AMIGURUMI ANIMALS CLASS

Elephant Birdie and Octopus Ally are eager to meet you!
Make any or all of the animals from Tammie Snow's book Tiny Yarn Animals in our next class on Amigurumi. These cute, easy projects are perfect for the beginning crocheter, and a great way to use up small scraps of leftover yarn. Plus, not many can resist squeezing these little guys!

CUSTOMER PROJECT
06.23.2009
Sarah finished her Knitting Pure & Simple shrug for Alex in the Little Girl's Shrug Class. She really made it her own by using a second color for the lace edging and ribbing. I know it will be something that Alex will want to keep forever!
We have just rescheduled our Crochet 101 class, so if the new dates and times work for you, give us a call or stop in to sign up! Crocheting is a great addition to your fiber arts repertoire, or the perfect way to start a new craft. We will be making crocheted bowls in the round out of a lovely wool/recycled silk blend, as well as learning how to work a number of stitches flat.
New dates and times are 3 Wednesdays, July 1st, 8th and 15th from 5:30-7:00pm. Hope to see you there!
KNITTING IN PUBLIC
06.17.2009
World Wide Knit In Public Day was a great success! We really enjoyed teaching the workshops throughout the day and then seeing you all put those skills into action. Thanks to those of you who made it to the shop - it was great to see so many knitters, crocheters and spinners on such a beautiful day to sit outside and knit!
