We're moving things around in the store. Some of you think we do this all the time, and to some extent we do, but this is a bigger overhaul. We're putting all the sportweight yarns together so it's easier for you to find. All the Brown Sheep brand is going to be together, and soon we'll be better stocked in the spring and summer fibers. Let us know if you need help finding anything!
An awesome number of you have responded to our online survey. Thanks so much! We really do want to know what you think--and are planning some new things--and your input is very helpful.
After a lot of preliminary investigation, we've decided to cancel this year's KnitOut/Crochet Too. We're really sorry about that, but things just weren't coming together and we decided we'd better put it on hold. This is a large, complex (and expensive!) undertaking--maybe we can do it next year!
Looking for a job? Work in HR and want an excuse to spend a couple hours out of the office? Join the Knit and (K)network Group on Friday afternoons from 1-3 PM. We know we've got some customers who've been 'right-sized' (like they weren't the right size to begin with!), and we're offering a Friday afternoon reprieve from job searching. And who knows who you might meet, who knows somebody or knows about an opportunity, or who can just perk up your spirits? Yup, we'll have the coffee and tea brewing!
We're also looking for A Few MORE Good Men (Who Knit)! We'd like to get a men's knit night started. Please email or call if you'd be interested in getting this off the ground--there's a $5 coupon in it for every man who attends the first meeting!
The Sunday KAL participants are having a great time! Their first project is a very cool felted bag knit from Poems. It's in the new Wisdom Colors pattern book. We don't just know yet when these will be done, but if you'd like to get in on this, feel free to suggest a project! Cost is $5/session.
Be sure to check out the class schedule. We added a some more Saturday classes and workshops. We've also got lots of special-interest and skill-building classes--not to mention our exclusive afghans.
Did we schedule a class you were interested in at the wrong time? Is there a specific technique you'd be interested in? Please let us know. Your feedback on classes is important and will be taken into consideration when scheduling.
Want some knitting help? You are always welcome to come in with a question, and most of us can answer up to an intermediate-level question. If you need a teacher, though, we've got a drop-in time on Thursdays from 1-3 at a charge of $5. This is the perfect time to enjoy hanging out with other knitters and get some help with a challenge or something you just don't understand. This time isn't a substitute for a lesson--we'll let you know if we think you need that kind of dedicated time and attention.
The Lake County KTogether Meetup meets here on the first Tuesday and third Thursday of the month, from 7-9. For more info, go to http//knitting.meetup/499/boards. Crocheters are welcome, too! This is a good-sized group that has LOTS of fun together!
Crocheters of the Lakes meets here the 3rd Monday of the month, from 6:30-8:30. New members of all skill levels are welcome!
