I know it took a few days to post these photos, but better late than never, right?
We had a blast at this year's Stitch 'N Pitch. Thanks everyone for coming and making this a night to remember! Wanna see more photos? Click here.
Just in time for spring... we've got brand new shipments of Malabrigo Worsted
and because the first batch of Shibui Sock yarn nearly sold out, we've restocked and added some awesome new colors
Remember our A Mano t-shirts from back in the day? They're back and now they're sporting our brand new logo. Get a t-shirt (or mug, or mousepad, or sweatshirt) and show the world your A Mano love. See the sidebar for ordering information.

Now that we've had a chance to recuperate from our crazy week at TNNA, we wanted to give you a little preview of some of the awesome new yarns we ordered for the spring that will be arriving over the next few weeks.
I know, I know, teasers are... well, a tease. But you know you want to know what's coming, don't you? We knew that you would.
First up... We met the fine folks from Shibui and ordered some of their awesome (not just) Sock Yarn.
Doesn't it look awesome? The colors are vibrant, it's super soft, and knits like a dream. We love it and know you will too.
Then we took a walk over to Claudia's Handpaints. No only is Claudia great to work with, 
but she's created some of the most amazing multi-colored sock yarn we've seen lately. This yarn could actually cure my second sock syndrome.
Lots of you asked us about Dream In Color's Classy. So we took a look at it and... wow. You were right.
Classy is a beautiful veil dyed, worsted weight superwash wool spun from Australian Merino (i.e. crazy soft). Veil dyeing is a process that creates a rich layered color that doesn't pool like some hand-dyed yarns do.
Kollage has a new yarn called Creamy that's 80% milk and 20% cotton.
Yes, milk. So soft.
We also picked up Lanaknits Cashmere Canapa (a cashmere, cotton and hemp blend) and AllHemp6 and some pretty cool roving from Pagewood Farms.
Next time, we'll preview some of the accessories and books that are on the way... Good stuff...
Did you see it? A Mano was featured in the Image section of Sunday's Los Angeles Times. Here's a link - but you may need to register to see it.
It's Friday, Dec 28. You know what that means... A Mano's Year End Holiday Party/Bad Girl Knit Night!
The festivities begin at 6pm. Bring a gift to participate in the gift exchange and a dish, dessert or libation to share and join us as we celebrate the holidays A Mano Style!
See you tonight!
Wishing you and yours the happiest of holidays, the merriest Christmas, a wonderful Winter Solstice, the fabulous Kwanzaa, a belatedly Happy Hanukkah, and a fantastic Festivus (for the rest of us) from Shannita, Annette, Aimee, & the Yarn Spawn (Lilly, Alina, Ginger & Emily)
Here's a little gift from us to you... well, actually, not us per se, but the fine folks at Lime & Violet who have put together one awesome entertaining holiday podcast chock full 'o silly holiday songs. It's the thought that counts though, right?
Lime & Violet Holiday Spectacular
Enjoy!
(By the way, we're open today from 11-2ish for your last minute holiday needs.)
