This ‘n That

Next week is Thanksgiving
(but you already knew that)!!!

And there are 33 days till Christmas!!

 

And on that note… we will close at 1 pm next Wednesday

Speaking of Christmas…

We will make a note of your stitching/knitting wish list to help your loved ones shop more effectively for your Christmas gifts.  Stop by and fill out a card.

And…

Georgie's Santa

Yay!!! Look who is back from the finishers.  Georgie says he will stay in the shop through next Wednesday, then he goes home for Christmas.  She will bring him back after Christmas if we promise to not pet him while he resides here.

Here are a couple detail shots…

Two classes in December

December 7… Setting Up A Project in knitCompanion… $25

If you have an iPad, you need knitCompanion.  It is an amazing app that can do so much.  To help you realize some of it’s potential, we will help you get started.

December 14… Counted Thread Ornament… $25

This will be a recurring class.  The first class features the class on the right.

 

We need your help…

It seems we have lost one of the phones.  Maybe it fell in your bag while you were here and now you are wondering where that phone came from… now you know.  If you’re the lucky one who found it, we’d love to have it back.

 

Finished Objects…

 

 

This one gets a special place in our Finished Objects section.  Meg’s adorable twin grandsons stopped by last week just as Georgie’s granddaughter’s chair was ready to be photographed.  Enjoy a cuteness overload!

Christmas Wish List.

Since Christmas is coming and we all know you want your friends and family to buy you knitting and needlepointing stuff, we thought you might like to make a wish list to leave here at the shop (thanks, Deidre).  Then your loved ones can come in and check with us regarding your perfect gift.   Of course, if your out of town, you can peruse the canvases here on the website to make your wish list.

Chemo Cap Contest

You may have heard that Leona is knitting only Chemo Caps this week.  She started on Monday (November 4) and will continue through next Monday (November 11).  If you can guess how many caps she will finish in that time, you will win a 20% discount on your next purchase.  So far the guesses range from 11 to 42.  Some people have very high expectations.  All are welcome to join her in knitting up some caps to donate.  Drop them off here and we will deliver them.

We are very excited to announce that we now carry Madelinetosh.  This is lush yarn dyed in the most beautiful colors.  We have Pashmina, Tosh dk, Tosh sock, and Tosh lace.
