taming the lion
It seems as though March is thinking about coming in like a lion, so to make sure it goes out the way it should, I am putting together a couple fun activities to help it along.
First…starting this Friday morning (3/2), and every Friday morning thereafter (or at least until school lets out) I would love to get a group together from 9:30am to 11:30am to have a nice relaxing, free, knit/crochet group who would also enjoy listening to books on audio, maybe some soft relaxing music, or poetry, maybe podcasts from an inspirational speaker, that kind of thing. There will be coffee and tea available, and no kids bouncing off the couch…that’s been known to happen here…
Second: We have just finished up Tuesday’s class with Sherri and Saturday’s Lace Class with Heather, and both are willing to start something new. I will post more about those ideas separately. Also, don’t forget about Entry to Entrelac with Amanda, which if we can fill will run on the next couple Saturday afternoons (3/3 and 3/10). Please refer to the post about Entrelac for more info on that awesome class. Thursday nights is always fun with a great group of “Knitiots”…wouldn’t you want to be a Knitiot too?? Come learn to knit and get started on a project any Thursday for only $5/night, 5:30-7:30pm.
Third: I am thinking it is time for an FN Knit Night on March 16th…I can’t say what will happen that night for sure but if you are thinking of attending I would recommend maybe knitting up a fancy little swatch or two just for funsies 😉 sshhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Fourth and Lastly (for now): The following Friday (3/23) will be another FN Knit Night and will be in celebration of Maine Maple Week. There will be lots of Maple tastings and things happening in downtown Skowhegan, and here at Happyknits I am thinking that along with that a “Yarn Tasting” would be nice. I will probably have some Maple something for eats and drinks, but also anyone interesting in trying some new yarn from Classic Elite company can register here to take part in a Knit Night with some brand new yarns that maybe you have never tried before. Anyone who signs up to take part will recieve a small kit with 5 mini skeins of some beautiful yarns, such as Silky Alpace Lace, Alpace Sox, Fresco, Ariosa, Woodland, and Inca Alpaca, also some spring/summer yarns such as Solstice, Soft Linen, Sprout, and Katydid. There will be some free patterns to support the yarns but it may also be a great chance to create a beautiful, luxurious yarn bomb for a special or unique spot in your home or a special little surprise in a loved one’s space. Registration for the Yarn Tasting is $15, and it will run from about 6:00-9:00pm.
Have a great March everybody…I hope to see you all!!
