what’s up
Sorry for the late response to the question about sarah burton’s website- it is verdigrisknits.com. She was so great and you need to check out her website!
There are only 11 seats left on the bus to stitches, so if you are considering going to Sitches with us on aug. 27, you need to send in your check for $50. or come by the shop. We can not hold spaces or take charge cards. If the bus fills up, we will hold checks for a second bus.
Dates for Susannie’s crochet clutch bag (Photo in previous blog and I will send new photos of a two she just finished)are Mon. June 5 and 12 from 10-12 or 6-8 pm. cost is $25 plus materials. You will have enough yarn for a small coin purse as well. Call or come in to reserve your space. Hook size will depend on the yarn you choose, so bring a variety of hook sizes with you if you have them, or we can sell you the right size for your yarn.
Next tues, May 24 (and all tues nights until July 31), will be Classic Elite Yarn Knit-A-Long knit night from 5-7 pm. I just got in 3 of the spring books from Classic Elite that I did not have before so there are some more options for projects. You can do as many projects as you want, and you will be entered in the drawing depending on how many balls of yarn you purchase. Connie is already on her second bag knit out of Sprout. I think she is going to make them for Christmas gifts! Remember, one person from each store wins a $100.oo gift basket from Classic Elite Yarns!
We are still collecting the pennants for the knitting bomb day. Bring them into the shop when you visit , but definitely by June 6th.
