Happy Holidays!!

We here at Bonnie's would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. We will be open our regular business hours, 9:30 to 5:30, on December 22 and 23 and from 9:30 to 1:00 on December 24. We will be closed on December 25 and resume regular hours on Friday.

Snowed in?

A good part of the Midwest is blanketed in snow, with more on the way. Knitters love this weather, it's a great excuse to stay inside and work on projects. If you're snowed in and need more yarn, give us a call or place an order online. We'll get it to as soon as possible. You can stay warm and cozy and keep knitting!

Lucy Neatby Videos

Lucy Neatby's line of DVDs are a great gift for any knitter, or even yourself. If you are just learning, have several projects under your belt, or consider yourself an experienced knitter, Lucy has something for you. We have 12 titles in stock.

New project bags

Bonnie's just received the new Lantern Moon 100% silk project bags. These bags have a structured bottom and ten great colors are available. They are the perfect size for small and medium projects and they make great gifts. At only $12 each these bags will go fast!

Holiday gifts

There are only 14 knitting days until Christmas. If you just can't finish a hand-knit gift, you can still find great gifts in the store or on our web site. Here are some ideas from me and my elves:

1. Gift certificates in any increment

2. Yarn, because you can never have too much

3. Books and patterns to inspire a knitter

4. Knitting bags, again-you just can't have too many

5. Our exclusive "I'd Rather be Knitting" T-shirts

6. Knitting gadgets

7. Already made felted bags, no one has to know someone else did the work

8. Knitting needles, the new Takumi needles are fabulous

9. More yarn

10. Fiberspheres

Stop in, call, or order online.

Holiday Shipping

Christmas is fast approaching and we have great gifts in stock. For your gifts to arrive in time for the holiday, please place all orders by December 16. After this date, we cannot guarantee that your purchase will arrive in time for the holidays.

If you'll be in the area, we will keep our normal business hours through December 23. December 24 we will be open until 1:00 pm, then it's off to help Santa (and finish up those hand-knit gifts we're frantically working on).

We at Bonnie's hope you are having a happy holiday season!

Darkhorse Fantasy Yarn

Bonnie's now carries Darkhorse Fantasy yarn, a wonderfully soft acrylic yarn. It's washable and perfect for child and adult sweaters, afghans, and anything else you want to create. The nylon content will make this yarn wear forever, and there 90 colors colors to choose from. At only $5.50 for a 205-yard skein, it's a great value too. A small child's sweater takes less than two skeins. Stop by and check out our new model!

The Fibersphere

Have you been knitting in public and had trouble keeping your yarn from rolling away? The Fibersphere was designed with this problem in mind and will protect your yarn from any unwanted damage or outside elements. It opens easily and you can swap yarn out mid-project, without having to cut your yarn. It comes in two sizes, a 5-inch diameter and 7-inch diameter, and two colors, clear and pink. For every pink Fibersphere sold, 5% of the profits are donated to breast cancer research.

The Fibersphere is a must have for any knitter! Add one (or two) to your Christmas list.

New this week!

Bonnie's is excited to announce that Wagtail yarns are now in stock. The fine kid mohair from Australia is wonderful to work with. Be sure to stop in and check out the beautiful scarf model.

More great gift ideas

Christmas is fast approaching and we've got great gifts in stock. We have a variety of knitting bags to choose from. Knitters will love the great, functional designs and non-knitters will love the fun styles. Several of the designs are made by Vietnamese women, who receive a portion of the proceeds. Stop in, or check out the website, and check out these great gifts!

Christmas gift ideas

We've just received new T-shirts for knitters! My daughter came up with the design after announcing one day that she'd rather be knitting than helping her husband hang drywall - I think we can all relate to that! New sizes are on the way, Large, Extra Large, and Extra Extra Large.

Be sure to add this fun T-shirt to your Christmas list!

27 Knititing Days Until Christmas

We hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving and are enjoying the start of the holiday season. For all you fellow knitters, there are only 27 knitting days until Christmas. If you're in need of any ideas for great gifts, stop by, call, or email.

I've been known to give a few gifts with the needles still attached. So, don't be afraid of starting any big projects this late in the season-they'll understand.

Happy Holidays from Bonnie and her elves.

BRRRRRRR, it is really cold here in Minnesota! However, we knitters don't mind the cold much, it's a perfect reason to knit! We have gotten lots of new yarns again, they just keep coming out with more and cooler stuff! Noro Kureyon has new sock weight yarn. Of course the colors are just like the regular Kureyon. Trekking has a new Handpaint. Great colors! Socks are hot, and we have the new colors of Tofootsie as well. Check out our web site for info.
Keep knitting.....Bonnie
