Knitting 101 starts tonight! $45 for a comprehensive 3 week course is a pretty good deal, man. There are still spaces available. Call or drop by to sign up!
I am so excited because we finally have a pretty, fancy, really visible sign!

You should come by and check it out! It looks so good.

If you like the sign, check out the artist, Jon Stommel. He is so cool and nice and talented! He doesn’t just paint signs for yarn shops, he also does murals and illustrations and stuff.
Also, look, Aslan Trends Glaciar Del Celio:

More summer yarns are rolling in too. I’m so excited for summer and summer knitting. Some of the Wonderknit crowd are working on summer shawls, wraps, and cardigans. We’ve got some great spring classes for fun warm-weather knits! Check out the full class schedule!

The Schaefer party was Saturday. We had so much fun, thanks to all who came out. We plan to bring Andrea back in the future for more cash and carry parties, hopefully with additional lines. If you didn’t make it, check out what you missed:




Furthermore, Amy D done made us some needle cases!

All are hand made by Amy, and every one is different!


Also of note: our hours will be a tad shorter than usual this week while Libby is out of town. Wednesday-Saturday we’ll be open 1:30-7 (instead of 11-7). Drop by and keep Karida, Pat, and Courtney company while I’m gone!
Luv,
Libby
