Around Town
It's the bleak mid-winter so it's time to get out your knitting and knit yourself something to make you happy! The holiday crush of deadline knitting is over and now you can get to work on that project you've been putting off - as always we have beautiful yarns for sweaters, hats, socks, scarves and anything else you want to knit or crochet. We stocked up on knitting and crochet books for the holidays and still have a few left - stitch calendars, notebooks and puzzles too!
One of our favorite yarn companies, Berroco, Inc. is sponsoring a fun knit-along this year- the Cable Craze Blanket Knit-Along. Every month they will publish one pattern for a cable-themed 16 inch square- at the end of 12 months you will have 12 different cable-centric squares to create your blanket. This project features Berroco's Vintage (worsted weight) yarn, a great yarn for a blanket because of its machine-washability. For general information about the blanket knit-along go to Cable Craze Blanket Knit-Along to learn more. We will be hosting times on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 1-3 pm to work on your blanket. All the staff is participating, so come in and join us!! You can print out the patterns at home or we can print them for you at the shop. Vintage comes in a huge array of colors, so there is something for everyone!
Happy Hour is alot of fun - we are meeting once a month on the first Friday of every month for wine, cheese, and knitting in the shop- stop in from 5 to 7 pm on the first Friday of the month to join us.
If you are looking to learn to knit, come in for our drop-in beginning knitting lessons: 10:30 to 11:30 on Saturdays. Lessons are $10.00 with purchase of materials. No need to register, just stop in. Come in a little early to pick out your yarn and get your tools!
Stop in and get some ideas! We hope to see you in the shop!
