Life’s a Stitch!

The days are growing shorter and the nights are growing cooler – it must be time to start breaking out the wooly socks and cozy sweaters!  Fall is one of our favorite knitting seasons: festivals, apple picking, raking leaves – all great times to use the things we make out of sticks and string!

We have a schedule full of great classes to fill out your cool-weather wardrobe with mittens, hats, crochet cables, and socks.  You could combine a class with making a holiday gift while learning to make a top-down children’s top or a lacy, leafy scarf.  If you visit one of the wonderful fall fiber festivals and leave with a brand new drop spindle, or fall in love with one in our shop, we have classes to teach you how to spin your own beautiful yarn!

By popular request, we’re offering a couple of our workshops as all-day Saturday classes, and we’re excited to offer a brand new Sunday workshop: Hand Painted Sock Yarn!

We’ve been keeping our UPS delivery person busy, with box after box of fabulous new fall yarns, so stop in and check out what’s new – cozy wool, alpaca, blends and sock yarns…so many new things to try and love!

As always, feel free to come in for help, a nice chat, or just to sit and knit for a bit.

Happy Knitting!

Karen, Linda, Sarah & Van
