We participated in the 2nd Sunday event on King Street on the 13th, and it was great fun. The weather was beautiful and we had shoppers on the street (where we set up our table) as well as in the shop. Please know that there is a free parking voucher on line for the garages for this event. We will try to continue this event with the other merchants as long as the weather is beautiful... Sarah and William were on the street giving away patterns and selling discounted yarns and offering to teach newbies to knit. Look for this event to continue in March on the 13th again.

Our back room was reduced to 50% off for Valentine's Day Specials (which we created for ourselves.) We will leave the room at this reduced rate for your continued enjoyment. There are several great yarns which the vendors have discontinued for next year so we have done the same. The selections are good with large quantities in some of the yarns while supplies last. It's a great time to stock up on yarns for scarves for next year's presents or a new accessory for yourself.

There are also two more beginner type classes if you aren't ready to read a chart and knit lace. I have completed a vest which is knit in garter stitch (all you have to do is knit).. You can learn to make button holes and follow a pattern since you can knit in one piece until you reach the armholes... Any worsted weight yarn will work so you can knit for any type of weather. I knit mine out of Noro and used one of several colors. Mine matches anything.... Class will begin on Tuesday, March the first at 2 pm. You can start anytime this month, but please call ahead so we can add you to the list.

Sarah is going to teach the magic loop method of knitting in the round. If you are one of those customers who hates double pointed needles --- then this is the class for you. The magic loop can be used for anything that you knit in the round. Sarah is teaching this method to knit fingerless gloves. The cost of the class is $20 and this includes a ball of yarn, pattern, and instructions as well as Sarah's expert assistance. All you need is a set of needles in an 8, 9, or 10 which are 32 inches long or longer. The yarn calls for a 9 and you can go up or down depending on your regular knitting tension. This class will be on Wednesday, March 9th at 4 pm and one class should be sufficient for this project.

Remember: 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. AND private lessons are always available for $20 an hour for whatever type of help you might need. Please call ahead and schedule your "help session" so we can be sure that some one is available to help with your project.
