Wynona Studios

I know I am a little late, but here are my Knitting New Years Resolutions for 2012:

I will finish 12 sweaters in 2012. This include completing the 3 I already have on the needles as well as 9 more. I have a huge list in my queue on Ravelry to choose from, as well as those in already paired up with yarn here at the shop. Now all I have to do is actually knit them!

I will make something with lace, something with cables, something with fair isle, something with intarsia and something with entrelac this year.

And lastly, I will find a better balance between “obligation knitting” and “fun knitting”.

I would also like to teach a class outside of the studio, at a conference, festival or the like about recycling yarn and using recycled yarn. Not really a knitting resolution, but related.

So what are your New Years Knitting Resolutions? What are you planning to knit this year?

Hi honey! We are hoooooome!

Come say hi, we have missed YOU!

Todays deal is a really good one!!! 25% off all knitting needles and notions (excluding the kits and Miss Purl’s markers). We have Clover as well as some cool vintage needles, circular, double pointed, straights, needle tip protectors, row counters, gauges, stitch holders, and more!

We will be having a sale on a different item every day as part of our 12 Deals of Christmas Promotion!

Todays deal is on cashmere sweaters. These pre-loved sweaters are normally $20 each, but today they are on sale for $15 each! What an awesome deal! They are perfect for felting and using for craft projects, some have yarn large enough to harvest and reuse, or you could just wear it to your holiday parties!

When you add in Supportland’s generous triple points on Friday and Saturday and the American Express Small Business Saturday offer of $25 for shopping at one of the registered small businesses (of which we are one!) when you register your card in advance and its a great weekend to come shopping!

Hope to see you this weekend!

Santa's Wishlist Box at Wynona Studios in Oregon City

As some of your know, we are a remote outpost of the North Pole and have been deputized by the big man himself (Santa Claus) to keep holiday wishlists here at Wynona Studios. We know its a little early, but some of your start your shopping early to be finished before Christmas Eve (what a concept!), so we wanted to let you know about a great service we offer here at Wynona Studios.

You can come in, grab an index card out of the Santa’s Wishlist Box and fill it out with everything you want from Wynona Studios! Then let those friends and family that are shopping for you know to stop by here and check out your card. We are always happy to help with any shopping for those not familiar with the ways of yarn and offer free gift wrapping for anything purchased off a wishlist card. And if there is isn’t anything they think is quite right, we offer gift certificates too.

Last year we had a few very intelligent but yarn clueless husbands stop by, hand over the credit card and tell us to get them $xx.xx worth of “stuff she wants.” They then headed next door for a an amble through the train shop and/or a coffee and the newspaper. We pulled the card, picked what we knew their wife wanted the most off the shelf and when they came back it was all wrapped up and ready to go! One said it was the easiest Christmas shopping he had ever done!

The box is out now and ready for you to come fill out your card! This is a free service and open to anyone that would like to take the time to participate.

Are you looking for a button? Maybe one single fabulous button to go on your Mr. Greenjeans Sweater? Or 6 matching vintage buttons for your newly finished cardigan? Or 6 unmatched but similar tiny pink buttons for the front of your Bohus sweater? Or possibly you are looking for that one really special pearl button to replace the one that is lost on the vintage dress you picked up at Buffalo Exchange? Well Wynona Studios has the buttons!

We have vintage buttons on the original cards. We have vintage buttons that have lost their cards. We have buttons from sweaters we have recycled. We have newer buttons. We have handmade, One of A Kind ceramic buttons. And as a last resort, we have huge jars of buttons for you to look through until you find a perfect match! We have, red, green, blue, purple, yellow, orange, silver, gold, wood, and sparkly buttons. We have BUTTONS!

Some are sold in sets, some are sold by the individual and our prices are very reasonable. We love buttons and are happy to help you look through the jar until you find the perfect one. But we have to warn you….very few people leave here with just one button!

I hope all of you yarnaholics out there enjoy I LOVE YARN DAY!! Although, really, here at Wynona Studios, what day is NOT I Love Yarn Day?

We have lots of new yarn to celebrate with!

New yarn from Blissful Knits.
New yarn from Hand-dyed by JJ.
“New” recycled yarn.

We will be closed early on Saturday the 3rd, and all day on the 4th, as well as our usual Monday and Tuesday. We will see you again on Wednesday the 7th! Hope you have a lovely, relaxing and fiber filled weekend too!
