Happy August!
Greetings friends! This is a little late because I was enjoying the last weekend of Summer Yarn Camp! Had SO MUCH fun relaxing, knitting, tinking, cussing (just a little), eating and just catching up with our group! I think my shoulders relaxed out of my ears a little and it was glorious! Fall Yarn Camp is only 6 weeks away! I can't wait!!! We'll have Lonesome Pine Yarnworks with us and much more! Learn how to knit socks in a weekend! Make and take a pumpkin! All at Fall Yarn Camp...and don't forget our annual stitch marker exchange. More on that below. Happy stitching!

MAKE SOCKS IN A WEEKEND!
Join us on August 25th at the shop and meet Sherry from Lonesome Pine Yarnworks! She'll be teaching a "Sock Dog Class"...how to take a pre-knitted tube, cut it and insert the afterthought heel and toe (times 2) and "voila" you have a pair of socks! A great customizable gift for Christmas or Birthday!! $40 for the class from 4-6pm at the shop! Call us or email us to hold your spot! We have limited space...this is the same class we'll have available for Fall Yarn Campers.
If you live out of town and can't make it on August 25th (or the class reaches capacity), the same class will be taught at Fall Yarn Camp! Sherry and her sister, Teri, will be back to teach again! AND, Teri will teach a Make and Take Knitted Pumpkin Class!

STITCH MARKER EXCHANGE AT
FALL YARN CAMP SEPT 29-OCT 1 OR OCT 6-8
In preparation for Fall Yarn Camp, you will want to make or purchase a set of 30 stitch markers for our Exchange at Yarn Camp. Everyone brings 30 of the same marker, then we set them out in bowls and each of us gets to take one of what everyone brought! So, you come with 30 of the same and you leave with 30 unique stitch markers! It's a lot of fun and a fun way to "spice up" your notions bag.
You can purchase charms and attach jump rings. Use Shrinky Dinks. Buy beads and string them in small clusters. Or just go online and buy them! There are SO MANY creative options! Checkout Pinterest or Youtube for ideas and creative inspiration!
We always have knitters AND crocheters at Yarn Camp, so maybe you bring a mix of both types of markers...or all of one. See below for the difference.
These are Crochet Stitch Markers, using cute little Shrinky Dinks. They can be "unlocked" or detached and moved around. You can use leverback earring hooks from any craft store.
These are Knitting Stitch Markers with locking rings. They slide on and off the needles. You can find solid rings at any craft store.
