HABU JAPANESE FIBERS COMES TO GBOY OVER HALLOWEEN WEEKEND!

How exotic it this easy-to-knit cardigan whipped up in Habu's paper and silk? Perfect for a South Floridian climate, Habu Textiles will simply blow you away with their curious and fun to knit fibers. Choose from textured silks, stainless steel, pineapple fiber, paper, hemp and other interesting and texturous yarns. Takako, who owns Habu will be here in three of our stores for a personal appearance which is truly a special treat in itself! She will teach Japanese pattern reading classes during her visit. There's been a bunch of interest so if you'd like to sign up, please call and reserve your space today. The class is $20 and you will find it fascinating.

Japanese design is timeless, streamlined and lucky for us, easy to knit! This sweater to the left is made in easy rectangles over stockinette. A cinch! You'll be able to touch, feel and try on over 60 different projects. Everything will be sold in kit form and will be discounted 20% for the weekend. So see you in the stores October 29th (my bday!), 30th and on Halloween!
