We’re beyond excited to welcome Heather of Girl With a Hook for a colorful, texture-filled trunk show at Fancywork! Many of us on staff are already obsessed with Heather’s wire & wool earrings—her playful, fiber-filled jewelry that lets you wear yarn all year long—and we can’t wait to see what other treasures she’ll bring. This special trunk show is the perfect chance to find one-of-a-kind, wool-inspired gifts for your fiber-loving friends (and maybe yourself!), even if they haven’t yet fallen down the delightful rabbit hole of knitting, crochet, weaving, or spinning.
Heather is a small-batch wool dyer and spinner with a passion for bright, bold color and rich texture. Working with locally sourced wool, she scours, dyes, and spins every skein by hand, creating art yarns and fibers as unique as snowflakes. Alongside her handspun yarns and hand-dyed spinning fibers, she’ll be showcasing her signature wire & wool jewelry—vibrant, textural pieces that bring the joy of wool to any outfit, ready-to-wear fingerless gloves and blanket mini greeting cards, too! Stop by, meet Heather, and soak up the color—this is one trunk show that promises to dazzle.
December 20–28 at Fancywork Yarn Shop
Magic, laughter, and a love of making come together in this enchanting Coven Collective Trunk Show at Fancywork. Founded by four creative spirits—Antje, Fallon, Jess, and Kacie—Coven Collective was born from friendship, craft, and a shared passion for creativity. These makers met as adults during the pandemic and quickly became each other’s found family, turning their love of fiber arts into a joyful collaboration that celebrates color, connection, and community.
Stop by Fancywork December 20–28 to explore hand-dyed yarns and beautifully crafted project bags, each piece infused with the group’s signature blend of artistry and personality. Expect rich hues, playful textures, and designs that capture the spirit of makers who truly do it all—from macramé to painting, spinning to stitching.
We’re thrilled to welcome Kacie from Coven Collective in-store on Saturday, December 20 for a special meet-and-greet to kick off the trunk show. Come share a laugh, shop the collection, and experience the creative spark these makers have spun together—just in time to treat yourself (or a fellow fiber friend) this holiday season.

Curious about KnitCompanion? This pattern-tracking app makes it easy to keep your place in any project—whether you’re following one pattern or juggling many WIPs at once! In this beginner-friendly session, Kecia will guide you through all the free Basics features and offer a high-level tour of the powerful paid tools that come with the Setup+Essentials subscription (which we think is well worth the $29.99/year cost!).

- Sync across multiple devices
Before class, please download the KnitCompanion app on your device—Apple, Google, or Amazon all work—and we’ll use the complimentary pattern pre-loaded into the app to learn together. Not sure about subscribing yet? Activate your free trial of Setup+Essentials just before class so you can test out the premium tools.
Ready to go further? Join our KnitCompanion 201 class next to explore even more of this powerful app’s robust, time-saving features. Prior use of KnitCompanion or completion of this 101 session is strongly recommended before taking 201.

Grab your gradient, power up your app, and come bask in the glow!
FAQs
What's a Knitalong (or Crochetalong, or Makealong)?
A knitalong (KAL), Crochetalong (CAL) or Makealong (MAL) is a social event designed to bring the maker community together around a specific pattern or yarn – or sometimes both. Enjoy connecting with others while knitting or crocheting the same garment or working with a particular yarn together. This is a fantastic time to gather together with others in our fiber arts community, enjoy camaraderie, and get a little guidance and project support along the way.
What ISN'T a Knitalong/Crochetalong/Makealong?
A KAL/CAL/MAL is not a class. You should be reasonably familiar with the techniques required to work through the project at hand. However, help is never far away! If you ever find yourself in need of extended project support, drop in to one of our Help Sessions, offered weekly on Wednesdays & Saturdays from 1-3pm.
We’ve pulled together a few pattern and yarn pairings to inspire your gift list:
Super Bulky: Malabrigo Rasta
Bulky: Malabrigo Mecha, Chunky, or Vientos
Aran: West Yorkshire Spinners Fable, The Fibre Co. &Make Aran, or Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino + Soft Silk Mohair
Worsted: Amano Riti, Malabrigo Rios, or mYak Baby Yak Medium
THE SCHEDULE:
Join us for three Saturday afternoons of camaraderie, encouragement, and plenty of holiday cheer as we knit our way toward the season of giving.
- Meetup 1: Saturday, December 6 from 3–5 p.m.
- Meetup 2: Saturday, December 13 from 3–5 p.m.
- Meetup 3: Saturday, December 20 from 3–5 p.m.

Join our all-star knitting instructor, Dedra, as she walks you through every detail of making your very own sweater. At the end of this class, you'll have a very cute, very sporty pullover that you'll proudly wear everywhere! Class meets five times over the course of seven weeks to knit Varsity Sweater by Lamb & Kid Designs.
Class 1: Starting out right! In this first class, we'll cover the all-important gauge swatch - how to do it right and what to do if you're not getting gauge. We will also discuss different types of sweater construction, top down, bottom up, cardigans and pullovers.
Class 2: All about the yoke. We'll learn how to use short rows to shape the neckline for elegance and a comfortable fit and, at the same time, we'll be working those raglan sleeve increases.
Class 3: Getting to the meat of it. This week we'll tackle the sleeves and body of the sweater. Once your sleeve stitches are secured, cables are adjusted and a few rows are under your belt, it's smooth sailing from here! We'll send you off on a two-week break to knit, knit, knit on your own with the goal of coming back with a completed, bound off sweater body.
Class 4: School's back in session! We'll gather together again and jump in on those sleeves, learning how to shape them, along with strategies for making them the perfect length.
Class 5: Graduation Day! We will finish our sweaters strong and celebrate the big win! We'll talk about finishing techniques and how to care for your handmade heirloom.
Congratulations, you've graduated to Sweater Knitter!
