Last week we got to know Stephanie a bit more, now it is time to share more about Derek!

derek

Born in Chicago, Derek moved to Minnesota when he was 3 and has spent most of his life here. He’s worked as a chemical engineer for the past 12 years and is excited to be closer to home when he’s at the shop!

travel

Derek enjoys traveling, reading, playing games with friends, and knitting!

Derek learned to knit in 2019 after Stephanie thought he would enjoy the puzzle that comes with knitting. He quickly took to it and was knitting cowls after only a couple of dish cloths. Derek started attending Friday night stitching in late 2021 and took a couple of classes in 2022 to grow his skill set. The Amazing Threads community welcomed him in, and it’s been a large factor in keeping him hooked on knitting.

His favorite project that he has made is the As You Wish MKAL Shawl in Life in the Long Grass Singles.  

 

Mother's Day is May 14th!  Less than two weeks away!  We have some great ideas for the perfect gift for a mother, friend, or caregiver in your life!

We just got a restock from Twice Sheared Sheep including needle cord stoppers and sock rulers!

Don't forget gift cards always make the perfect gift!  Every knitter and crocheter loves to be able to walk in and pick out something that inspires them or they have been waiting for!

 

 

Stephanie's most recently finished project was the Bynx Cowl knit in one skein of Red Stag Fibres Estate DK.  She is offering this as a class starting this Saturday - a great opportunity to learn how to knit cables!

The Comfy and Cozy sweater is a knit pattern in DK weight yarn.  It is a pattern that lets you be creative how you want the color blocks (or solid color) to look!  Rowan Felted Tweed was just restocked and would be a great option!

Love the Striations C2C Market Bag!  This bag is crocheted using aran weight.  Hold two strands of Adriafil Memphis or Uneek DK Cotton together to get to an aran weight in a cotton market bag!
