Knit Happy Clubs met this month and it's great to see "show and tell" and watch new friendships develop over fibers. It's not too late to join this group - just a pro-rated price since you have missed three months of fun. Call the shop if you are interested for more details. Clubs meet on the first Tuesday and first Saturday of the month and there is always a technique to "learn" or "relearn". One member said that she hasn't learned as much from the class materials as she has from the conversation and questions asked by the group.

Crochet and Knitalongs started in March and they are still working along on the projects. William is teaching basic crochet with Classic Elite Cricket yarns and this is the class that gets to draw for the Classic Elite "goodie basket" when the bags are completed. We will have a drawing on April 25th so you can still join in this group.

Briana's group is knitting a sweater from the top down and you can always jump in and work with this group.

If you are working with someone you are held accountable and it becomes a race to see who finishes first....

A new shipment of Malabrigo Arroyo has arrived. This is the dk weight yarn in the same wonderful hand dyed colors that we all love and adore. Madelintosh is dyeing a new shipment for us of their Tosh DK and lace weight yarns. It takes 10 days for them to complete their dye/dry/pack/ and ship process. The yarn is truly created just for that order so each order takes at least 3 months to process. Keep an eye out for this delivery because it will take another three months for another delivery from this company. It's beautiful and a true work of art.

Berroco, Rowan, Classic Elite, Euro Yarns and Knitting Fever have all shipped their new spring yarns.

We have a new vendor: Shibui has shipped their yarns. This company is a little edgy sorta like Habu. The pattern books are unusual and the yarns we chose have silk in the blend. New for KNIT.

Misti Alpaca has shipped a new spring yarn in multi-colored and kettle dyed colors. These are cotton blends in dk weight and a little different cotton/silk fiber.

It's really the perfect time to come and pick out a new spring/summer project.

Just when we thought that there weren't any new needles that we had to have.... Knitter's Pride has created an interchangeable cubics needle set. Yes ---- square bamboo needles in an interchangeable set. This just adds to the knit picks sets, dreamz sets, addi and addi lace, denise.... AND double point sets in dreamz and knit picks in metal and wood. These sets make travel so much easier since it's all in one set. I always pack my knitting before I pack my clothes. It's so much easier to buy another pair of jeans or black pants rather than search for a new project. It's never gotten cool enough for me this winter so I'm thinking about packing for the mountains....

New Namaste back packs are here in several great colors. Perfect for packing your knitting or whatever.... for your next adventure.

It's not too late to sign up for Sarah's Magic Loop class on March the 27th. It's a fantastic technique for avoiding double pointed needles. You can bring in a hat or sleeve or sock and Sarah will show you how to work this "Magic". Please call ahead. Class is from 2 - 4 and the cost is $10 for this one time technique class.

This is your spring opportunity. Sarah will be available on Tuesdays (2-4) to help you complete anything that's "stuck" in your knitting bag. Now is the time to finish those winter projects, Christmas stockings, one of a kind socks, hats that aren't quite there.... so that you can pack up something that is ready for wear when it gets cold (if it ever does...) and start on something lighter for the spring and summer. Call ahead and schedule your 30 minute slot with Sarah.... We will offer this service for $5 for 30 minutes of help. It's a great incentive to complete those unfinished "objects".

If Tuesdays don't work for you then please call and we'll try to accommodate your schedule.

Remember that we can always schedule a private lesson for $20/hour for any knitting or crocheting skill that you need. Just call 937-8500 to schedule.

Beginner Class 100 (learn to cast on and knit) every Wednesday night at 5:00 or Beginner Class 101 (purl and cast off) for $20. Please call ahead so we can prepare for your class-time.
