the new place
On May 2 we're moving to a new location downtown. we got to go look, the work is not all done, but i wanted to introduce you to the space. :-)
this is the front window--i can't wait to start having a place for real displays :-)
all this lovely slat board will be used to hang yarn--i'm excited about having all those little separate spots to hang different weights of yarn.
more pics of our little slat board areas...
this is our backroom--we will be designating this as a "work room/classroom". that's the bathroom in the corner.

We're Moving!!
We've gotten a wonderful new shop location and will be moving around May 1. We will be moving from our current location to 519 Main Street... if you're familiar with Rapid City, this is where Red Wing shoes used to be located, just two doors down from Botticelli's!
While we've been very happy where we are, we've decided we need to move on to a bigger space that is more centrally located. Be sure to stop in and see us.
also, we still have spaces available for our April Cohorts. (both the 10:30-noon one and the 2:00-3:30 one).

Good morning!
April classes will look just like the March classes did. Sign up for the whole month ($20.00 plus tax) and come each Saturday to work on a project of your choosing. Several weeks there will be skill builder sheets, so consider bringing a 3-ring binder to put them all in. Each will cover a technique that you may not be familiar with. There are two time options to sign up for with 7 slots in each.
10:30-12:00pm
2:00-3:30pm
We are considering adding an evening of spinning--i'd love to hear from anyone what night would be best.
In addition there will be a plying class on April 10th from 4-5pm. This class is a follow-up for basic spinning. please bring a spindle full of spun singles and we'll ply it! ($5.00)
thanks so much
Candis, Amanda and Rita

Feb & March classes
Hi!
Feb. Classes are going to be very limited as we will be closed Feb. 11-13, and Rita will be out of the shop Feb 19-20.
Clearance Sale: all sale yarn is buy 3 get one 4 during the month of Feb. Come on in and help us clear out our overstock!
Feb. 6 10:30-12:00 Beginning Spinning ($5.00 plus supplies)
Feb. 6 2:00-4:00 Beginning Knitting ($5.00 plus supplies)
Feb. 27 2:00-4:00 Beginning Knitting ($5.00 plus supplies)
Starting in March Classes will be a bit different. Each Saturday there will be two class sessions
10:30am-12:00 and 2:00pm-3:30. Each class has 8 seats.
the classes will require that you register for the class ($20.00 a month). You are welcome to work on any project you wish, but there will be knitting support and i will regularly bring in a mini skill builder. The skill builder will take about 20 minutes and will cover a single technique. the skill builder will have a handout to accompany, and the skills might be anything from kitchener stitch to knit one below to threaded stitch. Otherwise, each member of the class will work on whatever project they choose. sometimes, the groups may select a single project to work on together, other times, each work on a project of their choice.
Your seat will be held whether you are able to attend each class session or not, so you register and pay for a full month at a time.
I expect these two sections to fill up quickly, and i may be adding a Tuesday afternoon section if there is enough interest.
Call or email the shop to reserve a spot!
We're also going to start another class option: Build Your Own Class. this class allows you to pick your own project, get at least 3 friends and we'll do the project together! Again, call or email the shop to build your class!
