Spinner's Meetups are the perfect time to bring your wheels and spindles to socialize and network with other fiber artists. Don't have a wheel or spindle? Join us anyway! We now have shop spinning wheels for borrow and can get you set up and spinning in no time.

Ponchos are so trendy this time of year, we wanted to share some of our favorites with you, as well as yarns we would love to make them in!

KNIT: Summer Poncho (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/summer-poncho-18) by Aver P

WHY WE LOVE IT: Just because it's called the Summer Poncho doesn't mean it won't work wonderfully for all the seasons. Try making it in any yarn that catches your eye. If you can figure out your gauge, we can set you up with the rest. This FREE pattern is very easily customized!
MAKE IT IN: Cozy (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/cozy-kelbourne-woolens/UOJRTYCD5RSG3TTHW5GKLXFU?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true) for the softest coziest fabric, Asana Bulk (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/asana-bulky-galler-yarns/YJ7H2YVVOHMHUPO5S43GORYW) y for fun texture or ANY YARN YOU WANT

CROCHET: The Kyra Poncho (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-kyra-poncho) by Crocheted By K

WHY WE LOVE IT: It can be made with warmer yarns but offers an open stitch that is perfect for the unpredictable fall weather here in East Tennessee.
MAKE IT WITH:
Gusto Wool & Cool (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/wool-cool-gusto-wool/GRIXDOUZATSIOCXJVMEGFHWP?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true) for hand dyed fun
Cricket (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/cricket-donegal-tweed-merino-wool-yarn/JE3QCQ2DOW5F7525ROIRTWVZ) for tweedy fall texture

KNIT: Ivy Cape (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ivy-cape) by Petiteknit

WHY WE LOVE IT: This caplet/poncho is pretty simple so it would be a great time to experiment with texture and color.
MAKE IT IN: Asana Bulky (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/asana-bulky-galler-yarns/YJ7H2YVVOHMHUPO5S43GORYW) for some fun texture, Malabrigo Rios (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/malabrigo-rios/5) or any hand dyed worsted held with mohair

CROCHET: V-Stitch Poncho (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/v-stitch-poncho) by Helena LB

WHY WE LOVE IT: The simple stitch offers great texture and can be customized to any length. It will work up quickly with a 5mm hook, and the pattern is FREE!
MAKE IT WITH: Ritual Dyes Priestess DK (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/priestess-dk-ritual-dyes/BDBYD4BQP2CX6YD7P6RDAZXW?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true) or Malabrigo Rios (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/malabrigo-rios/5)

AND in case you. missed it...

Have you seen our newest shop project?

The Wool & Cool Poncho only takes 1 skein of Gusto's Wool & Cool (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/wool-cool-gusto-wool/GRIXDOUZATSIOCXJVMEGFHWP?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true) (or a single skein of any sock yarn) and works up quickly into your new favorite layering piece! We just love this blend of wool & linen, it's perfect for the unpredictable forecast of East Tennessee in the fall.

Pattern is yours free with a single skein purchase!

Hi friends,

We can't believe we are about to celebrate THREE years of being your favorite LYS next month! We wouldn't be here without your support and we wanted to share a few thoughts with you.

This is the time of year when shopping small really, truly matters.

We are more than just a yarn store — we’re a place to gather, to learn together, to laugh, to unwind, and more. If you want to keep seeing that community, being part of it, and having us here for a long, long time — we could really use your support right now.

If you’re starting your holiday shopping, there are so many ways to help:
Sign up for a class (https://www.thebeesknits.com/shop/classes/32?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=popularity_score&sort_order=desc&location_id=809JFT8YH0TFC) , grab a gift card (https://www.thebeesknits.com/s/gift-cards) for a future you (or a friend), shop our locally-made stitch markers & gifts (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/all-y-all-hand-salve-locally-made-/395) in the store, or stock up on yarn and supplies (https://www.thebeesknits.com/s/shop) to make something handmade for someone you love.

There is so much beautiful, new yarn we plan to bring in for you, and we can only keep doing that with your support.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for being here and making us part of your fiber journey. Thank you for shopping with us, for stitching with us, and for being the community that makes this shop what it is. We are so grateful for every one of you.

With love and gratitude,
Melissa & the Bees Knits family

We are just loving all the ponchos popping up this season and want to share one that we made with you!

We made ours in Wool & Cool (https://www.thebeesknits.com/product/wool-cool-gusto-wool/GRIXDOUZATSIOCXJVMEGFHWP?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true) , a fi*****ng-weight merino & linen blend that we are OBSESSED with right now. This yarn is amazing: It is machine washable, comes in gorgeous, hand-dyed color ways in the perfect hues to compliment your fall wardrobe, and it just gets softer over time with every wear and wash.

The pattern takes just one skein of Wool & Cool and we are including it free with your yarn purchase.

Wool/linen not your jam? This pattern can work with any fi*****ng or sock-weight yarn, just let us know you plan to make it so we can send you home with a copy!

Join us in-store FRIDAY NIGHTS in October and get started on your very own poncho with us!

Or just come on by FRIDAYS from 5-8pm for YARNHAULICS ANONYMOUS!
