NEW, NOW and LATER
Hey All!
We have a few things in shop, lots going on NOW at Stitch House and a few great things in the works for LATER… First with the NEW:
We have some new products in shop that are fabulous (I really only try to buy the fabulous if I can help it!). We have in stock every color of Louet Gems sock yarn. With a purchase of this yarn you get a FREE Louet sock pattern. This week we also got in a great line of greeting cards from Itty Bitty Witty Knitties. If you thought our Zippy Pins cracked you up - spend a few minutes digging through and reading these very cute note cards for most occasions. And, finally, MORE MADELINE TOSH!
Classes! Classes and more Classes! I feel sometimes I can’t keep up with all the classes you are asking for but I will continue to do my best. Here are a few upcoming and happening NOW and the whole current list is attached.
TONIGHT Last Friday Night Kids Craft Club: The Last Friday Night Kids Craft Club meets from 5-7pm and is designed to provide kids ages 8-12 an opportunity to sew or create a quick craft.

Pick-up and drop-off times should be honored. There is a $15 fee to participate in this 2 hour club and includes all project materials and a slice of pizza and drink. The Last Friday Night Kids Craft Club meets through June including Jan. 29, Feb. 26, Mar. 26, Apr. 30, May 28 & June 25 from 5-7 pm. Pre-registration required. Club size is limited to 12. Only 1 spot left!
Knitting 101/ Intro to Knitting - If you have no knitting experience, or have tried a few times but quit because that scarf was just taking too darn long and you got bored, then this is the class for you! This class will teach you the basics, and together we will create something small, manageable and fabulous. Not only will you leave with a finished project, but you’ll have the motivation and the tools to keep knitting! Offered Tuesday evenings from 6-8 OR Saturdays 11am-1pm (both ongoing enrollment). Classes are $75 (not including materials) for 4 weeks. Join Claire or Katie for this great class!
FREE This Way Up Scarf - Chelsea’s January run with her Free Clapotis night has turned into a new FREE Workshop night with her. Join her Wednesdays in February to work on a new project – the This Way Up Scarf (free Ravelry download). Check out the sample in the shop, made in Rowan Cocoon. It is a subtle detail for a great gift – especially for the men in your life. You should know how to knit and purl but we’ll go over the pattern and help you manage the repeat design in this pattern - we just ask you buy your yarn for the Stitch House.
