comfort", which is knitting up beautifully.  The pattern is really interesting and fun to knit, but I'm worried my tank is coming out quite small.  We'll see...  :)

Today they celebrated Emma's 14th birthday with cupcakes from Trophy Cupcakes and Party just down the hall.

Happy Birthday, Emma!!!
