Who doesn't love a free Casapinka pattern? 
Casapinka does a great job supporting local yarn shops, and she is offering a pattern for another beautiful shawl.  Hug shot is being offered for Hug your pet weekend June 5-7.  This shawl calls for 2 skeins of fingering weight (400 yds each). Codes for this free pattern may be redeemed on ravelry between June 5 and 7, after which the pattern will be for sale on Ravelry.  When you purchase the yarn or kit on our website, we will provide you with a code for the pattern.  This is a really fun knit  You can find kits in our shop-this one is the August 19/Baia combo.  And, Casapinka's finished shawl: 

I am thinking too, it should be contest time!  Make the Hug shot, and either post a pic on social media, or email it to us, and we will share it.  Your pic will be entered in a random drawing for a $10 gift certificate to use on anything in our shop.  Plus, this is my very first blog post, so I'd like to see who is actually paying attention  LOL.  I am learning this website slowly piece by piece so bear with me as my writing skills evolve (hopefully)... stay tuned for blog post #2 

Knit on!
