WHAT’S NEW?
SOCK WORKSHOP WITH DEBY:
Tuesday afternoons, 1:00 to 4:00.

Supplies needed:  100g fingering-weight yarn, two size 1 or 2 16” circular needles.
Cost: $10 for the entire three-hour block.  No registration needed; drop-ins welcome!

For you Michigan Snowbirds, if you’re not in an area with a LYS and you need something for your next knitting project, email us or call to see if we have something you like.  I can take credit cards over the phone, and I’m happy to send you whatever you need to satisfy your fiber craving!
FEBRUARY WORKSHOP:
Sweater Workshop:  Learn just about everysweater technique imaginable!  The sweater sampler is knit from the bottom up in the round. You will learn how to fair isle, add a pocket, a belt, among other things.  You will also learn how to measure your gauge, although gauge is not mandatory for the success of this particular workshop.  Many knitters avoid sweaters because they don’t have a nice finished look.  This will give you some tools to overcome that fear.

Happy Third Anniversary to us!  I can hardly believe it’s been three years since I first opened on March 10, 2007.  That was the day after my dad suffered a heart attack that we all thought would finish him.  But crazy Irishman that he was, he wasn’t going anywhere quite yet, and he told me to GET OUT THERE AND OPEN THAT STORE!  And so I did. 

The past three years have enriched my life with new friends and new experiences, and I wouldn’t have traded them for anything.  Thank you, all!

So here’s what’s happening:

CLASSES: 
The class schedule will change over the winter months as follows:
