Noni Workshop NOW FREE!
Our numbers were low for registrations for this weekend’s awesome workshop planned with Nora Bellows of Noni Designs. I couldn’t let so many people miss out on what I think is going to be a fabulous time… so I invite ALL of you to join us for no charge! Please come but let us know so we are prepared with snacks and chairs. Nora will be here Saturday and Sunday from 10-4 and you are welcome both days or pick your favorite. We are also hosting a welcoming party Friday evening from 6-8pm. This is a great opportunity to meet a wonderful designer and very creative knitter! Get inspired by her and all the samples of her designs on display at Stitch House.
Marie is also here next week, Wednesday, November 11 for picture day. There are times available throughout the day and it is a school holiday in observance of Veterans Day. Use this time to get a jump start on your holiday pictures for cards and gifts. Call us to arrange for your time with Marie.
We got some new yarns for late Fall and Early Winter this week. Check out Rowan’s Cocoon and Grand Opera, Cascade Chunky Baby Alpaca, Debbie Bliss Rialto DK, Marble Chunky (very fun!), Noro Kureyon Sock, and a ton of new regular stock. I am more excited about the newest Amy Butler Fabrics in stock. We doubled our original offering - and these are beautiful cottons in quilting/garment and home decorating weights.
There are also classes starting tonight and this coming week. They include:
Cabling Mini- Workshop If you are ready to learn cabling techniques but don’t want to commit to a four week class –we have the perfect one-skein project for you! In one session you’ll get at least one repeat done on a cabled neck cozy (one of our favorite things to make) using one skein of chunky yarn. Imagine, learning to cable and leaving with a completed cable pattern repeat in just one night! Participants should be familiar with knitting and purling. This mini-workshop is $20 and includes the pattern and a ball of yarn for the cozy (needles & buttons are not included) and runs Thursday, November 5th from 6-8pm. THIS CLASS IS TONIGHT!
Bill’s Bootie Workshop Bill is our in-house baby bootie expert. We’ve designed three 2-week workshops, each session increasing the difficulty of the booty design. Participants should expect to complete the bootie pair in each session. Each session is $30 and includes the pattern and a ball of yarn for the booties (needles are not included) and runs for 2 consecutive Thursdays from 6-8pm. November 12 & 19.
Introduction to Sewing - “Learn to Dress Yourself” This four week class will give you experience in the basics of sewing so that you will have the knowledge and confidence to undertake projects on your own. You will learn how to understand and follow pattern instructions, cut out patterns and make minor pattern alterations for a better fit. In addition you will learn clothing construction fundamentals such as seams, darts, waistbands, zippers, buttonholes and hem techniques. Students are also welcome to sew a Butler bag or garment or simple patchwork quilt in this series. Pick from one of two sessions: This class is offered for the next 3 THURSDAYS for a reduced rate of $60 - THIS CLASS IS TONIGHT!
I hope to see you this weekend!
