2014 arrives!

 

2014 arrives this week — can you believe it?  We’ve been looking forward to many exciting opportunities to knit and crochet together and want to mention a few to you:
Our store hours this last week of 2013 are:
Monday, December 30          5:30 pm – 8 pm
Tuesday, December 31         10 am – 3 pm
Wednesday, January 1 from 11 am – 3 pm —- Start 2014 with a new project and of course we’ll have our yearly dose of black-eyed peas for good luck.
Have you seen the two new KAL’s on Ravelry?  It seems like they’re both about decision making.
Downtown Abbey Mystery KALstarts January 5 with the first episode of the show.  The KAL concept seems a bit different this time - various clues to go along with each episode.  550 yards of your favorite DK will make a shawl.
And then there’s Ysolda Teague’s Follow Your Arrow Mystery KnitAlong.  For five weeks starting January 13 you will get clues that you get to choose from.  After making your own decision each week you wind up with a fingering weight shawl (680 yards of single color or 360/320 of two complimentary colors).
Check out both of these.  When you drop by the shop, I’m sure someone will be working on at least one of them.  It will be interesting to see what choices our knitters make and what beautiful results appear.
Our own class calendar is starting to fill up.  Just when we finish one holiday, here comes another.  For your Valentine’s day sweetheart you could make the Booga Bag with Virginia or the Heart Shaped Felted Bowl with Rose.  And if your resolution is to learn new techniques then there’s the Bavarian Twisted Stitches Intro or the always popular Continental Knitting Total Immersion, both with Rose.  And finally, if you or someone you know wants to start knitting again or totally start from scratch, we’re also offering Knit Academy – 4 weeks of learning the basic stitches and techniques to get you well on the way many successful projects.
Again, we thank you for a wonderful 2013 and look forward to seeing you in 2014 with new yarns and new projects for you and yours.
