About 15 months ago, I released a pattern called Dark and Stormy. The design was a collaboration with The Plucky Knitter, and the cardigan was our version of the the kind of cardigan your Grandpa may have worn years ago. It was designed in a lovely deep dark gray, which Sarah created especially for the sweater.
The minute I started working with her, I knew I'd found a kindred spirit in all things yarn-related. It turns out we have similar taste in clothing design, an affinity for cocktails, and she creates a yarn that is absolutely habit-forming (to which I am now admittedly, and happily, addicted). So, that pile up there grew from one sweater to a few more projects over the past year, and there are more in the works. It's been a lovely partnership, and I consider myself extremely lucky to be working with her.

But Plucky is way out in Michigan and I'm here on the East Coast. Although we have the phone and the internet, we don't get to see each other in person. So, we figured a combined trunk show would be the perfect excuse to do so, right?
Plus.... we asked Cecily Glowik MacDonald of Winged Knits to join us!! She's done a few Plucky designs with Sarah, and all of her designs are just beautiful. So, we'll have lots of sweaters, a bunch of Plucky yarn (while it lasts), and our patterns for sale.

And yes, there IS a drinks angle. I'm not actually licensed properly to serve all of you, and neither is the yarn shop, But...
Pairings, the wine and food shop next door, hosts a tasting on Saturdays from 4-6pm, ,and has posted that they are doing a Funky Grapes tasting this week, with unusual wines you may not have heard of already. I love this particular wine shop, and it works out perfectly to browse the yarn store, knit for a bit to kill some time, and then pop on over. Doesn't it?

I hope you can join us! It's always fun to meet a few of you in person :-)
