The Noni Workshop was great fun. Nora is a
wonderful designer, we learned
a lot. Nora shared all her secrets
with us, she is unbelievably
talented and what an eye for color!
Her ideas for flowers are out of
this world, very
inspiring. Everybody ended up with a great purse,
some are still
working on theirs (me). We would love to have her back
sometime
next year. Will see what we can plan. You can read about us
on
her blog @nonipatterns.com/blog

New
We have already placed some orders for the Spring, Noro is coming
out with some magnificent new yarns and designs.
Some of the changes we are going to
continue are to buy more domestic products and yarns. We believe supporting
the local and national economy is better than relying on too many imports.
I know that is not entirely possible, as certain high quality products
are only produced in other parts of the world. It has always been our
policy to buy the best product for the best price and to pass on savings
to our customers. We will continue this in the future and if you ever
need or want anything we don’t have in stock, we will gladly place
an order. We also have no problem working with you if it comes to layaway
or any other special arrangement you might like or need.
With this said, we declared Wednesday
night UFO’s (Unfinished Objects) night. Bring anything you are
stuck with and we will help, 7.00 to 9.00 pm, $ 10.00 per session. Sometimes
the only holdup to an unfinished project is the lack of knowledge of
a pattern or technique, or just knowing how to fix a problem. We also
have separate fixing mistakes classes on Thursday morning, the first
session starts June 18 and July 16th. at 9.00 am.
Emily is available for help on Tuesdays
and Fridays and we also can be booked for private lessons if needed.
As most of you know, Emily is amazing when it comes to styling and making
a sweater fit.
Nancy is the “sock queen”,
she will teach her sock class Saturdays from 2.00 to 4.00, always starting
the first Saturday a month. Classes are off for the summer, we will
restart in August. If you are considering the sock class, please put
your name on the list asap, it is already filling up.
Barbara will available for crochet on Saturdays from 10.00 to 12.00
(every Saturday). It can be beginners or advanced, please call to confirm.
Don’t forget sock club, every
first Thursday of the month. This is a sock support group for advanced
sock knitters.
I also want to thank you all for your
continued support of my business. I'm glad and thankful that the
recession has not affected me like it has other businesses. I keep
trying to do my part in bringing you great yarns for a great price and
passing on good deals I get here and there from my suppliers. We will
continue this into the New Year. As always, we will do our best to teach
you what we know and love.
