The new class schedule is ready! Check it out–all your regular classes are back, and we have some super specialty classes to offer. The ever-popular Sock Class is back with a couple new options to try, the Oops! class will help you remedy the more common mistakes we all make with less grief, and Around the Block lets you fearlessly tackle a small spiral-knit afghan, with refinements that make the back as pretty as the front. Kauni yarn (which Anne used for hers), with the slow color changes it features, is particularly well-suited to this project (though by no means the only way to go), which brings us to our next topic.
A Kauni trunk show! We just received a 10-garment trunk show of items made from Kauni yarn which is truly stunning. The garments range from scarves and shawls to a toddler sweater, an adult swing sweater, a dramatic long vest, and a spectacular blanket. Techniques used are generally simple, as the color-changes in the yarn are so dramatic they do all the visual work for you. The trunk show will be here through 12/22, and really is a must-see. We’ll be taking special orders for the yarn throughout the show as well as afterward. If you might be considering taking the Around the Block class or knitting a similar item on your own, this is a great opportunity to see what various colors of this yarn look like knitted up, and a perfect time to order it so that it is here in time for the class.
HOLIDAY HOURS: Through 12/22 we’ll be open our regular hours (Mon 12-8, Tues & Wed. 10-6:30, Thurs and Fri 10-5:30, and Sat 10-4). We will be CLOSED 12/23 through 12/25. We’ll open with limited hours for 12/26 through 12/29: 12/26 noon till 4 pm, 12/27 noon till 8:30, 12/28 & 29 noon till 4 pm. We’ll be closed 12/30 through 1/1/13, and then it will be back to regular hours beginning 1/2/13.
A couple of social knitting and crocheting notes: Knit, Nibble and Sip for December will take place 12/22, and we’ll make this a late-night one for anyone who wants to stay till 10 pm and finish up some last-minute projects, or just take a breather from the holiday rush. Please join us! Also, to lessen the sting of the abbreviated hours we’ll have UFO night on 12/27–bring out those UnFinished Objects!
I’ve been very long-winded and packed a lot of info into one communication, so if you have any questions by all means call us for clarification at 734 451-0580.
