Back from Summer vacation

Well summer is offically over for me even though I am still finishing up cotton projects. I think baby garments can be made from cotton all year round!!!

I want to extend a great big THANK YOU to Diane Leeman who filled in at the store all summer. Many of you commented on what an asset she has been to the store. We hope she sticks around this fall.

Thank you also to Marlene And Linda who kept things running smoothly so Nancy and I could enjoy Maine(Rain and all).

Our continued prayers for a full recovery for Sue. I haven't seen her but I hear she is driving now and getting back to a more normal routine.

Store hours are back to the regular schedule. Keep checking the postings regarding being open on Sunday afternoons!!!

New classes begin the week of Sept 15th. Call to sign up!

New yarns coming in any day now. I will write about them as soon as they come in!! I can't wait

SUMMER HOURS

Has it been that long since we signed in to post? Things have been busy at the shop. As you know Sue has been out of work for a while and we all miss her terribly. Everyone one is pitching in to fill her hours so those of you that usually come up to the shop on Thursday, Friday and Saturday may see Nancy , Marlene or Kate. We will help you any way we can.

Just because the summer has hit us quickly don't think we haven't been planning for Fall. Many new yarns are scheduled for September delivery. But you don't have to wait until then to be inspired. New yarns arrive all through the summer.

Please note our summer hours which go into effect on Monday June 23.

Sunday and Monday-closed
Tuesday-Friday-10:00-5:00
Saturday-10:00-3:00

Whats New

Just returned from the NENEA needlework show. What can you expect come the fall? More luxurious yarns in simple designs. Cable are still in style. Socks and scarves are still the number one sellers. Nancy and I almost got buried in the Schaefer booth. The colors and fibers were to dye for. Anyone unfamiliar with this company should check out there web site for true inspiration.

April 19,2007 New Saturday Hours

Please be advised that starting April 19th we will be closing every Saturday at 4:00 pm.

Think Spring

Happy Spring to Everyone,

I hope you are getting a chance to come by the shop to see whats new. As the weather gets warmer(yes it will get warmer) some people stop knitting. They can't picture themsleves working on a beautiful wool sweater as the mercury climbs. Give cotton and cotton blend yarns a chance. They make beautiful 3 season garments. Try some of the newer fibers such as soy,bamboo and linen blends. All of our new yarns have great patterns if you need to be inspired.

Quick note
