Greetings knitters, crocheters and fiber enthusiasts, We hope you're enjoying the lovely spring weather! When it's too nice to sit inside and play with yarn, our solution is to sit outside and play!!

What's on our needles?
We are so grateful to all of you who come in and show us what you are working on that we thought maybe you would like to hear what we are up to.

Rebekah is knitting the "Ophicleide Cardigan" by Kamicha at www.yarned.net out of Rowan's Wool Cotton
Nicole is knitting the "Central Park Hoodie" by Heather Lodinsky out of Rowan's Aran Tweed. She is knitting in the round - steeks, here we come.
Ellen is knitting Poffertjes blanket from Twist Collective Spring 2009 out of Karabella's Aurora 8
Christa is trying to finish a few things before starting others. She has to knit sleeves on a Tiur pullover and a pair of thumbs on a pair of mittens before she's allowed to start more socks or another Noro Striped Scarf. She prefers to think she's ahead on next winter's knitting, not behind on last winter's.

We will try to have the projects with us when at work so if you would like to see something just ask.

Sale Rack
We are so inspired by the creative scrap yarn projects so many of you are knitting that we want to help you fill in any yarny holes in your projects without too much damage to your budget. Buy 10 skeins of sale rack yarn --any 10 skeins--for $40. Mix and match to your heart's content. Individual skeins are 30% off. You must buy all 10 skeins in the same transaction to receive the special $40 price. All sales rack sales are final.

Knit Doctor
You asked for it and we listened. As most of you know we always try to help with quick knitting questions and /or mishaps, but sometimes folks need a little more help than we can provide in a few minutes at the counter. Here's where the Knit Doctor comes in. Beginning April 4, the Knit doctor will be available on Saturday afternoons from 2-4pm. For $10 you can reserve 15 minutes for individual, undivided attention to help get you back on track.

Knit Night
Come join us for a respite from the over-planned, over-scheduled lives everyone seems to be living these days. Every Wednesday night we get together to socialize, knit, chat, show off our yarny triumphs, get sympathy for our yarny disasters, and basically just hang out. So please join us on Wednesdays @ 6:00pm- 8pm and bring your knitting! As always, Knit-Nights are free
