Six Weeks of Christmas - Week 1 - Glitz, Glam, and Sparkle

What would a Christmas tree be without some sparkly ornaments to adorn it and tinsel dripping from its branches?  Silver and Gold decorations are certainly a sign that Christmas is on the way!

Why not adorn yourself with some glitz and show off your Christmas spirit?  We'll help you get started!

Election Day

We're a week away from Election Day!  If you shop with us on November 5th and are wearing your "I Voted" sticker, we'll pay your sales tax!  We don't care who you voted for, just that you voted.

Shuttle Tatting Class

We're excited that our first Tatting class was a full one!  If you're hoping to learn to tat, keep an eye on our class schedule; we will be offering this class again.  If you're too excited to learn to wait for the next class, or if you're one of our long distance customers, try out the Shuttle Tatting class available through Craftsy.

Rockets!

We are gradually phasing out our stock of Addi Turbo Lace needles and will instead be carrying the Addi Turbo Rockets.  These have the same sharp tip as the Lace needles but are made of nickle like the regular Addi Turbos.

We just received our first shipment of the Rockets and currently have 24" US 4, 24" US 8, 32" US 5, 32" US 6, 32" US 9, and 40" US 9.

Shuttle Tatting class October 19

Are you interested in learning Shuttle Tatting?

We've had many requests over the years for a tatting class and we are so happy to say that we are now offering a Beginning Tatting class!

Saturday, October 19 from 1:00-3:00 we'll have our first Beginning Tatting class with Beverly.  The class is $40 and all materials are provided.

No knitting, crochet, or prior crafting skills required.

If you're unable to join us this Saturday but would still like to learn Shuttle Tatting, Cassie recommends taking the Shuttle Tatting class with Marilee Rockley from Craftsy.  As always, we're more than happy to ship tatting supplies to you!

Tomorrow is I Love Yarn Day!

Tomorrow is I Love YARN DAY!!  How much do you love yarn?  We love yarn a lot!  We're giving you something to go with your yarn for I Love Yarn Day.  We're giving a free pattern from our pattern bin to every customer that comes in tomorrow.

Come on by and see us, be tempted by some beautiful yarns, and get your free pattern!

Choose Your Own Adventure (and Time!) Wynter Mittens

Classic Elite Yarns Blackthorn and Wynter are our October Yarns of the Month.  Kristine has made several pairs of mittens using these yarns.  The mittens all started with the same pattern, the Gibbons Lane mitten pattern from CEY booklet #3274 Blackthorn, but she has put a few twists on the original to spice things up a bit.

If you would like to learn how to make these mittens, whether you're a first time mitten maker or someone looking to broaden your mitten skills, give Kristine a call to schedule your Wynter Mittens class.  276-628-2143  You can all send her an email at alikelyyarn@yahoo.com (be sure to put ATTN: Kristine in your subject).  The class is $15.00 plus materials.  (Materials for the class: One skein of Wynter or Blackthorn, size US 9 double pointed needles, and the Gibbons Lane pattern.)
