So let's do a quick update on what we know so far...
We are planning to stay open for the foreseeable future. If at anytime, the team is uncomfortable, we will revisit this decision. We have been cleaning all the surfaces regularly and all you can smell in the shop is Lysol and Bleach - thanks to our Marcie and Dee... We leave it to your best judgement on how to proceed. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call or email us.
Sweater Club will meet this week, Thursday, 12th March at 1 - 4 pm or 6 - 9 pm or Saturday, 14th March at 1 - 4 pm We will be announcing the Spring Sweater(s) at this meeting!
KnitNorth Yarn Crawl, 19th - 22nd March is Still ON! We have lots planned including lots of surface cleaning, Lysol and Bleach! And we also have a number of trunk shows and special appearances.
Two great new publications
We have copies of PomPom available, but we are out of 52 Weeks of Socks which is on re-order. If you would like us to hold a copy, call or email. If you asked us to hold a copy prior to this, we have, so come in by to pick it up.
Friday, 20th March 2020 We are still excited to have Cecelia Campochiaro, the author of Sequence Knitting, joining us for a day long, hands-on workshop based on her latest book, Making Marls. The Workshop is called Exploring Marls and Color, But now it will be on Friday, 4th December 2020 You will have received an email if you were registered for this Class. Should any current registrants cancel, we will open this class to the Waiting List.
Techniques Classes It has been a while since we have done our series of Techniques Classes, so we have decided to bring them back. These classes are designed to focus on one particular technique with various ways to do them. We are going to start with a couple of basics:
Short-Rows - almost every pattern/design we see has short-row shaping. While some of us are familiar with doing short-rows, which one is best to use for which project and, more importantly, why? Join us on Tuesday, 17th March from 1.30 - 3.30 pm to perfect your short-rows The cost of the Class is $25.00 and all materials will be provided.
Seams - very few people like to put their projects together, but a great seam can either make or break a project. There are some very simple tricks to the trade that can make seaming much easier and less of a dreaded part of your knitting / crocheting. Join us on Tuesday, 24th March from 1.30 - 3.30 pm and you will learn to like seams. The cost of the Class is $25.00. Bring a project that needs putting together or bring several 5" blocks of both Stockinette and Garter stitch on which to work.
More Class will be announced shortly.
