Today is the first Day of Sept. To many this means summer is just about over. All it means to me is cooler weather so I can Knit & Crochet comfortably. I don't know about you, but I hate air conditioning. I feel like this thing has been running non stop for months.
So come in, check out all the new products for Fall, check out our new layout and take advantage of these sale items.

One on One 2 1/2 hour Beginner classes are now only $25 each which includes Yarn, Needles and instruction manual. Step 2 or 3 classes are only $15 per hour. Most planned projects will only take you an hour. Call or Email us for more information and to make a reservation.

Jamie is Back!

The classic Jamie Baby weight yarn is being re-distributed. I'm sure the dye-lots and texture won't match what you have at home but I've had so many people ask about it, I'm glad they've decided to bring it back.

August Sales

A little late this Month. If you haven't been in the shop lately, we've done a bit of remodeling. Some expansions and moving things around plus a new coat of paint. We are still making small changes until it feels perfect but we're open and ready for business & classes. We hope to see you soon.
