Ooh, a sign!

April 12th, 2010

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!
