The Knaughty Knitter

Want a cute little guy like this

for your very own?

 
You can make this in the needle felting class at the end of June.  This one is Eva's but she'll teach you to make your very own cute little bear.  The class is  Saturday, June 23rd from 12- 4pm.  Call soon to register, space is limited.

Just so you know....There is a lot of Cascade 220 sport that came in yesterday, as well as some 220 and 128 and lovely sock yarns

 

Tatting Anyone?

I have just posted an Intro to Needle Tatting class for July 7 & 14.  This is a 6 hour beginning tatting class where you will learn the basics and get a chance to go home and practice a bit before learning more advanced patterns.  There are only 5 spaces so sign up early to get your space reserved.

Come in, get out of the heat

and sit with one of the new magazines that came in today.  There is the new Jane Austen Knits (can I just say fabulous).  There are lots of pretty, romantic knits in there.  Then there is the new magazine Noro.  OMG, the stuff is just gorgeous.  The rep is coming next week and if you come  in before then I will write down what you want and order it.  There are several "gotta knit it" projects in there.  Wait til you see them.  I was just thinking this morning I need a new summer tote and hey, there is a great pattern for one in the magazine.  Guess I will have to start it today.  If you haven't tried the Noro yarns yet, you should.  The colors are awesome and there is nothing quite like it still.

And one of the books that came in today is the cutest thing I have seen in a while - Meerkat Knits. They are completely adorable in all their little outfits.

I got presents this morning

There came a couple of large boxes of buttons! There are about twice the variety of buttons now...It's a lot. And the yarn rep from several interesting companies came in this morning. Karen is going to have my head...but there are pretty cool things coming in over the next few months......

I am trying to get a newsletter out..but those buttons distracted me..maybe tomorrow.

42 - That's the number of stitches for

this month's afghan square - and bring at least two colors

 

Did you know?

We can look up your patterns on Ravelry on the new big TV and you don't have to guess at yarn requirements for the pattern you saw and forgot to bring with you.   At a loss for what you want to make ? - we can use that to give you some ideas too.

And that we are now open on Saturdays an hour later - 10-4pm. And Fridays an hour earlier - at 10am.

And that since I couldn't find milliner's wire for my sunhat anywhere in town, I ordered some and now we carry a small supply of it here at the store.  Milliner's wire is different from plain old wire in that it has some memory is a bit harder to put a permanent crimp in by accident and is covered with cloth so you don't have bare wire on your head.

And for something totally unrelated - The Farmer's Market opens tomorrow at the Agri Center!  I can't wait.  If I am a few minutes late opening tomorrow that's why....

We are open now

It is very good to finally be back open. We are working on enhancing the class schedule for the summer and more of that will be on the classes page in the next few days.  And did you know we are now open 7 days a week?  Yup that's right, no more pulling up on Wednesday just to remember as you get to the door that we are closed.  See you all soon.

Tomorrow is the Day!

We reopen tomorrow at 10am.  Most things are in place thanks to the TRULY AMAZING WORK of Stacie, Lisa, and Karen! They are all really wonderful and hard working and I appreciate them a lot.  They did most of it while we were gone and I got to come back and see it without having to do it all.

You're gonna be wondering how all this stuff fit in that little house.....Okay there are a few new yarns but really most of it was already there and you can just see it now.
