I'm writing this as I anticipate turkey/ dressing and Thanksgiving and can't believe that it will all be over when I send this to you. The holiday season runs by too quickly while enjoying my children/friends, extra eating, and merriment. Hopefully your Thanksgiving was festive and the needles and hooks are flying away.

We have holiday hours again this month. We will close early on Friday the 23rd at 2 o'clock and will be closed Saturday the 24th for our Christmas Holiday. We will re-open on Tuesday the 27th for regular hours until Saturday the 31st and will be closing early to celebrate the beginning of a New Year.

Thanks to your support, Sarah and Briana will continue running the Sunday afternoon knitting sessions throughout December. Just another opportunity for you to come and gather supplies for gift giving projects and/or do the "elf thing" and knit in secret. Class instruction will be provided for making an Advent Calendar with small versions of mittens and hats. Class will be $10/class so please call ahead. See the picture in the shop of these adorable miniatures strung with numbers for the "count down". This idea was seen in the Garnet Hill Catalogue and it's another idea for ornaments if you don't want to make 24.....

Sara Baldwin has 2 Christmas stockings for sale in the shop. They are $100 each - so for those of you who want the "real deal" - handknit stocking -- hurry while these are still here. She also takes orders to match your "family heirlooms" so plan now for next year while the stockings are out of the attic.

KNIT is thankful for many things - and especially our loyal customers. We are collecting money for the World Vision Gift Catalog to "Give a gift. Change a life." by sending sheep to the next family in need. This organization helps families in over 100 countries. "The healthy ewe gives healthy nutritious milk for essential protein, vitamins, and minerals, plus plenty of wool to knit warm sweaters and blankets." Each sheep costs $105 and it's a wonderful way to give to those whose needs are even greater than our own. For more information about this organization check out their web-site at www.worldvisiongifts.org.

Just drop your extra change into the box for the "sheep donation." Small change for us will make a huge difference to
a family in need.

Sarah is offering classes on those "last minute gifts.." She will teach slippers using any of the CocoKnits Patterns. Classes are available any time on Tuesdays. Just call and let us know what works for your schedule. There are several great patterns and (according to Sarah) they are quick and easy knits.

She will also offer a class on the "magic loop" (while knitting a basic hat) for anyone who wants to continue to avoid double pointed needles. This technique can be used for knitting in the round for any type of garment or sleeves, etc. Sarah can teach you this technique on Wednesday or Saturday afternoon so call and we'll schedule a class for you.

Great selection of Gedifra Violena in wonderful colors ($5.00/skein) - perfect for knitting washcloths - any stitch pattern. Great for practicing new stitches while knitting a handknit wash cloth for quick and easy gift.

William is knitting a colorful "loopy" scarf from the Scarf Calendar Book - and will gladly help you with your own loops. He has also packaged his crocheted watermelon potholder pattern with yarn. Great gift idea - for $10.00.

Hopefully Charleston will get cool enough for slippers and hats in the next few days and weeks to come. Great items for January and February..... (I hope..)

Great stocking stuffer ideas: Puppy Snips/ Fix It Hooks/ Packages of Assorted Notions.... and Gift Certificates are always available and welcome....

New colors of Dream in Color are on order as well as Madelintosh lace/sock yarns.
Berroco Vintage yarn will soon be available in dk weight and we have every color made on order. New yarns continue to arrive and it will be time soon for spring yarns to arrive -

We are working on a schedule for 2012.. Imagine that?? and our most popular class has been "7 Things That Make or Break a Sweater". We will gladly offer this class whenever it works best for you. Sarah taught it most recently on Tuesday mornings, but we can alter the time that we teach this class. Please email us (or call) and give us your preference. Your New Year's Resolution List should include more knitting and more class-time to improve your skills. This is the best sweater class we have taught since you learn all the abbreviations and tools for completing a sweater while committing to a small garment only. If you don't know any "little people" then you can always donate to a local nursery.

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.
