Knit Bats and New Store Hours

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

In part, we really wanted to post this adorable knit bat, but we also wanted to let you know that The Little Knittery will begin extending its hours beginning November 1 to Wed-Sat noon-7pm and Sun noon-5pm. Upcoming classes include (you guessed it!) Crocheted Bat, Cabled Handwarmers, Crocheted Granny Square, Mistakes Class (how to fix), Magic Loop Class, and Knit Beret. Prices range from $25-$50 and do not include the cost of materials, but you do get 15% off anything purchased for the class. The new yarns sound lovely: cashmere blends, fair trade organics and hand-painted merinos. [RackedWire]
