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.
