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!

Jan. Classes and such
Happy New Year!! Hope your holiday season was wonderful and filled with joy and friends. Here at the shop we've been considering how to best ring in OUR new year. We've done and inventory and made a few decisions on new yarns to stock and old ones not to! We've cleaned up and rearranged a bit and have big plans for the new year!
January is going to be fun! We're closed Jan 1&2 and will reopen with normal hours on Jan. 5! Speaking of Jan. 5, we have a special treat starting that day. Shirley Spell, an awesome local knitter is going to be in the yarn shop from 11-2 that Tuesday and others that follow. If you need knitting help, or perhaps a private lesson, this is the time! Shirley offers pattern support, private lessons and more! Drop in and get a bit of advice or just hang out and knit with us!
Speaking of hanging out and knitting with us, on Jan 6 & 20th (and the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of months to follow) a group of knitter's/crocheters/crafters will be meeting from 1-3pm. Come on in then, or Thursday Evenings for our regular Craft in (6:30-8:30).
Classes:
