Dear Yarn Friends,
One great advantage of having a local yarn shop is getting to know so many folks with such varied interests and talents. Once in a while, we even get to play “match maker” by introducing you to each other. We’ve got several events coming up that will help gather our friends together. Please join us!
I know we just emailed you recently about Worldwide Knit in Public Day coming up on Saturday, June 10th, but we’ve upped our game and are inviting you to join us that day here, outside, for a potluck picnic. Bring your favorite finger food to share, your chair, a beverage, and, of course, your work-in-progress. We’ll be hosting the event all day, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Have you wished you knew how to crochet? Are your crocheting skills a bit rusty? We can help with that. Amanda will be teaching a beginner level crochet class using the Just Feel Festive shawl pattern. The 3-session class will meet on June 23, June 30 and July 7 from 3:30 – 5:30. Cost will be $45 for all three, and includes the price of the pattern. | |
Amanda created the shawl pictured using Cascade 220 Fingering, held double, to achieve the ombre effect. You could do the same, or make it striped, or solid, or you could use a DK weight yarn. You will need 1600-1900 yards of fingering weight, or 800-900 yards of DK weight to make the shawl, plus an “H” hook. If you’d like Amanda to help you choose your yarn, stop in on a Friday. Sign up for the class by email, phone, Facebook or simply stop by. She’s got space for 6 students, so sign up soon! |
We hope to see you soon! Maybe on Saturday, June 3 at the Fiber Frolic!
Sarah, MaryLou and Amanda
