Happy Dad’s Day!
Okay it is Sun. and I am at the shop, because I had to send out the pictures from the Nuno Felting class yesterday! WOW! The class was wonderful and everyone had such a great time. Annette Browning, of Kentucky Blue Fiber Co. did a wonderful job getting the creativity of everyone going. The materials she brought were so beautiful and inspiring that there was no way the class was not going to be a success. I have posted pictures of the hand dyed silk scarves she brought with her which are the basis for the whole project. The colors were so vibrant and beautiful it was hard to pick. Then the students had to choose from the many colors of roving. The resulting scarves were gorgeous!
You can see from the photos the proccess and the finished project-all in 4 hours of time! The class was such a success that Annette is coming back to do it again for those who missed this one (she is also working on a felted slipper class possibly to be held before christmas!). The next class is scheduled for Sat. Sept. 17 from 11-3 pm. Cost is $85.- which will include all your materials. She also will bring extra silk scarves and roving to purchase- so you can do more felting at home! Call or come in to save you space!

This is a great project to learn some different stitches and do a little bit of color work!
We are taking names and checks for the 2nd bus to STITCHES! The bus leaves keystone at the Crossing at 7:00 am on sat Aug. 27, 2011, and arrives at Stitches Midwest in Schaumberg, Il. around 10 am (local time) when the market opens, shop until 5 pm ( Chicago time), then get back on the bus and arrive in indy around 10:30 pm. It is a really easy and fun way to go to Stitches. Check out knittinguniverse.com- stitches midwest for availiability of afternoon classes. The bus is locked when you are not on it, so you can leave a cooler with food and a drink for the ride home! Your $50. check will hold a seat for you on this second bus. If the bus does not sell out we will send back your check. I really think that it will not be hard to sell out because we have never filled the first bus so quickly! Don’t wait too long, the cost of the seats goes up to $60 on July 15th.
SAVE THE DATE: Those participating in the Classic Elite Knit a Long – we will have a get together on Sat July 30th at 2 pm for a party celebrating our accomplishments!
