Keeping You In Stitches!

Wow! Our Mystery Sale was a super success! Thanks to all of you that came and enjoyed some fantastic sales and specials; staff members and customers alike had a wonderful day.
We have again had truckloads of new arrivals and we are busy finding space to fit it all in! That's not always the easiest thing to do either. Lots of new Amy Butler patterns and fabrics have arrived; for those of you not familiar with Amy Butler Designs you must come and see these!
Our yarn section is also expanding very quickly with many new shades and varieties for Fall. One of the new yarns is Tweed Montage, a wool/acrylic blend by Kertzer and is perfect for sweaters.
The monster balls of Marble Chunky have literally disappeared on us TWICE and the new colours are "STUNNING". Tarryn showed us an afghan she is crocheting with it and WOW - Jill is also knitting a sweater using it and she says she can't put it down. The amazing thing about this yarn is that it is variegated and every row is a "surprise".
The countdown is officially on to the first Demo of the season. Next Friday at 1:30 is the time to mark on your calendar so you can come down and see what we have in store for you!
Gotta run now - there are even more boxes to be opened. It's like Christmas every day here!

Hi there - this is Jill!
We are playing with photography today so here is a picture of Shirley's sample for her upcoming New York Beauty class. It's a stunning rendition of this popular pattern - next time you are in the shop you will have to check it out!
We have lots of the samples on display, but there are still a few more to come so check back often as we will be posting more pictures over the next few days and weeks.
We are so excited to be able to offer such a full roster of classes for this fall and many of them are filling fast!
