What's New: 8.5.09

We are undergoing sidewalk construction to cure a drainage problem at our shop. The entrance at the front is now open again. Thanks to all for their patience during our tussle with Mother Nature. We hope that all will be good as new by the end of the week or so.

Fourth Annual Grandview Retreat
November 13, 14, & 15.
Lodging (double occupancy), meals, breaks, & Instruction = $350.00. $150 down holds your spot. Final payment due October 20, 2009. Registration for Alumni Retreat Goers begins Wednesday, August 5. Registration for New Attendees begins, Tuesday, August 11.

Thursday Night Special: I am working with Grandview to develop a Thursday night option (without meals) for $50 or less when you book a spa service. Details will be forthcoming. I visited the new conference center last weekend and it will provide great accommodations for our group.

Upcoming Book by Jane

Our project will be a new design by Jane Slicer Smith. It is a textured vest or sweater that has great lines and easy knitting. Project pictures are at the shop and I will be starting the garment next week I hope. Anyone who has been to Grandview for our Retreat has had a wonderful experience. The size of our group is limited.

Class Update: I am working furiously to try and get the new class schedule into Dawna's hands for graphic work and publication. It will be at least 2 weeks before the printed version is ready. I am hoping to get a PDF available in the next week or so. Sorry for the delay. Life gets in the way of great plans sometimes.

Upcoming Classes: Wallaby Sweater begins August 8; Cupcake Hat starts August 10 & Lamb Lovie begins August 19.

What's New!

We are still making room for new yarns which are arriving daily. Lopi & Lopi Lite and their patterns have been moved to the Sale Loft along with Sublime Aran. We have replaced only the Sublime Aran with Cashmerino Aran. The Cashmerino Aran is identical in knit to Sublime Aran with a wider color range and a more reasonable price per skein. Plus, it's washable!

Interweave Knits Harmony Series "Edgings & Trims" has arrived and it has a great selection of of ideas for adding interest to hats, sleeves, collars, and more.

New to us is Angora 80 which has a great hand and the angora can be brushed to a wonderful loft. I have an intriguing scarf planned for fall.

We are restocked with the Honey Guy products including the cremes and super Anti Bite creme. The first shipment sold out in a week. Tina swears by these products.

We are also restocked with Appalachian Baby Kits. These kits contain patterns and organic yarn that create a wonderful gift for that special wee one. Also new are the hand carved baby spoons.
