It’s On!!
Okay, so the NFL guys have gotten things straighted out! Now we ( and I include myself in this group) need to get those Super Scarves that we have started out of our knitting bags and finish them and turn them in. We will have at least 2 more Super Scarf Knit Nights. The first will be Thurs Sept. 8 from 5-8 pm (the 2nd- tba). There is no fee for this. It is just a night to come and work on your scarves.
The other good news is that the 2nd bus to Stitches is a go!! The Bus trip is Sat. Aug. 27, 2011. We still have some seats, so if you know anyone who has not signed up yet, tell them to get their checks for $60. in to the shop. We also need e-mails and cell phone numbers. We will be making a stop in Lafayette, if that is more convenient just let us know. The bus leaves Keystone at the crossing at 7:00 am and returns around 10 pm. Call the shop if you have any questions.
Tomorrow night (Tues) is the last Classic Elite Knit Night. We will have the drawing for the $100 gift basket on Sat the 30th. I need to see your finished project before then. We will meet Sat at 1pm to show off our items and have the drawing. Don’t forget!!
Jane is back safe and sound from her cruise to Bermuda! Our next cruise will be to Alaska in 2013, so start saving your change. We will hopefully have more info in the near future. The cruise we did in March was amazing, and I think that Alaska will also be fantastic!
Next overnighter is Sat. Aug 13. It starts at 7:30 pm and goes to whenever! Cost is $20. plus a small snack to share. If you think your snack is great, bring in a copy of the recipe. We are thinking of putting together a mass. ave. overnighter cookbook! I will take care of the pizza and drinks for the night so don’t eat dinner before you come!! No need to sign up, just show up!
Don’t forget that Mass. Ave. Knit Shop will be closed the week of Aug 22-28 for Stitches. We will reopen on the 29th.
ROWAN IS HERE!
okay yes it is 10:00 at night, and I am at the shop to send out this message-see how much I do for you!.
Rowan yarn and many books came in today, but we have only opened the books. We will, depending on how busy it is tomorrow, open the yarn boxes. If you want to come down and shop out of the boxes, I will not stop you!
I had to show you this great wrap we designed. It takes all of two ballS of the Himilaya silk ($24. per sk) and size 5 (cast on), 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10(bind off) needles (those we will also sell you if you don’t have them already). Don’t let that scare you. This is a great garment over a tank top or a dress! It is so easy!! The model and knitter is Julie T. I am also working on one, so you can view it at the shop.
CLOSEUP!
these are just a few of the great colors the Himilaya silk comes in- like Julie you may want to make a few!
Do you love the Tab can and coffee cup in the backround? Who can take time to sleep when there is all this great yarn around?
STAY COOL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND-SUSAN
