Formula Drive

We are nearing the end of our baby formula drive! We will continue collecting formula through Thursday, July 3rd. Your generosity is so appreciated- thank you, thank you, thank you! We have collected a huge amount of formula to be donated to Project Share. Remember, with each donation you will receive a discount off your purchase amount. We have seen quite a few 20% and 30% tickets drawn, but we are still waiting for the BIG winner. There are two 100% off tickets in the bag.

FYI... The shop will be closed Friday, July 4th. Happy Independence Day!

Out of Town

This weekend, Hilary and I will be out of town at a trade show in Columbus, Ohio. We will be looking for wonderful new yarns to bring back to the shop. Unfortunately we will not be here for First Friday on Pomfret Street, however, we are lucky enough to have Vicki keep the shop open for us. First Friday is June 6th from 5PM-8PM. There will be lots of fun happening on the street, so you should definitely check it out. Since we will be staying open late, we are not opening until 12:00 on Friday. Also, the shop will be closed Saturday.

So here is the jist of it:
Friday, June 6th Open 12:00PM-8:00PM
First Friday 5:00PM-8:00PM
Saturday, June 7th Closed

What Would You Like to See?

We are in the process of planning classes for the summer. We'll be offering our regulars like Beginning Knitting and Socks as well as some new classes that we are excited about. We'd like to consider what, YOU, our customers are looking for in terms of classes. Is there something you have been wanting to learn?

Also, we will be venturing out to Columbus, Ohio in early June to attend a vendor fair (TNNA). We will be looking to bring in some new lines. Have you used a really interesting yarn lately? We'd love to hear about some of your favorites (that we don't currently carry).

So, please comment on this post with your requests and we will see what we can do. Thanks so much for your continued support!

Lantern Moon Bags On Sale!

All Lantern Moon bags are marked 10% off throughout the month of May!

So many of us carry our knitting around in grocery bags! What does that say about our craft?!~Sally Melville

It's time for you to upgrade. You ARE worth it!

Not to mention, they also make great beach bags!

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!
