Store Hours For Canadian Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving comes a bit earlier north of the 44th parallel in Canada, it has something to do with our harvest being earlier, therefore we dine earlier. We are open regular store hours (12 to 6 pm) on Saturday & Sunday, and closed on Monday. Have a great weekend, wherever you are!
Saturday October 11: 12 to 6 pm
Sunday October 12: 12 to 6 pm

Frankie Sweater
Something new from PetiteKnit … The Frankie Sweater! My preferred yarn for this project is Sandnes Garn Double Sunday, a soft merino crepe that knits beautifully and won’t itch.
Construction
The Frankie Sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked along the back of the neck to shape the neckline. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle. The Frankie Sweater is worked with narrow stripes.
Size
The Frankie Sweater is designed to have approx. 20 cm [7¾ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 20 cm [7¾ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95 100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches].
