2 Year Birthday Bash!
Hi All! I can’t believe I’m hitting the two year mark. It feels great to be young! I hope you can make it THIS Sunday for our 2 year birthday bash! It will be fun - I have a ton of giveaways and we’ll have food, and live entertainment (yes!) and great trunk show items on show and great items on sale. We’ll have goodie bags and great discounts on so many yarns and products. I hope you can join us.
We also have a few classes starting up this coming week and our FUN Dress Form Workshop this Friday!
Here are the classes:
Beaded Spiral Hat: This close-fitting knit cap adds a bit of sparkle with elegant glass seed beads worked into the spiral design using the crochet hook method of beading. This 2-session class will teach a modified version of the popular “Odessa” pattern by Grumperina (a free download at www.ravelry.com). This is a great project for beginners who want to learn knitting in the round, or for experienced needle crafters looking to jazz up their hat-making skills. Come in to Stitch House to see the shop model! This Class will run two Sundays 12-2pm on September 27 & October 4. The cost is $30,
not including materials, and is due at the time of registration.
Home Décor - Window Treatments: This four-week class will provide you with the skills and confidence to construct a custom lined, window treatment. Students can select a treatment such as a Roman Shade or pleated drape. Students can meet a week earlier for an additional fee to shop with Julie to purchase materials. A class materials list and directions on measuring will be provided the week prior to class. Learn the correct way to measure your window(s) to assure a proper and custom fit. At the completion of this course you will have a functioning shade and instructions on how to mount and install your beautiful Roman Shade at home. Wednesdays starting September 23, 30, October 7 and 14 from 6-8pm ($100, not inclusive of materials)
