Merry Christmas.....almost

Hard to say which is better looking....the present or the wrapper.  Sorry, Kristine's got the last of this particular model but you can certainly help yourself (or any number of loved ones) to that gorgeous sweater.  Santa can pick from 13 colors of Kathmandu's wool/silk/cashmere blend and call you NICE!!!

NIGHT CREATURES REJOICE!!!

Morticia’s not stirring about but we have more and more folks venturing out to join our evening classes. Troop Knitting shares Tuesday nights with Heart of the Highlands Knitting Guild and beginning knitting or crocheting classes. Thursday nights are for Chix with Stix, a Gypsy Shawl KAL and occasional classes.

We’ve just expanded the parking lot, so there’s plenty of room for everything from SUVs to brooms….but all others “will be toad”!

ONCE UPON A PEONY…

When we bought this brave little house, peonies and some sort of oddball daffodil were just beginning to come up. We carefully dug them up for safekeeping and sure enouch, they’re back with us. The house was built in 1900 and I wouldn’t risk saying these are “original” but they’re beautiful and fragrant and I like to think of all the changes they might have seen in this neighborhood.

World Wide Knitting and Happy Birthday

  Gosh!  How much fun can we stand???  "World-wide knitting" observance has grown to an entire week, June 12th-19th.  Take it to the doctor's office, play practice, to the movies (but PLEASE not to live theatre), when you're the car PASSENGER, your favorite social hangouts.....anywhere folks can see what fun knit and crochet activities are!
  The last Saturday (June 19th) give it one last good effort, then join us to celebrate A Likely Yarn's 3rd Birthday!  We opened June 3rd, 2008, RE-opened June 1, 2009 and here we are primed and ready for another great year.  Birthday cake and lemonade at 2pm, 213 Pecan St., just across the tracks from the Creeper Trail parking lot and almost-next to the VA Creeper Trail Bike Shop.

Yarn of the Month....Katia's Paper Yarn

  "Scissors, rock, PAPER!!!"  Yeaaaaa!!  We win!!  And the prize is......summer-cute, summer-quick sunhats, market bags, coasters and placemats.  Best of all, it's machine-washable so there's no worry if you get caught in a sudden shower, a water-gun fight or just want to wash and re-shape it.  128 yards, we like it best on a U.S. 10.5 needle or an "E" hook.....and here's the REAL "best of all"!!  For the whole month of May it's 10% of all the skeins, all the colors you can carry home!!
