MARCH 2012
Happy St. Patrick’s Day ~ Happy First Day of Spring ~ Daylight Savings Time for us to spring ahead to some new projects!
I don’t know about you but St. Patrick’s Day always makes us think of cables, so cables will be our theme this month. We’ll continue with TWELVE HATS IN 2012 with cables. We’ve done several cabled sock patterns in the past and it’s so hard to choose just one, so we’re going to make it “knitter’s choice” – we’ll have our sock patterns that feature cables on display and when you make your choice from one of those, you’ll save 10% as the March Special in the yarn shop. Our other special for March is 10% off Brown Sheep Lambs Pride yarn. Please check with Suzanne for more details if you have any questions.
Our spinning days remain popular and we've had requests for a "learn to drop spindle class", so here you are! This month we have a special guest instructor who will bring knowledge, fiber and the spindle to the shop to teach this lovely craft. Its a wonderful way to start in the world of spinning, especially if you aren't ready to invest in a spinning wheel. And its portable, you can take your spindle with you just like you can your knitting! Read more below and make plans to join us.
REGULAR KAL's and a special WORKSHOP!

FEBRUARY 2012
Happy Valentines Day ~ Happy First Day of Spring ~ Happy Presidents Day ~ Happy Groundhog Day ~ Happy St. Patrick’s Day! There are lots of fun celebration days coming up in the next two months and as winter goes by and spring begins, how about joining us for a new project?
We think we have chosen some small but fun things that won’t stretch the dollar to far but still challenge us a little. Knit, crochet, spin along with us! Below is an outline of upcoming events – if you need more details please contact Suzanne at the yarn shop 989-449-4444.
To start things off, HOW ABOUT HATS? Let’s do TWELVE IN 2012! If you’re a member of the online community Ravelry, you might have read about lots of group attempting to do twelve of something this year – 12 sweaters, 12 pairs of socks or mittens, 12 granny squares, spin 12 pounds of fiber – you get the idea. For us, the idea came a little bit late, so we’ve missed January, but beginning in February we are going to have a kal each month for hats. Like socks, hats are a small project that gives you the opportunity to learn a new technique, try a new yarn or knit a simple old favorite without breaking the bank. If you don’t need a hat for yourself or anyone you know, we’re always looking for donations to our hat charity. The goal will be to knit or crochet twelve over the year, but if that’s stretching things to much, don’t fret it and still plan to join in when you can. We’ll kick things off on Wednesday morning February 1 and Monday evening, February 6. This will be a relaxed, not many rules kal (or crochet along). If you have any questions, please check with Suzanne at the yarn shop, 989-449-4444.

Chose your favorite hat pattern if you have one! We’d like to hear about both knit and crochet and if you have an example of a finished hat, please bring it to share. If you don’t already have a favorite, we’ll have some pattern suggestions on hand - for example, the latest issue of Interweave’s Knitscene magazine has at least four different hat patterns and the winter issue of KnitSimple has seven! Both of these publications are available at the yarn shop). If you do bring a favorite hat to show us, please remember to respect the copyright of any pattern you may have used and do not share unless the pattern writer allows it!
