me, myself & i

i have a degree in english but that doesn't mean that i don't make grammar mistakes from time to time. after all my degree is in literature not grammar/linguistics.

today in the shop newsletter, i misused the identifier I. i stated "join will and i..." when it should have been join will and me..."

I Give Myself To Thee

How I Make My Socks

BIG, HUGE, INCREDIBLE news!!!!

i'm excited to announce that as of this week, i'm the sole owner of the YARN mart. this is something that i've wanted for a long time and it is exciting to see my dream realized. so many people have helped make this dream a reality but i don't want to sound like an acceptation speech on some hollywood stage. those folks know who they are and they know how much i appreciated them.

so as we celebrate 50 years of knitting and needlepoint, i'm looking forward to new yarns, new needlepoint, more class and more events.

join me on thursday from 4 to 6:30 for a toast of champagne!

no more mondays!

after over 7 years, monday night's perpetual beginner knitter class has come to an end. we have had a wonderful time with great stories, lots of laughter, and great friendships.

we hope that our monday night knitters will move to thursday and join us for stitching, socializing and wine. the shop is open until 8pm every thursday night and a staff member is always on hand to help with small stitching problems and fixes.

so this is not goodbye but see you thursday!

what is it with shawls?

knitter's christmas wish list

knitters love to accessorize. we love gadgets, gizmos and gift certificates. and the YARN mart has some  great gifts for knitters, crocheters, and needlepointers. *hint hint* share this blog post with santa!

keeping your wrists warm!

are your fingers always cold? mine are but i've never been a fan of gloves and mittens are so cute but not practical. you can't type or text with mittens or gloves. and it is even harder to knit with them on. but i love fingerless mitts or wrist warmers. try some of these yummy patterns...
