Free Pattern & Kids’ Camps

Posted by Allison | Jun 8, 2012 | Free Patterns | 0

I only have 7 more days until my sweet, darling, little boy is on summer vacation. I am not looking forward to the extra dishes in the sink or my house looking like a toy store exploded when I get home. He’ll be going to camp 3 days a week. I chose a mainly academic camp, with sporting activities in the afternoons. When doing my research, I found so many cool camps! Sports, acting, farming, and knitting! Unfortunately, I don’t meet the age requirements for any of them. Yes, I know I can take a class but there’s something...

I am so excited for our fall line-up of yarns this year. Many of you have seen them already and were kind enough to share some of your pictures and projects with us. When we introduce a new line, I normally pick a favorite and go with it. That is impossible this time around ! There are so many beautiful fibers and colors. It’s going to be a busy knitting season for sure! I figured I would share them all with you, in one shot. I will do my best to give the important information you need, even when...

Many of you know our Betty. Plymouth Yarn’s “original” employee! Betty has been with us since about 1966 and today she celebrated her 88th birthday! If you have gotten a color card or mailing from us ever, most likely Betty has had some part in creating it. We celebrated her day with homemade chocolate cupcakes(a Plymouth Yarn Co. favorite), flowers, balloons, decorations, and a few gifts. The boss might even let her knock off a few minutes early! Thank you to Betty for all of her years of dedication and we hope you have a wonderful...
