Clever Knitters,
It's that time of the month again: time for Knitnews!
Be sure you are following us on twitter or facebook to be in-the-know. That's where we announce special sales and new arrivals, as well as any changes to our usual hours (e.g. closure due to illness). You can also see these updates at the top left corner of our website.
Contents of this message (keeping it simple this month, just 2 things):
1. New Stuff - some new arrivals since the new year
2. Classes - Schedules for March & April
1. New Stuff!
Lots of DELIGHTFUL new arrivals since Lexi & Helena went to TNNA. I think 'ZOMG' is an appropriate term here.
Knitpicks - AWESOME interchangeable needles at a super affordable price
Ashford Spindles & 1oz Correidale Roving Knots - in anticipation of our drop spindle class! See below for class details.
Ashford needle-felting supplies - Needles, roving kits, and of course all those 1oz knots!

Lavishea - lotion bars don't rub off on your knitting
Ranco - lovely handpainted sock yarn, sport weight, 75 merino / 25 nylon
Kathmandu - phenomenal aran weight merino tweed with a touch of silk and cashmere

Sierra - 80 cotton / 20 wool worsted weight, ideal for baby things
Eco Duo - back in stock, this 70 alpaca / 30 merino in beautiful blends of natural shades
...with LOTS more coming soon (I think the phrase "March Madness" might need to be repurposed to describe the ridiculous amount of yarn arriving at our shop in the next month)!! Be sure you're on our twitter/facebook so you get the announcement the MINUTE new stuff arrives!

Sat, Apr 16th, 4-6pm
taught by Julie Beck
$25 plus materials
Materials: whatever project YOU want to make that uses beads. Bring all required materials for that project to class. Julie will provide instructions for how to add beads to your knitting by pre-stringing the yarn with the required number of beads, as well as how to bead on-the-fly with a tiny crochet hook, and will walk through examples of how to use both techniques in a few different projects.
Some recommended projects that involve beading: (all ravelry links)
