Approaching April!

Although it does not feel quite like spring yet, our spring yarns are arriving!

We have received Blue Sky Alpaca's new line of Skinny Cotton plus lots of new colors of Sierra Cotton. We also have Katia Linen which comes in beautiful earthy tones. Another new arrival is the Panda Silk which would work great for socks or lace knitting.

We are still waiting for the 100% off ticket to be drawn...which means your odds are better than ever! We will be holding the discount drawing on Tuesday, April 1st. Don't worry this is not an April Fool's Day prank, we would love to see somebody win!

Computer Trouble

Hey everyone!
I think we all agree that computers have changed our world for the better, however, when something goes wrong, that same world begins to collapse around you. Can you see where this is going? Since Saturday, our computer has been trying to ward off a terrible virus. However, this virus is very persistent; thus we have had to seek outside help. Thanks to Vicki and her wonderful husband, Denny, we can be assured that our computer is in good hands. So, for now, we must resort to life without a computer. While we can deal with written receipts, we are without our greatest resource...the Internet! Needless to say, we have been wanting to send out an email to let you know of some important updates. So, hopefully you will wonder where we have been and check out our website/blog for yourself. We are not neglecting you, we are simply experiencing "technical difficulties".

TWO IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Aran Class: The dates for class have been changed! The class is beginning this Saturday, March 15th from 9-11, which means if you are interested you must sign up today or tomorrow. This is going to be a great class. You will make several different squares using 7 different aran stitch techniques! In the end you will sew them together to make a beautiful blanket. The size is up to you...it all depends on the number of squares you make. If you are trying to increase your repertoire of skills, this is the class for you!

Monday, March 17th - St. Patty's Day: We will continue the discount drawing. The 100% off ticket is still in the bag! It's simple: make a purchase, pull a ticket, receive a discount. At the very least, you will still receive 10% off!
